Advantages

The good thing about the Brew ‘n Go Personal - DCM18S is its capability of heating water for other purposes such as instant noodles, cereals, oat meals, or hot chocolate. The coffee brews directly into a 15-ounce stainless steel mug with a cool holder for an easy grip.

Consumers also like the idea of easy clean-ups and maintenance, since the parts are dishwasher-friendly. These include the mug, mug lid, filter, and filter basket. The permanent filter also saves up on paper filter expense.

According to its owners and users, the model is also less expensive compared to other coffeemakers. Plus, it may last a long time. Because of its small size, the Brew ‘n Go Personal - DCM18S can easily fit in a cubicle or small spaces while still providing your daily caffeine fix.

This coffeemaker model is perfect for students or households with only few coffee drinkers. Some consumers have claimed that the model could last up to five years even with daily use, guaranteeing durability for the long run.

Disadvantages

Consumers have complained that the reusable filter does not produce satisfactory results as additional dregs can still pass through the coffee. The interior of the travel mug is made of plastic.

Also, the Brew ‘n Go Personal - DCM18S is currently hard to find in most local stores, although you can easily purchase it online. Others have also claimed that it has only lasted six months.

long lasting NEW
by: Anonymous

My Brew and Go is over five years old and still going strong! It is quick and easy and I'm looking for a new one so I can put this one in the trailer.

The only gripe I have with it is that I like strong coffee and if I put too many grounds in, it overflows the basket and I get grounds in my coffee.

Great 'lil sidekick
by: AJI

Easy and fast to brew a cup of coffee-- even if you're still half asleep. One-button operation. Get the permanent filter. Wish it could take a water filter.

Malfunctioning P.O.S.
by: Anonymous

Have had multiple machines, each one screws up. Finally just can't stand the run-around of trying to exchange it anymore and am going to try and just get a refund. We'll see how that goes...
