LOVE,LOVE,LOVE IT!!!
I have just ordered my 4th Brew'n go! My 1st is probably 5 years old and going strong. I have one for home, one for my mountain cabin, one for my daughter and just ordered a back-up in case my 1st one crokes! I use #2 paper filters just because it keeps me from having to rinse out grounds. Makes a great mug of coffee to grab and run out the door with every morning and it is perfect for a one person household. I even use it often with guest because it brews so fast I can make 2 regular cups of coffee and then reload for a second round. Love it!

Great product!
I researched a lot of products of this type before deciding to purchase this product. It doesn't require expensive pods or filters, you can grind your favorite beans and pour them right in or use your regular morning blend straight from the grocery store. The travel mug is the perfect size and the stainless steel keeps your coffee at a great temperature even until the last drop. For the price, this a great value. I have used mine every day since it arrived. It took a couple of tries to get the perfect amount of coffee for the size of the cup, but once I figured it out, it has been great. One reviewer mentioned the sturdiness of the mug. The handle must have been what he or she was talking about. I wouldn't want to be rough with the handle, but with normal everyday wear, I think it will still hold up to the usage. Great product - perfect price!

Nice and adequate
If you're making coffee just for one and don't want to mess with a 12 cup pot and the clean up thereafter, this Black & Decker is a pretty good choice. You do need to stick to the recommended 2 1/2 tablespoons of grind. Otherwise, it just clobbs together and you don't get a full mug of coffee. Clean up is mostly a cinch. The netting on the filter is sturdy for now. I do worry about accidently punching through it one day when I'm not paying attention and scrub too aggressively. (Yes, it will survive the dishwasher fine too. But if you use it everyday like I do, you just end up hand washing.) My only real complaint is that it's a little awkward to clean the inside of the unit itself once you take the basket and filter out. There's the 2nd basket which is attached to the unit and grinds sometimes overrun it and the inside of the lid. But you obviously can't dunk the whole unit under running water b/c it still has electrical components within the base.
Overall, however, I'm pretty happy with the coffee maker. Takes up less space on the counter and makes just the right amount of coffee during the week.
