Wow, I came to write a product endorsement and saw all the negative reviews... I might have when I first got mine but then I discovered the Presto MyPod to go with it and I love it. I'm pretty much the only coffee drinker in my house and have been using the little coffee BAGS. After drinking coffee through the Home Cafe, though, those bags just are flavorless. AND using the MyPod, I use my own coffee for MUCH LESS than those individual pods.I've had mine since Christmas (nearly 4 months now) and never had a problem.

Excellent idea, I could not have been more excited to try it out. I returned the first one two hours after buying it because the reservoir leaked uncontrollably. I trashed the second one after trying everything I could to stop leaks from under the cup rest plate. I don't know why it deposits water there, but it does everytime it brews a cup, until it overflows and soaks the countertop. I'm tired of cleaning up messes!Stay away from this machine.

This thing works great, but brews room temperature coffee. It is terrible. At least it didnt blow up in my face like the Senseo though. Every one cup coffee make that I have ever owned has completely sucked. This was the 1st of many. STAY FAR AWAY!!!

I purchased the Black and Decker Home Cafe and it worked well for 3 months. Then the pod holder disintegrated and I called Black and Decker for a replacement part. The part was no longer available so they sen me a new machine.The new machine leaked water on the counter and not into the cup. Another call and another new pot. This is the third pot and I will make another call. All I want now is a refund, but that is not in the cards.I would suggest no one buy this machine. It is the poorest design and quality on the market. I am not sure what their cost is, but I would think the replacements would be checked better and they would try to improve the quality.

I got this for a Christmas present last year. Worked fine for a couple of months, except sometimes the coffee wasn't really hot. Coffee tasted good, though. Then, one day one of the pods exploded and after cleaning it up, I tried to make another cup. That's when the water started running and running and running. So I called customer service, and they sent me a new one. That worked well, until Monday when nothing worked on it. I pressed the button, and nothing happened. Switched to another outlet, still nothing. Call customer service again and they said they were retooling it and a new one wouldn't be available until August. She said they had had lots of "major" problems with this machine. I asked for my money back instead and will try to find a different one. Maybe I'll check out Gevalia or Senseo.

Ok, I bought this as soon as they hit the stores. A one cup machine is perfect for me. But this machine wasnt!After 2 months, I noticed some plastic bits in my coffee. Hmmm very strange. So I inspect the pod holder. Yup, it's cracked. So I call and get a replacement. After 3 weeks, I finally get the replacement. Great, on with the coffee. 2 months after getting the replacement, the pod holder is cracked again. And upon further inspection, the plastic holding the pod holder is broken as well. That's where the plastic bits in my coffee were coming from.Also, the locking mechanism was breaking into bits as well. So my husband told me not to use it anymore. I went to empty the water container to find my machine was also leaking everywhere!This thing has since went into the trash. I'm out $65 and am now researching the other One Cup Machines.
