Under cabinet coffee maker?

So our MH came with a Balck Decker under cabinet coffee maker. My wife likes it off the counter and not having to put away every time we travel. She's the only one that drinks coffee, I don't. Well she can't get it to brew good coffee. We tried cleaning it, running vinegar through it. Ran CLR through it and then vinegar and then flushed it many times with water. The coffee just doesn't tune out right she says. Sometimes it's too strong, sometimes it's too weak. She just never knows how it's gong to turn out.

What does everyone one use as far as under cabinet mount goes? So far it looks like B&D is the only one. If it's just ours and it's old we will buy a replacement, but if this is how they all are we don't want to waste any money on another!

Thanks!

Keurig coffee makers are my first choice. They make one individual cup of FRESH coffee every time. I use K-pods. You can use ground coffee to a one cup coffe. The size of the Keurig is perfect for RV's.

we had one that came with the rig, but it leaked and didn't work good, so we took it out and put a coffee maker on the kitchen shelf. used that for a long time, but finally found a keurig that fits on the kitchen shelf and we're good with that. I place it on one of those rubber mats to keep it from sliding off the shelf.

Has she tried other brands/grinds of coffee ? I have no B&D coffee maker experience. We just use a simple MrCoffee or for a treat grind our own & use a French press

Our Isata came with a B&D under cabinet model. We make it a little on the strong side and then add creamer to suit our taste.
I will say that our Allegro came with the same coffee maker but it started leaking so we just replaced it with a counter top model. It has rubber feet and does not move going down the road.

We use this CUISINART Grind and Brew Coffee maker. The beautify of this coffee maker is it grinds and brews bean coffee and pours up into a Thermos coffee carafe which keeps the coffee hot for many hours. After the brewing has completed the coffee maker completely shuts off which is very important when camping OFF-GRID...

We also bring along our favorite bottled water for making coffee and this pretty much insures we get the same good taste we like everytime we make coffee...

We normally setup our coffee maker outside on a folding table..

Any coffee maker you buy will heat water and pass through the grinds to make coffee. If you want good coffee, you need to buy good coffee grounds or beans. I like good coffee, and I don't mean the bargain brand off the shelf, but good coffee. Either from local shops or higher end brands. As far as a machine, I always found my Keurig to be cumbersome and clunky. I recently purchased a Mueller to replace my Keurig that gave up the ghost. I did a lot of research and the Mueller is superior in every way. It's better quality, the pump is stronger and surprisingly, it's simpler to use. If I am using pods, I personally think Peets has the best brand of off the shelf. But usually I will cater to small local shops and buy beans or grounds and use my strainer pod. Also, I will try and find brands that use biodegradable pods. With my strainer pod, I can use my own grounds and there is no waste going into the landfill. Millions of people using plastic pods every day has a huge environmental impact.

there was an article in a magazine that reported that the Kerig coffee makers did not produce the best coffee, not hot enough water, etc. I was thinking of trying one but there are no 1/2 caf cups available. Is your problem perhaps related to the water used?

I see amazon carries a Mueller unit that takes pods.

The B&D under cabinet coffee makers had a bad reputation. I would find a way to get a conventional model mounted on a shelf.

Bumpy...Yes there are half caff K cups available. I use green mountain from Publix.

Perfect Cup Every Time!!!
