Product Description
Wouldn't this make a great gift for a student, or a commuter? The machine brews right into the thermal travel mug and then shuts itself off, so your favorite coffee lover can simply grab and go!
Amazon.com Review
Great for commuters, office professionals, and one-coffee-drinker households, this personal coffeemaker brews 15 ounces of coffee directly into a stainless-steel travel mug. The mug has a rubber handle for a safe grip and a lid to keep coffee hot. It's tapered to a 2-1/2-inch-diameter bottom, so it fits most vehicle cup holders. The coffeemaker itself is designed for an on-the-go coffee drinker. It has a permanent filter--no messy disposable paper filters required--and shuts off automatically after brewing. The mug, filter, filter basket, and mug lid are dishwasher-safe, and the coffeemaker can also be used to heat water for tea, hot chocolate, and instant foods like oatmeal and soup. Made of gleaming black plastic, it measures 9-3/4 inches high, 7 inches wide, and 6 inches deep, and carries a one-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

Best Value In A Personal Coffeemaker March 15, 2010
Peter V. Giansante (Far Point Station)
The Black & Decker DCM18S makes a great cup of coffee, fast. Here are some observations after more than a month of constant daily usage.
The permanent filter is a great idea, but I use a very fine grind on my coffee, and the filter's mesh doesn't exclude the fine particulates. I use a Melitta #1 paper filter for extra filtration, but that's just a personal preference. It's not absolutely necessary.
The water fill is on the left side of the unit; you'll be pouring with your left hand. Fortunately, the cup's rim is well designed, and it's easy to pour without spilling, even if you're not a left-hander. The plastic tab for the filter basket protrudes into the pour space. It's best to pour in the water with the basket removed.
The unit drools. Condensate from the last brewing stays in the top, and when you flip the hinged lid open for the next fill, the condensate runs down the lid, then down the back of the unit and onto the counter top, necessitating a wipe-up. The power cord is only 24" long; you might need to unplug it if you need to move the unit for cleanup.
The supplied mug is poorly insulated. It has a comfortable handle, so it's not a problem to hold it, but it doesn't keep the coffee hot. Keeping the lid on helps. The mug is narrow at the bottom, evidently so it will fit in car cupholders. But that gives it a high center of gravity. It's easy to knock the cup over--another good reason to keep the lid on.
The mug does have a non-skid rubber pad on the bottom--a nice touch. No complaints about the size of the mug. It holds 16 ounces. Use it to fill the reservoir, and you'll get the right amount every time.
The unit makes more noise than any other coffeemaker I've ever used. It's not particularly bothersome, though.
Seems like a lot of quibbles for a 5-star review, but none of the above gripes are enough to make me regret my purchase. It still makes a great cup of coffee, fast, and at a price that's hard to beat. I'd buy it again with no hesitation.

The clip thing broke inside the first month of use (2-3 times daily), but it continues to work fine without it. I find the cup to be a great size, and the lid seals well. None of the other problems others have mentioned.
Excellent product March 14, 2010
Lynn Volk (Florida, USA)
I bought this coffee maker about a month ago and I absolutely love it! It works like a charm, and I love the convenience of having the coffee brew right into a nice-sized travel mug that keeps it hot. The coffee brews quickly - it's ready in no time at all! - and it comes out nice and hot. It's a great little unit and the price is very reasonable. I'm delighted all over again each time I use it. Even though it has a permanent filter, I like to use the small basket filter because it makes clean up easier. I would definitely recommend this product and wouldn't hesitate to buy it again.
Nice little coffee maker March 13, 2010
Linda (Illinois)
If you like a fast and fresh cup of coffee then this coffee maker delivers both. It took me awhile to figure out the formula which best suits me. I don't use the filter supplied with the maker and I use regular 4 cup filters which results in a great Dunkin Donut cup of coffee. Just don't turn your back or get sidetracked or your coffee will be done and by the time you realize you started it, it will be cold. I love it!
