Black & Decker DCM18S Brew 'n Go Personal Coffeemaker with Travel Mug

I bought this product for my mom, who drinks coffee...but is the only one in our family to do so regularly. Operating it is simple enough; just load the coffee grounds into the (reusable) filter, flip the switch, and voila...coffee brewed and in the mug in about 5 minutes.

There are a couple of drawbacks to this machine though:

1) It doesn't have an "Off" switch. Once you flip the switch down, it will start to boil the water. This usually isn't an issue if you already have the cup sitting there, but when the switch is flipped (but you don't know it) and you plug it in, it starts to boil whatever is inside and you have to wait until the light turns off automatically before you can load your next brew in. This can get a bit annoying if you're constantly plugging/unplugging it to move it around and such.

2) There's no timer. It only turns on when you flip the switch. However, this one can be easily solved if you leave it plugged into a timer-based electrical outlet (that others have probably mentioned as well). I haven't personally done this, but it should work just fine.

Overall, this coffee-maker brews great coffee, and just enough for one person. The mug has a great feel to it, is easy to handle, and seems sturdy enough to withstand a few falls. The coffee inside also seems to stay well insulated for at least an hour or so. For the price I paid (~$20) this was a very good investment! 5/5 stars.

This is a terrific product. Anyone who was having problems probably was not following the instructions. I've used it 30 times and each time it's been perfect. Enjoy

If this was taller you could use most any cup with it. Makes a great cup of coffee or hot water to go.

Since my husband does not drink coffee, I wanted a coffeemaker that would
allow me to make just a single cup for myself. Now I can do that and with my insulated mug I can take it with me to the den without worrying about spilling coffee. Just what I was looking for. It is a great value.

This is our second "Brew 'n go". We felt we needed a new one to go with our remolded condo.
The older first "Brew 'n go" Has been relegated to our second condo for the use of our quests. It is just a minuet and a few seconds to that first cup of coffee. A rinse out of the grounds basket in running water in the sink and your out the door for the day. Could anything be simpler or greater?
