If I had only known about this thing sooner August 24, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful

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

Yes, it is the right size, and yes it looks nice on my counter-top , 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 a wet mess. The older version was much easier to fill without splashing over. It needs a re-design!

My husband tries to carefully fill it, but because of the angle or something, it just doesn't go in right. He loses a lot, then tries to add a bit more, guessing how much, always making it overflow. He loved the older version and dislikes this one, asking, "how could they mess up the design so badly?"

Good product... great price August 8, 2008

This little maker brews a decent cup of coffee quickly. You won't have any problems with it if you follow the instructions and not add too much water or coffee grounds. If you prefer your coffee very strong, and you add a lot of grounds, you will have a mess. My wife likes her brew kinda weak, so it works for us. When I want it a little stronger, I use a darker roast.

Perfect for using less counter space and not wasting extra coffee. I chose this maker over the others that brew two cups at once. I just use a second mug and brew two cups with this one, or brew and pour into a second mug and brew again.

If you're a professional coffee drinker, this is not for you. But if you just want a decent cup quickly, you will be satisfied with this unit particularly for the price.

this is working well August 3, 2008
I bought this about one month ago. I works well. It works quickly, and the coffee tastes fine. Good quality for the price.
