Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Black & Decker DCM18 Brew 'N Go Coffeemaker
Customer Review: Long lasting--six years and counting
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had this coffeemaker for over 6 years and it is still working as well as it did when I first got it.
It's fast-brewing (less than 5 minutes) and the size is great since I am the only one at home drinking coffee. Another good feature is the dishwasher-safe filter, which saves from having to buy paper ones.
I also would like to point out its auto-off feature, which has prevented me from burning up the motor when, in early morning sleepiness, I have forgotten to put water in the maker.
It's a great price, very sturdy--I highly recommend it.
Customer Review: Fix for problems
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had two of these units for about 10 years; one for home and one for the office. One of them is a ***** all the time and the other could be a * for the reasons mentioned by the unhappy campers. The problem of overflow of the filter and grounds everywhere was caused by the drain nipple of the Filter Basket not resting properly in the hole provided for it in the body. If it misses that hole it will pass water either slowly or not at all. That can also lead to plugging the hole in the filter basket nipple.Some care needs to be taken on the * to make it a *****.Customer Review: Money Saver
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had two of these over the past nine or so years. The first I bought new, and the second from an auction. I originally bought it for home use then decided to use it at work when co-workers kept drinking coffee but never brought any coffee grounds to work. Now I make myself one cup of coffee at a time.
One draw back is the reusable filter. My coffee grounds always "bloomed" too much so I stopped using it and have been using the paper filters for years. After the coffee is done I discard the coffee grounds, filter and all to the compost bin.
Customer Review: Excellent single serve coffee maker
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent single cup coffee maker. I had one for about 7 years before it finally died, and decided to try another brand for a replacement because it was cheaper. I was not happy with the other brand, so I finally bought another Black and Decker and am very happy I did. It has a permanent filer, although I use paper filters for cleaning convenience, and comes with a travel mug. Mostly I use coffee pods though as they are the easiest, although the coffee can be a little weak with the pods. All in all, I would recommend this produce.Customer Review: Good Buy
Summary: 5 Stars
Probably best coffeemaker you will find for under twenty dollars.
Pros
- Comes with a sturdy mug with a lid
- Reusable filter which will save you money in the long run
- easy to use
- Can't beat the price
Cons
- Takes about 5 mins to fill a mug
- coffee grounds make a mess inside the maker, so it needs to be cleared often
- the water reservoir is small making it hard to pour water into it
I highly recommend this for anyone wanting a cheap but realiable coffee maker.
