 It Works Great For Me October 30, 2003

I've seen other reviewers complaints about this coffee maker, but I've used it for years & haven't had any problems with it. It's easy to use, compact, & works quickly. My wife & I both drink coffee, but not the same type, so it doesn't make sense for us to use a 2+ cup coffee maker since we'd have to make two separate portions anyway. So we each have our own B&D, & use them simultaneously. The coffee comes out fine; I use Starbucks Verona (which my wife says tastes like burnt coffee from the bottom of a pot anyway), & she uses a decaff chocolate blueberry flavor. The only difficulty (& it's not a fault of the B&D) is that the #1 filters are hard to find, even on the internet, but this coffee maker comes with a permanent, dishwasher safe filter, so you really don't have to use paper filters if you don't want to. I recommend this product for anyone who wants a quick cup of coffee & doesn't need more than one cup at a time.

I used to drink no-name instant coffee at home, and generic brewed coffee at work from the community pot.
Got a bag o' ground coffee (S*******s Gold Coast) at Christmas, and I needed to get a coffee maker for it. Not sure I wanted to invest a lot in this new fangled technology, so I opted for this inexpensive coffee-maker. I actually wanted the stainless cup, but it was not in stock at the time, so I went with the available plastic version.
I guessed at the correct amount of coffee grounds, and luckily made what I call a perfect cup of coffee. And that Gold Coast is the best variety (strong) I've tried so far. The Sumatra blend from the big "A" supermarket chain is very similar for a few bucks less, however.
The pot makes almost 16 ounces, so I pour about half into a ceramic cup, add some half-and-half, and drink from that. Perhaps that is why I don't notice any plastic taste some others have commented on. I also use a filter, which will reduce the amount of grounds in your cup (though pouring it into the other cup helps as well).
It only takes a few minutes to brew, makes loud burbley-steamy sighing sounds when it nears completion, and turns itself off.
I find I drink more coffee at home after getting this machine. I'll get another when this one dies.
(As of 12/28/06...I finally noticed I threw out the plastic filter somewhere along the line a few months back :-) I could order a new one I guess, but the paper filters work fine. Oh, and I'm grinding (actually "milling") my own as of this XMas...)

Personally, I haven't had any problems with the unit and enjoy its ease and convenience. Making sure to add the proper amount of coffee and keeping the permanent filter clean after each use, which is easily done, should prevent any problems with the grounds floating out of the filter into the water container. No measuring cup is necessary as using the coffee mug itself to fill the water chamber works just fine. Depending upon the hardness of ones water, following the occasional cleaning of the unit with white vinegar should keep steam to a minimum and the brewer in good shape for years to come. As for the difficulty in locating #1 paper-cone filters in lieu of the permanent mesh filter than comes with the unit, I too am unable to find any locally but noticed that they can be ordered on-line through Melitta.com for less than $2.00 for a package of 40.

I love this coffeemaker. So often I want a cup of coffee during the day and I don't want to waste coffee. This little pot is perfect -- makes a single cup in 2 minutes or less. It is quick, easy, no waste, and the coffee is good and hot. I would highly recommend this product.

I have had my current Brew 'n Go for 5 years. I don't know what others are complaining about because it makes a perfectly HOT, adequately strong cup of coffee EVERY TIME. On rare occasions when my wife made my coffee and put too much coffee in the filter, it overflowed slightly into the cup but it wasn't the fault of the product. I use a ladle, such as the ones supplied in many coffee cans. Put 2 ladles in and keep your basket and holder clean. Run a cup full of vinegar through once a month to clean it and you'll never have a problem. I suppose like any product, there may be the odd lemon out there waiting to be taken off some retailer's shelf but this is the second one of these coffeemakers I've had in the past 10 yrs and I've had no problems.
