Overview
An office desk, dorm shelf or hotel room counter is the home of this compact Salton brewer. It drips hot water over grounds in a reusable mesh filter and fills a mug placed beneath it.
A mug comes in the box and the space-saving body brews without a carafe to wash. The limit is volume: it makes one cup per run, and hand washing is required.
Who it's for
Offices, dorms and small apartments where one person drinks coffee will use the narrow footprint. Couples and families will wait through repeated cycles.
Pros and cons
- Brews directly into a mug
- Reusable mesh filter
- Ceramic mug included
- Works for tea and hot chocolate
- Single cup per cycle
- Not dishwasher safe
- Mug height limits not listed
Performance notes
Hot water passes over the grounds in the mesh filter and drips into the mug, so strength depends on how much coffee is scooped. A mesh filter lets fine oils through, which adds body but can leave sediment. Mug size must match the space under the brew head.
