A single-serve coffeemaker that does pods and ground coffee means that this coffeemaker is also a tea maker, as I can go with a favorites tea, as well as coffee pod. The reusable mesh filter basket that comes with the Proctor Silex Single-Serve Coffeemaker allows me the option of saving on the high cost of pods (up to 50 or 60 cents each), while skipping other people’s idea of a good coffee and using my own custom grinds or favorite packaged coffees to max out a brewed coffee taste.
The pod holder slips easily out leaving space to insert a fine mesh reusable ground coffee holder. I filled about half way with ground coffee and got a really good cup. The coffee maker allows a really big cup under the spout, but not one as tall as my 16 OZ thermal travel/take-my-time-drinking-hot-coffee cup.
Dead simple solution is to fill the water storage area to the top (in case it drips out the overflow opening, I sit the unit on few folded paper towels) and slip a wider, larger capacity cup underneath. When the coffee is brewed, just pour it into the (preheated) thermal cup and I’m all set for a good couple of hours with a big, very tasty cup of strong-as-I-like coffee. The pods are OK, but I can make a stronger cup using the filter basket.
I’ve always associated Proctor-Silex with quality and that seems to hold true with the Proctor Silex Single-Serve Coffeemaker. It works great and cleanup is quick and easy. It’s ideal for someone like me, living alone with a small kitchen area and the daily thirst for one or two large cups of good, strong coffee made to order in five minutes or less.
