Black & Decker DCM18S Brew ‘n Go Personal Coffeemaker with Travel Mug
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!
Black & Decker DCM18S Brew ‘n Go Personal Coffeemaker with Travel Mug 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.
Black & Decker DCM18S Brew ‘n Go Personal Coffeemaker with Travel Mug Reviews
I purchased this 1-cup coffee maker for a friend who doesn’t have a computer and is confined to a wheelchair. He missed his morning coffee but didn’t feel he could make a whole pot and throw so much away. He was unaware that a single cup coffee maker existed. I assisted him in learning how to operate the device and he is thoroughly enjoying it. Package was shipped promptly and packed well.
I am an avid coffee drinker who enjoys a cup on my way to work in the morning. We have a large 12 cup coffee maker but my wife has recently given up coffee as we are expecting our second child. I was tired of brewing a single cup in the large coffee maker so was searching for a single cup machine that didn’t require those new POD systems.
The Black n Decker is a very basic single cup coffee machine that brews a good not great cup of coffee.
I recently purchased this item and overall I really like it-simple, convenient size, auto-turn off, no pot, good price, etc. However a helpful note for those of you considering purchasing it in regard to the mug (for the DCM18S model): the inside of it is NOT stainless steel. Only the outside is. When I bought it, I figured the mug had a stainless steel inside, but its made of plastic, like the old model (DCM18). Also the handle is flimsy. A couple suggestions here for Black and Decker!
So I’m going to try to find a stainless steel-lined mug that fits in this coffee maker. I used to have a mug that was stainless steel lined and you don’t get that a) plastic taste, or b) residual stale coffee taste that you sometimes get with plastic mugs.
