Cafe Uno One Cup Coffee Maker

Makes really good coffee if ...
On getting ready to order another Cafe Uno I decided to read some other opinions. Hmm. Here's a recommendation for everyone who orders any one of these one cup coffee makers: Use a paper filter. With this unit I simply cut a paper napkin into 16 little squares and place one in the basket on each making. On the other two one cup makers I purchased I used regular coffee filters (small ones). The other two units I bought were made by Brookstone and Black & Decker. I've owned the Brookstone for several years. It's been excellent.

Just what my parents wanted
