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!

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 Review
I am not a heavy coffee drinker, but over the last few months I’ve gotten into the habit of drinking a tall coffee each morning from the store across the street from my job. To save money, I decided I should get a small personal maker for my daily cup. On the surface, this seemed like the idea coffee maker for someone like me as it brews only a single large mug straight into a nice portable mug with a spill-resistant lid. Unfortunately, it has no lived up to its image. The coffee does not come out hot at all, its barely lukewarm as the included mug is not microwave safe, it can’t be used to heat the coffee up to the proper temperature. It also is lacking any sort of “keep warm” function, turning itself off before the coffee is even done coming out. I am very disappointed in this particular maker and am returning it. I will say, though, if you don’t like your coffee hot, it does brew nicely. The included filter is very easy to clean and works quite well. I just prefer an actual hot cup of coffee.

This item is a fine product but it is made of cheap plastic. Does just what you would expect. Shipping is also very very slow. It took also two weeks to ship from a very short distance. For some wierd reason they shipped it ups to the post office then the mailman delievered it. I only live a few minutes (2-3) from the post office so this made no sense. The UPS man probably drove past my house to get to the post office.

This thing does a great job for weak coffee with no fuss. I highly recommend it. I really like the travel mug too. If the travel mug wasn’t so great this would be a 2 star review. I also like that something in the kitchen is black and decker…funny. Now for the bad bits…filling the dripper over 1/2 way with grounds results in grounds getting everywhere, including in the coffee and making clean up a chore. If you like your coffee strong at all this is not a good product for you. I gave mine away. Keeping the dripper under 1/2 way filled with grounds works great, but the coffee tastes like brown water to me.

I have been using my DCM 18 for about 3 years now and am very pleased with it. I found that the Dart Brand 16 J16 ounce foam cup works (Costco) in this coffee maker perfectly. Don’t fill the cup too full when filling the coffee maker or it will overflow. I use Folgers Coffee with the screen filter provided and get a tiny bit of grinds with my coffee which I find acceptable.
