Black & Decker Duel Coffee Maker DDCM200

I received this coffee maker as a Christmas gift from my mother-in-law. I have had it since December of 2007, so its been 6 months now. It has 2 travel mugs which was appealing to me.

My husband and I like to make coffee to drink on the way to work. Having it brew right into the travel mugs was an added convenience. We found that it had its quirks.

When brewing both cups at one time, one would fill more than the other. When you took the cup away thinking it was done, the machine would drip more coffee. We started putting a mug down after taking the travel cup away.

One of the cups lids leaked a little everytime we used it, of course dripping coffee on our work clothes! We found that it was much easier to just brew one cup and of course use the lid that didn't leak.

I began going to Dunkin Donuts once again for my morning coffee becuase it was just more convenient than dealing with the hassle. At first glance it seemed great, but I wished things worked out better.

If Black & Decker works out the quirks with this, it would be wonderful. I have never really seen a dual travel cup coffee maker like this one.

If they fix this one it could really be a great addition to the working family's morning routine!
