Product Description
Wouldn't this make a great gift for a student, or a commuter? The machine brews right into the thermal travel mug and then shuts itself off, so your favorite coffee lover can simply grab and go!
Amazon.com Review
Great for commuters, office professionals, and one-coffee-drinker households, this personal coffeemaker brews 15 ounces of coffee directly into a stainless-steel travel mug. The mug has a rubber handle for a safe grip and a lid to keep coffee hot. It's tapered to a 2-1/2-inch-diameter bottom, so it fits most vehicle cup holders. The coffeemaker itself is designed for an on-the-go coffee drinker. It has a permanent filter--no messy disposable paper filters required--and shuts off automatically after brewing. The mug, filter, filter basket, and mug lid are dishwasher-safe, and the coffeemaker can also be used to heat water for tea, hot chocolate, and instant foods like oatmeal and soup. Made of gleaming black plastic, it measures 9-3/4 inches high, 7 inches wide, and 6 inches deep, and carries a one-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

 So so. August 26, 2008

Hot water is running fast. Makes ground coffee tasteless. I use starbucks ground coffee. With this coffee maker, I need more ground coffee to make same amount of coffee.
 Very handy! August 25, 2008
Diane B. McVey (Beatrice, NE)
I bought this for my husband, who fixes coffee for his one hour commute to work. This coffee maker is great, BECAUSE, you don't have to use the pods of coffee; you grind and use your own coffee. The unit works great, and it's so handy to have! I don't drink coffee, so there's no need for a whole pot every morning. Besides, he leaves the house REALLY early! I believe you will like this product...we had the Senseo a while back, and he hated it. We ended up returning it to the store. Try this one!

First, I must start off by saying that I absolutely love this thing. It produces a hot cup of coffee in just a couple of minutes. I drink one cup of coffee a day at work so this is the first thing I use when I get to the office in the morning. After I'm done making my coffee, I unplug it and store it in my overhead bin and nobody even knows it's there (I don't know if it's against policy to have something like this where I work, so rather than raise suspicions, out of sight-out of mind).
Onto my experiences with the brew n' go.
5/5: The end result: THE COFFEE!
This thing makes a great cup of coffee. So far I've used a medium grind on the coffee beans and I can't think of anything bad to say about the flavor. I get a great cup of coffee every time!
4/5 Stars: The Built In Filter
First, I don't even use the built in filter any more. The main reason I wanted this coffee maker is because I wanted a quick cup of coffee with the least amount of cleanup as possible. Using the built in filter worked great the first couple of times, but there's no sink near my desk. So I would have to carry a dirty plastic filter halfway across my building to clean it out. If you intend to use the provided filter, it does work great. However, you will notice a bit of oil from the coffee beans floating on top of your coffee after it's brewed. If this isn't your thing, you may want to consider what I do.
As I said, I don't use the built in filter. I've purchased very small filters from Publix that are a little too big (around) but pushing them in there has worked fine for me so far. This works out great. There are two advantages for me: 1. After the coffee is done brewing, I can just pull that filter out and throw it in the garbage, and then I can wipe out the coffee maker with a paper towel. Quick and easy. 2. You won't see near as much of that oil floating on top of your coffee in your cup if you use a paper filter.
5/5 Stars: Cleanup
What can I say here other than the fact that this thing is a breeze to clean. Whether you use the built in filter or buy small filters from your gorcery store, you'll find that this thing is about as painless as can be when it comes to cleanup.
Final Thoughts:
I hope by this point you can tell that I love this thing. There are a couple of things I would like to point out.
- It's not the quietest coffee maker I've ever heard, but it doesn't stay on all that long either
- I've heard that if you try to put too much coffee into the filter, it may overflow and you'll have a big mess on your hands - so people who like super strong coffee, this may not be your thing (unless you can find the perfectly strong coffee grind that two tablespoons will work)
I absolutely love this thing. I get a good cup of coffee every morning that takes minimal time to make, and the cleanup is a breeze.
makes a water mess August 18, 2008
Plano Gal (Plano, Texas)
Yes, it is the right size, and yes it looks nice on my counter-top (I got it to replace a white stained one that we had), but boy, my husband can not keep from splashing water all over my counter. I was hoping he would adapt to it, but he has not, and everyday I wake up to wet mess. The older version was much easier to fill without splashing over. It needs a re-design!

This coffee maker is great! It is super fast and perfect for anyone who only needs just one cup at a time.
