To me I like the CV-1 when I was reading about it and thought of buying one until I saw the price! The CV-1 along is say $30 and a case of coffee cost $22. If you are a 2 cup a day person like me and maybe more in the wintertime that could but you spending $44 a month for the coffee.
The Black&Decker Brew&Go cost about $20 and comes with a filter that you wash in hot water after you are done and you can buy a 11 ounce can of coffee for $4 and it makes 90 – 6 oz cups per can. Granted I use the mug that comes with coffee maker and it holds almost 2 cups of coffee. I find that 1 coffee scoop cup works out about right for me. You can also use it for heating hot water for Coco or soup! You can do the same with the CV-1 I would guess if save on of the baskets. On the other hand you may not need the basket since the hot water will be going into the cup! You can also use those coffee pod thingies if you want!

So I am going to wait until the price comes down before I buy the CV-1!

I 100% agree with you. Thank you for confirming what my husband and I were investigating!

I too, was dumbfounded upon hearing Apple’s outrageous claim on “bringing video calls to the world”! Even my old rusty Nokia N80 3g phone already has this function, and yet Apple claims that it’s something revolutionary? They must be living in caves for some time!

Just used the CV1 at a Super 8. Great coffee! I looked it up online to buy one because I also only drink 1 cup in the morning, but was pretty disappointed at the price. I think $30 is pretty expensive when I can buy a 12 cup brewer for around $10. I’ll get one when they come down a little.

Hi,
I just recently stayed at the Hyatt Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco and would LOVE to purchase the CV 1 for home use, however, Courtesy Products ships only in the continental U.S. Does anyone have any knowledge about where I could purchase this nifty little coffee maker and have it shipped north? Thanks!

I just started getting the pop-up message when I do a hard reboot (power outage). Like others, I don’t use Outlook in any variety, for security reasons, which is why I searched the text of the message, assuming the worst. I am not noticing performance issues, yet, and I have run ccleaner and I am keeping any eye on my AVG and PC Tools Spyware Doctor for any unusual activity.

I am wondering if it worth uninstalling this Oulook program, and how feasible that might be.
