Black & Decker - Brew 'n Go Coffee Maker - $9.95!!!

[slothy@cutey]

Don't know if there's any left. But Walmart has the Black & Decker Brew 'n Go Deluxe coffee maker with Travel Mug for half their regular price! ($9.95 reg. $18). I've seen this coffee maker in the US for $20 US. This is a really hot deal. This coffee maker has received a lot of good reviews and almost every part of it is dishwasher safe including the stainless steel travel mug (a rarity). Makes a great gift. I kept calling every Walmart to find these, finally got 2 in Burlington. Apparently more are on the way. It's so cheap, yet looks like you spent a bit of $$$ (if you're thinking x-mas gift)

bought it last week from walmart at that price. Makes coffee quickly. Has a permanent filter, so no need to buy extras. Cup included has cheap handle, which will probably break in short while. Nice deal though!

I have an off-white coloured one that's still kicking after
4 years of constant use. Can't resist picking up a back-up
at this price.

Thnx OP.......

Is this compatible with a different mug? Or am I going to have to buy a new set once the mug goes?

Any mug that fits under the overhanging part would work. There's nothing special about this mug.

[sammytheone]

You can use any mug that fits in the space. The black model is a bit taller than the white one.
I use Mellita #1 paper filters in mine. It makes better coffee and it's easier to dump the grounds. You can get them at Can Tire for $1.99/40 filters.
They are great one cup coffee makers......fast and hot.

It should be noted too that the Walmart model is the "Deluxe" model which I think includes a few extras like Auto-Shut Off, etc.

Also, the mug is apparently compatible with any other Black & Decker coffee machine model (don't know if that extends beyond single cup machines).

Can someone confirm if it's still available at Walmart at this price? (Not sure how Walmart pricing policy works since they don't officially have "sales").

This coffee maker is solid.

I've owned one for a year and have no complaints about it, or the mug. The mug is still fine after a year of use.

Like others have said, if the mug does break or go missing, any mug that will fit under the overhang will work with it.

Well worth the $10.

One question I have re paper filters vs. permanent filters.

I casually assumed that the permanent filter would be better for the environment as you are throwing out less. However, after thinking about it, paper is easily biodegradable and you save water, and water heating by not having to wash the permanent filter (although you still wash the cup).

Just my own curiousity thrown in for thought.

Good point. The only thing is the chemical composition of the "paper" filters. I hear that for those who compost, you should never through your used coffee grounds into your compost bin with the paper (because of the chemicals in the paper). If they're not good enough for soil composition, one wonders what actually leaches into our coffees! I think permanent filters are gold-leafed which is a pure element and are "safer" to use. I could be wrong, but that's my $0.02

Any stores in the GTA with confirmed stock (or no stock)??

[lovefreefood]

Nice find. That is a pretty hot price. Could use one at work. Then I don't need to keep running to the kitchen. Increase in productivity?
