We read the best review of the Black & Decker Brew 'N Go at Consumer Reports, which subjects it to rigorous testing. More than 475 owner reviews at Amazon.com create a critical mass worthy of a close look. We also read impressively thorough user reviews at CoffeeGeek.com.
Reviews say the Black & Decker Brew 'N Go is the best compact, inexpensive single-serve coffee maker that dispenses coffee into an included stainless steel mug. Its one-serving yield of 15.5 ounces is larger than that of most one-cup coffee makers. Many of those one-cuppers employ prepackaged "pods" of coffee that can cost between 25 and 50 cents each, while the Black & Decker Brew 'N Go uses regular grounds. Owners also like its price, reusable filter and programmable timer. It's also available with a thermal mug as the DCM18 (*est. $20). If you prefer pod-style coffee makers, the Senseo HD7810 (*est. $70) gets the best reviews among mid-priced, pod-style coffee machines.
