Café Valet Black/Silver Single Serve Coffee Brewer, Exclusively for use with Café Valet Coffee Packs

Great Single Serve Brewer
I've actually owned this unit for a year and have been really pleased with it. My first experience with one was in a hotel on one of my many business trips. I was so attracted to its ease of use and compactness, that I tracked one down through the company. With it's durable cord and auto shut off, it's really a commercial grade machine being sold at a consumer grade price. I believe these machines are tested to last for years. Plus, the brewer produces an incredibly smooth cup of high quality, aromatic coffee. (I like Keurig, too, but really miss the aroma.) With the self-contained filter tray, clean up is a whiz.

The coffee Maker works fine but the coffee that comes with it is not very good in my opinion. The coffee is bitter or maybe some would call it acidic. I am a fan of Columbian coffee and the brand I use is smooth. I thought this coffee maker would be nice to have on hand when I only want to make one cup of coffee rather than use the family coffee maker. I would prefer a permanent tray, and I would have liked to use other coffee, which I will try by purchasing empty tea bags and putting in my own coffee. Some folks have tried this and are are happy with the results. The coffee maker is quiet and makes a fairly quick cup of coffee, plus it is small enough to fit in a suit case for travel, take to work, etc. Others may like the coffee that comes with this unit. They do give you enough coffee, with three varieties (regular, decaf, vanilla). I would also like to know what brand of coffee they are using in these tea bag type of pods.

Great little one cup brewer. Ran across this coffee maker in 3 motels while on vacation. Had to have one.
