I bought this coffeemaker for home about 2 months ago and I love it! It is extremely convenient to be able to quickly brew coffee for just one person. The best features of this unit are:

1. It has a built in, "permanent" filter which is a HUGE plus. No more running out of filters, EVER.

2. It is fast. In just a couple minutes I can go from sleep to sipping coffee.

3. It brews the coffee right into the travel mug. The unit I bought included an extra mug which is also a great convenience.

4. It is inexpensive!

The only downside I can see is that I would have made the travel mugs a bit larger, but that is not a serious problem. I would buy this coffeemaker again without hesitation.

Great Coffee With No Fuss, July 18, 2002

I read the reviews before ordering this personal coffee maker, and since some people had ‘overflow problems’ and some talked about coffee not being quite hot enough, I almost didn’t get it.

Glad I went ahead. First, I put a small tray under the coffee maker in case of an overflow…I also always use a No. 1 size Mellita Filter in the basket, which makes it easier to clean and may help with the overflow problem, since I have never had that happen.

I use Folger’s Classic Roast and use one and a half scoops with a regular size coffee scooper..I fill the cup within about 1/2" of the top and pour it in…put the cup in place, click the switch and ……perfectly hot, full bodied coffee every time with no problems at all so far…have used it about 20 times.

It makes a great large cup of coffee and the mug has a very comfortable feel to it. This coffee maker comes in handy when you don’t want to mess with a full pot and it is very fast. I couldn’t be more pleased – well worth the price!

Marriage saver, January 5, 2002

This nifty little coffeemaker is difficult to find in stores, so I was glad to see it at Amazon. It saved my marriage because my spouse doesn’t drink coffee (hates the stuff) and there’s no pot to clean. Even though it comes with a huge mug, the coffee tastes best when you use it with a normal china mug or cup, and with beans that are ground fine. I’m on my second one — it lasts about four to five years in daily use. Not bad for the money. I won’t drink coffee that’s been sitting for more than five minutes, so the Brew ‘n Go is perfect. If you’re the only Joe drinker in the house, it’s an absolute must!
