Score: 62/100Rankings
The Black+Decker CM618 is an ultra-compact single-serve coffeemaker that brews directly into an included 16-oz travel mug, offering a reusable filter and one-touch operation. Its trade-offs include a small 5-oz cup size and limited water capacity, making it best suited for solo drinkers with tight counter space.
The Mixpresso Personal Single-Serve Coffee Maker combines a compact drip brewer with a built-in 14-oz travel mug and reusable filter for on-the-go convenience. Its limitations are a modest water-tank size and average coffee flavor, ideal for travelers and dorm dwellers who prioritize portability.

Professional reviewers and editors commend the CM618 for its ultra-compact size, simple one-touch operation, and cost-saving reusable filter, positioning it as an ideal minimalist coffee solution. However, they also note its limited 5-oz brew capacity and absence of programmable or warming features place it behind more feature-rich competitors.
Everyday users praise the machine for taking up almost no counter space, brewing directly into the included travel mug, and offering flexibility with grounds or pods. Common criticisms focus on the small cup size, the travel mug's durability and heat retention, and occasional leaks or short lifespan of the unit.
