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!

[ReBeL]

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.......

R :D

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

[h00ch]

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.

[slothy@cutey]

:razz: 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").

[spidermoore]

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

not in a landfield!

[x21hx]

thanks OP for the heads up..picked up 1 just now...last one on shelf...not a huge coffee drinker..but will drink on those long nights..

Thanks again

[milhaus]

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? :confused:

[riskit]

how about any stores in the mtl with confirmed stock

[Xon]

I can vouch for the (original?) white version that didn't include a mug that I picked up at CT ~2001... great lil coffee maker and a stainless steel mug is a nice bonus.

[brunes]

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

I had one of these for a few years before I got my pod brewer. It should be noted that the mug is, indeed, an unusual size - it is a hair shorter than most travel mugs, but a bit wider.

I lost the original travel mug that came with it, and was *never again* able to find a travel mug that fit under it.

Of course your standard cermaic mug works fine. But if you are the kind who takes their coffee and goes, be careful with the one that comes with it, or you will need to manually transfer it to another mug from a ceramic one every morning if it breaks.

STC - NONE
Richmond Hill - NONE

[JimG]

If people are still interested in this, there's a whole bunch at the Square One Walmart in Mississauga for $9.88. Picked one up today and it works great.

[pargirl]

Thanks Jim - Will pick one up today!

[careh]

2 left at Wal-mart St. Vital Centre in Winnipeg.

Thanks op - got one for the grandmother.

[monkey_crap]

The Walmart in north Oshawa is slod out. The date on the shelf tag was in November some time so it looks like it has been this price for awhile.

Assuming it can be wash in the dishwasher (and if you do use dish washer), no extra water is wasted.

The paper filter and coffee ground should be dumped into green bin. I have done for over 5 years.

I heard paper filters themselves should be thrown out in the garbage, not in a green bin (see earlier post in this thread). I can't recall where I read that, but the thrust of it was that it's the coffee grounds that are healthy for the environment. The paper can leach chemicals into compost... soil.. and eventually water table polluting the ground.

Green bin now takes tissue paper and other soiled paper product such as diaper. They don't just compost the stuff in green bin without seperation. At least, the coffee filter is mentioned to be dumped in green bin in the instruction of our office green bin.

[Headhunter]

Any left at the Agincourt or Markville Mall locations? I'll hit one of them tonight... :)

Interesting. I guess I stand corrected. I guess they found a way to recycle 'em without polluting. Good stuff.

[robinto]

3 left on the top shelf at HWY7/McCowan.

[BinaryJay]

I had one of the old models that was years old and kicked around for quite a while. For a single person it's a good utilitarian device, doesn't look too spiffy in your stainless kitchen, though.

[firestorm996]

Got this same coffee maker but the "Duo" version (2 mugs). Been using it daily for about 2 years and it's a sweetheart of a machine.

[Defiant]

Grabbed the last one at Warden & Eglinton. Thanks OP, just what I needed.

[jazzyc4t]

There are a ton at the Markville Mall location, I just picked one up last night.

[Snoopygis]

Actually, I was just there and they had two left. I picked one up, so as of 12:30pm today, they only have 1 left. Better hurry.

[slothy@cutey]

I think I'm gonna pick-up a few of these for gifts!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:


Thanks for all the inventory updates!

[SaraLee]

Picked one up today at the Kitchener location. Does anyone know how fine I have to grind the coffee to use with the permanent filter?

[Kamloops]

Got one tonight in Kamloops, they had about 6 or 7 of them on the shelf in the coffee make area. It will be great for my office, save me some money from not stopping at starbucks every am!~

[robskot]

If anyone sees any in Calgary, please let me know...or grab me one!!!
I know there ARE NOT any at Northland Mall.

[mr_saturn]

I saw a bunch in the South Trail Walmart, Calgary. Picked one up after I returned a B&D pod machine that was just terrible. Got this solid drip machine and an extra $60 out of the deal. This was right after Christmas, but judging by the amount they had it'd be a good place to keep an eye on.

[robskot]

Crap...I live in Hamptons! Long way...but thanks.

[Kamloops]

Anybody know what is the best grind to use in these?

[helluva_pack]

Didn't see anyone mention this, but is the _inside_ of the mug stainless steel as well, or plastic? Some are only stainless steel on the outside.

Thanks.

[Kamloops]

Plastic on the inside.

[fakishan]

is heating water in plastic safe? i'v been holding off buying an electric kettle for that reason....

I saw one of these things in Walmart and the build quality was bad. Trust me, for $9 you're getting your money's worth. One thing that caught my eye was the flimsy holder on the cup. That holder was more flaccid than a jimmy after watching a fat chick flick.

[sammytheone]

Burlington Walmart has one left on the shelf......best one cup coffeemaker at any price

[north77]

I find that the travel mug holds enough for 2 regular mugs of coffee (plus milk/cream). Nice coffee maker for the price.

Tough to trust your judgement when you haven't actually tried the product.

The handle does flex a bit, but it's more than enough to support a cup of coffee. It won't break unless you really bend it, or have an unfortunate accident. I suppose you think ceramic mugs suck too, since it's probably easier to break one of those.

Good point!

(And no B&D Brew 'n Go bashing will be tolerated on MY thread!! ha haha!!!)

:D :D :D

[slothy@cutey]

There's definitely cause for concern judging from the full text of linked article. While nothing definitive has been proven, I think the jury is still out on this one. Interesting.... (thanks for that link!)

If anyone is still looking for this I picked up one at the Newmarket, ON walmart. There is about 4 -5 left.

[slothy@cutey]

Still a couple left in Oakville Walmart.

[slothy@cutey]

bump... cause it's still SUCH a good deal... (as I'm sipping coffee from my brew n'go mug) :)

[mastermc]

How did everyone get the plastic taste out of the mug? When I make coffee it tastes like plastic!

:confused:

[JimG]

Last I checked, the price was raised to $18

Try cleaning everything....Mine works great! its very fast and easy to clean. I normally use a coffee mug instead of the silver mug that comes with it

[airodus]

I use to have one of these at work. Probably used a dozen times a day for at least a year (was still going strong after i left). Great machine. Also people love the one cup makers because it let's them use whatever grind and whatever strength they want. And the inefficiency of the one cup maker leads to more coffee room talk. :D

[robskot]

Back up to Reg. price for quite a while now.
