Comments about One-Cup Coffee Maker:

Just like other campers I was looking for an alternative to coffee filters when camping. I saw this product and thought it would be great. WRONG..
I am glad I tested it at home before our camping trip. 1. When I took the filter part off to put in the coffee grounds the notch intended to keep the permanent filter in place did not work. 2. I put in the recommended amount of coffee grounds and secured it back on funnel, and poured in the hot water, then I waited and waited, and waited, and waited about 30 minutes or so the water finally drained into my mug. By the time the went through the water and coffee was cold. I love REI but if this product is a representation of the quality products they sell I would have to think twice about the items I purchase. I would have been better off using the money I spent to filter my coffee. The only real function I could see for this product is brewing tea or course ground coffee (not the fine grind you buy in the store and it would be great if they made this clear to consumers

Comments about One-Cup Coffee Maker:

I was wanting a quick cheap way to have a good cup of coffee on kayak and camping trips. Glad to say I found it! This is a really slick lil deal that serves the purpose very well and for less than a cost of a coffee as a high end coffee house! I have made several cups of coffee with it so far and with what I would call a normal grind the water runs through the grounds in less than a minute. Easy to clean up too. Granted it has a lil size to it so someone might not have room for it if using it for back packing purposes. I have toyed with the idea of cutting the rim off of it and just holding it over the cup while the water runs through the coffee, That would then make it small enough to fit in my metal pot with my cup. That would solve the staorage space problem.

Comments about One-Cup Coffee Maker:

Got this mainly because I don't have to use a paper filer since I already have a plastic cone at home that uses a paper filter.
This one takes way too long even for a small cup.
Not worth it.

Took this on my last backpacking trip and was greatly disappointed. The hot water didn't want to pass through the coffee grounds. The coffee it finally made was too cold by the time I could drink it.

Comments about One-Cup Coffee Maker:

This is my second coffee contraption as I search for the perfect cup on the trail. I won't be using it again. I LOVE my coffee dark and hot. This little thing requires a regular grind and then it takes FOREVER to make a single cup. By the time the cup of coffee is ready the coffee is not hot anymore. Trying something else. Yes, I am a coffee snob.

Comments about One-Cup Coffee Maker:

I bought this about two years ago to bring backpacking. I'm personally not a fan of coffee sediment and though the little filter it comes with does a good job for the most part, I quickly left that part at home and started using a paper cone filter with it instead. It was very handy while car traveling to quickly refill my travel mug and/or thermos with fresh coffee. I would also note that the base is a little less than 4" across- it does not work with larger mugs like the GSI Fairshare (in fact this whole filter fits in my Fairshare mug!).

Comments about One-Cup Coffee Maker:

Great coffee maker. Very rugged. Although it's too bulky, I never seem not to have enough room for it. All they would have to do is design it like the old style collapsible travel cups I used to get as a kid. I like the built in filter.

Comments about One-Cup Coffee Maker:

Bought this coffee maker to take on a car camping trip. Thank goodness I tried it out at home first since it didn't work like I was hoping.

First: unbearably slow drip
Second: cold coffee by the time it was finished brewing
Third: because it took so long to brew, not handy for multiple cups of coffee

After reading the reviews, I now understand that this coffee brewer works best with course ground coffee and when grounds are not packed full in compartment. I grind my coffee ahead of time so having to purchase special grinds just for this camping brewer vs. my drip coffee maker at home is too much.

Good idea, but. . .

Comments about One-Cup Coffee Maker:

The coffee maker is a good idea, filter and cup in one, but if you want a decently strong cup of coffee, you need to add a paper filter and fill up the cup. If you try to fill the built-in filter with grounds it backs up the drip and by the time you have a full cup of coffee your coffee is warm at best. If you fill the built-in filter just enough so that the drip goes through at an acceptable rate, you end up drinking hot water that has a hint of coffee flavor.

I would recommend getting a regular one-cup coffee maker (Ready-set-joe or the squishy one REI sells) and using a paper filter so that you can enjoy a HOT cup of coffee at whatever strength you wish.
