Last refreshed Jun 15, 2026 · Based on the Amazon listing and published specifications, not hands-on testing.
Small and genuinely portable, with real appeal for travel or off-grid brewing, but the lack of automatic shutoff and a manual per-cup handle are real trade-offs to accept going in.

Overview
The Salton FC1205 is a 10 ounce mini drip coffee maker that brews straight into a mug, using a reusable mesh filter and including a bonus ceramic mug, aimed at small spaces, offices and travel.
An illuminated on/off switch and a reusable nylon filter mean no paper filters to restock, and the base fits mug sizes beyond the included ceramic one. It draws little power for a hot water device, which one reviewer put to use running it from a portable power station while camping.
- 10 ounce brew capacity direct to mug
- Reusable mesh or nylon filter included
- Bonus ceramic mug included
- Illuminated on/off switch
Who it's for
Anyone wanting a compact single-cup brewer for a desk, small kitchen, or an off-grid trip. Not a fit for anyone who wants hands-off brewing with automatic shutoff.
Pros and cons
- Compact and portable, runs off small power stations when camping
- Reusable mesh filter skips paper filters
- Comes with a bonus ceramic mug
- Also works for tea and hot chocolate
- No automatic shutoff, stays powered on after brewing
- Requires manually turning an internal handle for each cup
Performance notes
It brews directly into the included ceramic mug or similarly sized mugs, and one reviewer measured it drawing about 345 watts off a Bluetti power station while camping. There's an internal handle that must be turned for each cup, and the unit has no automatic shutoff once brewing finishes, so it stays powered on until switched off by hand.
