At my house, I would more often than not make java on the weekends (the coffee at work is fine) and would pour directly into an insulated mug using the Brew `N Go. Thus the idea of brewing right into the to go mug was attractive. The unit I purchased included an additional mug which is also a great convenience.
Some Pros:
• It is inexpensive!
• Brews one cup (I'm the only one who drinks it).
• Speedy, about 2 minutes to brew and 5 to finish dripping. . It is fast. In just a couple minutes I can go from sleep to sipping coffee
• Easily cleaned. I have rinsed the entire unit several times.
• No trash. It has a built in, "permanent" filter which is a HUGE plus. No more running out of filters, EVER.
• Filter cleans easily. Just pat out the coffee in the trash and rinse.
• Can be used with a timer. See below for explanation.
• Takes up very little space.
• Can be used with other cups. As long as you don't overflow the reservoir and your cup will fit under it, the cup will work.
There are a couple of minor gripes I have with the Brew `N Go. While the handle on the mug is comfortable, the body of the mug is somewhat hot if you hold it in hand. The other gripe is that the fill line inside the reservoir is hard to read. I have a Brita water pitcher so I want to pour from the pitcher direct into the reservoir, and avoid pouring into the mug first.
Some Cons:
• It is gravity fed through the filter so 5 minutes may be too long for some.
• Be sure to line up the exit spout with hole. Once you get it you will see, but if you don't you will have your java all over your counter.
• If you grind you coffee to fine, you will get coffee grinds on the inside of the coffee maker. No big deal as you can rinse the unit off easily.
Once you trigger the unit it will run until the reservoir is empty. The only way to stop it is to unplug it. But, if you plug it back in it will pick up where it left of. If you activate it with it unplugged, it will begin as soon as it is plugged in. Therefore, if you desire coffee when you wake up, all you need is a wall timer (about $5 from many sources). Set the timer to activate in the morning when you want your coffee. Prepare the machine like normal, depressing the activation button. When the timer turns on in the morning the maker will begin the Brew `N Go.
