Product Description
How ingenious is this? No need to take the time to pour coffee into your travel mug anymore, this machine brews right into one or two stainless steel mugs. Brew, grab, and go. It even turns itself off after brewing is complete.

Perfect for preparing coffee at home before dashing out the door, this coffeemaker brews through the lids directly into either one or both of the 14-ounce travel mugs accompanying the machine. The stainless-steel mugs have rubber, nonslip grips, fit most vehicle cup holders, and are 6-3/4 inches high, with 2-5/8-inch-diameter rubber bottoms. Lids keep coffee hot in the mugs and are deeply indented and sloped toward the drink hole to contain spills. Both mugs and their lids are dishwasher-safe. The coffeemaker uses disposable paper filters (two included), automatically shuts off after the brewing process, and can also be used to heat water for tea, hot chocolate, and instant foods like oatmeal and soup. Made of gleaming black plastic, the coffeemaker measures 13 inches high, 5-1/4 inches wide, and 8-1/2 inches deep, and carries a three-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

Comment: The only reason I didn't give this a five-star review, is that the coffee carrafs do not retain their heat for more than about an hour. I had a similar machine before made by Melita. After 6 years of serve daily service, it died. I guess I was spoiled. I expected the Melita's performance of 3 hours of warmth. Oh well...

Summary: THE best for its purpose 2010-08-05
Comment: I owned its predessesor and was yearning to find this, but it had changed brand names so it took forever to find it again. It's quick, easy to clean and set up again in a jiffy. Takes a few tries before you determine how much coffee to add because the cups are huge.
The only flaw: the handle on the coffee ground basket is really flimsy. Don't be surprised if yours breaks off before long. But with a 3-year warranty, I guess they'd just send a replacement basket!
In short: well worth the convenience, quick to use and clean.

Summary: Cuisinart's step backward 2010-08-05
Comment: I have used a Cuisinart TTG-500 Two-to-Go for years. I was so pleased with it's performance I bought a new one as a replacement. However, the new replacement now has a different type of on-off switch that is difficult to turn on. Once it is turned on it can not be tured off with the on-off switch before it goes through it's entire cycel and turns itself off. Even unplugging the machine will not reset the switch to the off position. When the machine is plugged in again it will be on, not off, even if it is days later, probably weeks or even years.
Also my older model could be re-loaded and more coffee made immediately after it automatically shuts off. The new machine can only be used again after it has cooled for a long period of time. There is no way to get the machine to turn on until this cooling off period time has elapsed. And that time is not known. From my experience it may be several hours.
Other than these inconvenient irritants the new version makes an excellent cup of coffe just like the original.
