when this happened to me I unplugged the unit for a while, and then it worked again. I like this coffeemaker a lot, but there are a couple of points to know about. The customer service email in the booklet bounced back (of course), so I would have had to call if I couldn't fix it. (1) it spits coffee onto the counter, even with the spout in the lowest position (Melitta's solution to this problem); (2) the water container is pretty flimsy and I expect the lid to break sooner than I would like; (3) you have to learn how to get the water container seated exactly right and it's a little tricky. if you don't, the machine freaks out and won't brew even when the water is in the right position. That said, I like it and it's a decent single serve coffee maker. The coffee is almost hot enough and the taste is ok, but there isn't much choice in this type of coffee maker and I am happy with mine.
My college daughter and her friends have followed the directions NUMEROUS times and cannot get a decent cup of coffee. Don't waste youe $$.
I use bottled water in my machine and you can refill it while it is running if you need to make several cups of tea. I do not use the Melitta tea bags - they make very bitter tea.
I just bought three more (one for our beach house, one for the office and a spare for at home). I use it every day to make hot tea.
I purchased my first one:one machine about 4 years ago. The tea this makes is much better than the microwave.
As others have stated in the reviews, the water hopper does not hold much water. For one or two people it is ideal for hot tea because it is much quicker than heating a kettle of water.
I love the Republic of Tea Breakfast Blend in this machine but any round tea bag works like Tetley British Blend. Overall I really like this machine.
Also, the coffee was not as hot as a regular coffee maker usually emits.For those complaining about not having foam, buy an espresso machine. However, I do agree with some reviewers.
I figured for that price it couldn't hurt to try it. My husband often has a cup of coffee or two before work.
We just bought this machine in white for a steal of $8. We used a couple of different pods with it, the Senseo pods and Folgers.
With a regular coffee maker we find that we waste a lot of coffee. With the Melitta One:One he can make just a cup or two and it is perfect.
It would be nice to be able to brew a larger cup of coffee. This is just a straight forward no frills coffee machine.
I was very dissapointed in this product. I wasted $60 for a leaky machine with very few choices of coffee. Just save up a few more bucks and get yourself a Keurig.
