Disappointing
on September 24, 2022
Posted by: JMFMAMS

The description says it can be used with pods. Manufacturers of coffee capsules (coffee in a small plastic cup with a foil lid) call them pods. This coffee maker uses soft pods, which are like tea bags. That is not explained nor pictured in the description. I bought something that I cannot use in the way I intended.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

B&D Single Serve leaves a bitter taste in mouth
on September 3, 2023
Posted by: Wellbell
from Quebec, Canada
Even after cleaning twice with vinegar and twice with clear water the plastic smell is still there. The mug temperature on the OUTSIDE was 45c so be careful when you pick it up. After the first try I discovered I needed twice the amount of coffee grounds to get the same taste as a plain pour over. Also, the acrid, plastic taste is still very noticeable in the coffee. I hope this will stop.

Filter needs work
on November 6, 2023
Posted by: LaSha2023
from Texas
I bought this product thinking it would save time in the morning. I also have another Black and Decker product that I am happy with. However, this coffee maker takes the same amount of time as my drip pour. I think I paid too much for something that does the same thing. Actually, my drip pour is probably better because the regular filter doesn’t allow coffee grounds to pass through and this reusable filter does. The mesh is not very strong and will probably tear after some washings. Two good things are the cup which keeps the coffee warm and the temperature control is not bad.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Didn't last long.

Had mine for about 2-1/2 years. All of a sudden, it's just overflowing every time I use it. Doesn't matter how much or how little coffee I put in the filter, it overflows and makes a mess. Yes, I have cleaned it and cleaned it and descaled it. Cleaned the basket and the filter till they shone. But it still does it. If I use a paper filter, it's a little better, Thought I would get more time out of it than this. It's a great little machine. But something is wrong.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not Even Close to the old Brew N'Go
on October 17, 2025
Posted by: A Coffee Lover
from Venice, Florida
For probably the past 20 yrs. I've used the B & D Brew N'Go coffee maker and obviously LOVED it. Fearing that the one I'm using was about to give up, I ordered this single serve maker expecting the same great cup of coffee. Boy, was I ever disappointed. The water runs through it so quickly that you basically end up drinking hot water with a whiff of coffee and everything I've tried to 'slow it down' has been to no avail. Can't return it and won't use and can't find the old Brew N'Go anywhere....why did they have to mess with a good thing!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
