Cuisinart two to go - TTG-500

Cuisinart is known for its high-end home appliances. Be it toasters, blenders or coffee makers, you can be sure that

Cuisinart makes it and it will not be cheap (one of the few downfalls of their brands).

They have been working on improving all of their lines of products and creating new ones for their broad customer base.

Cuisinart TTG 500 Two to Go Pros

Knowing that the world is a fast paced one and that everyone is on the go and do not have time to brew pots of coffee or stop to pick something up.

Even saving a few seconds here and there makes for a great benefit. Cuisinart realized the need for a coffee maker for the consumer on the go and this is their answer.

The Cuisinart TTG-500 Two-To-Go Coffee Maker is the answer to those consumers who want their coffee hot and ready to go.

The coffee maker brews directly into one or two brushed stainless steel 14-ounce travel mugs.

The Cuisinart Two To Go Coffee Maker comes with the following features:

• Brews through lids into 14-ounce travel mugs


• Stainless-steel mugs with rubber,


• Shuts off after brewing for added safety


• Dishwasher-safe mugs and lids with two paper filters that are disposable


• Measures 13 by 5-1/4 by 8-1/2 inches; 3-year limited warranty

So that means do not back over it with your car – it will not be covered.

The mugs are dishwasher safe (as are the lids) which means no carafe to worry about breaking during a rinse cycle or heavy washing.

Cuisinart finally brought us something affordable at around $50.00 (but can be found for as little as $30.00) but do not start frothing at the mouth just yet.

The cost is cheaper because the construction of the unit is not up to the usual standards of Cuisinart but that is not necessarily a bad thing.

Cuisinart TTG 500 Two to Go Cons

With the mugs, you can just brew and go but the lids are not the greatest and the cups can overflow if you use too much water.The unit is designed so that you can select between one mug or two.

Unfortunately, you are still stuck with those old-fashioned filters to clean up after brewing. It is an added cost that you really do not need so take that into consideration before purchasing this unit

Two-To-Go Coffee Maker by Cuisinart has an auto off function so that once it is done brewing it will automatically turn itself off.

The mugs are stainless steel but lined with plastic and have rubber on the bottom.

The rubber prevents slipping in cup holders. Being primarily plastic you are more apt to having that metallic taste in your coffee.

Final Thought

Cuisinart should stick with the high-end products. Whenever they release something for the lower-cost market, it never turns out all that great.

They are perfectionists cutting corners they really do not and it shows.
