cost-conscious, married, messy, an avid online shopper, too busy to make beds, environmentally minded

I have bought 3 of these Toastess TFC-25T one-cup coffeemakers. One was for my son at Christmas, and he has not reported any problems. In fact, last I heard, he absolutely loved the coffeemaker.

HOWEVER, the other two are not working, and I doubt if we will ever get them to work again.
Thing is this is the PERFECT coffee maker for someone like my husband. I drink tea. I got tired of the 11-cup Mister Coffee sitting on the counter. This little thing takes up half the space, is cleaner, makes my hubby a fresh pot of coffee in just 2 minutes, AND it has an automatic shut-off. Not only that, but he doesn't have to buy any of these fancy little pods filled with expensive coffee that he doesn't like. He can use his regular military-strong brew in the permanent nylon filter (not wet paper filters all over the kitchen attracting fruit flies!). It's a coffee-lover's dream. . . . . almost.

The 15-ounce,spill proof, stainless steel travel mug that comes with the machine is perfect for his coffee-in-the-hand drives to town. Before he was always spilling coffee in the car, but now it just isn't a problem. Easy clean, easy storage, and it is insulated!

With everything that I love about this little machine, I can't believe that I have to be negative about it. It is the 800watt model (compared with the TFC-2T 450watt model). Both of ours stopped working about 8wks after the initial use. Hubby says they "burnt out". Yeah, he loves his coffee, but I can't believe he wore it out in 72 days. Apparently there is a 2-yr limited warranty, but the stores won't accept it and neither will Toastess, so now there's two more worthless items cluttering up my storage area.
