BLACK+DECKER 5-Cup Coffeemaker, Black, DCM600B

This is just basic which is what I needed. Some reviews were critical of firm switch but I like the location and it does not get bumped on by accident. Makes good coffee.

I won’t make excuses for the B&D. It lacks ability to make a truly hot pot of coffee. Perhaps it’s a design flaw. But it raises questions about how it had such good reviews as is often the case with products that fail to meet the minimum expectations. After brewing, and even if I leave it on the warmer a while after brewing. The results are the same – temp is Just above warm. I have bought many MANY coffee makers over the decades. Currently in use; (4i,e,) one 12 cup drop. One 5 cup drip 5-7 years old still works better than this. One Lrg & one small kcup. All of them are years old and all have traveled a few times for wrk or vacay.
I bought this ANZN product to replace my small 5 cup that was about 7 yrs old at best. Deapite routine cleaning n maintenance it was over due to replace. However, despite the over use, travel, and age of my old 5 cup, it still makes a better cup of coffee than the product I replaced it with – the product of this review. I gave it a try and sadly I regret that I cannot recommend this product. Dear shoppers. When it comes to this type of appliance, I suggest spending a few dollars more or buy products that allow more than 30 days to return or replace. THIS Amazon SELLER/PRODUCT DID NOT OFFER ***EXTENDED WARANTY
and I’ve often been disappointed to learn that the AMAZON WRTY SELLER
*** Very often refuses to assist until MANUFACTURER WRTY is expired. ITS OFTEN TO DISCOURAGE RETURNS OR REPAIR SERVICE REQUESTS. HOWEVER, ***The way around that – PUT PRODUCT AWAY TILL MFTR WRTY EXPIRES. Then SEEK assistance.
This might be a FLUKE. But it’s definitely A HEADACHE and may also be A WASYE OF MY MONEY. And that’s terrible at a time when price gouging is hitting consumers in every department- especially food and small appliances. I remember these little machines often on sale for $10 – not just on Black Friday. Now it’s not that low even on Black Friday. Many vendors once stood behind their products and priority was consumer satisfaction. Sadly, priorities have shifted elsewhere. I’ll update this review with any changes in results of this product purchase. For now I’m looking for the current place to buy appliances with ease and confidence in transactions. I hate writing a bad review. I don’t avoid it. It’s consumers’ duty.

Title says it all.
I got tired of the taste of my Keurig Coffee and I wanted to return to a drip coffee. I live alone and have no use for a large 12-cup Coffee Maker, so the Black & Decker 5-Cup is ideal for me. The 5-Cup Coffee Maker is a great space-saving product as its compact size barely takes up room on my counter top and can be easily tucked away.
I have had this for several months now and the coffee still comes out nice, hot and tasty. My only minor gripe is that when you try to switch it off, it shifts easily because it is so light once all the water/coffee is removed.
Pretty much 9.5/10, I would recommend this product.

STOP BUYING EXPENSIVE COFFEE POTS!!! I was tired of spending $80+ once a year on a coffee pot that would only last a year and had special screws so that you couldn’t get in and clean the water pipes inside that so easily clogged. Just think of the crap your coffee water is being filtered through before making your coffee. I’m so angry, those screws should be illegal. This coffee pot is just a simple, manual machine that would make coffee fast. Forget throwing so much money away so you can set a clock to have coffee for the morning. You can pour the water and put the grinds in the night before then simply click it on in the morning or spend one minute doing it in the morning and have your coffee faster than you can finish your morning bathroom routine. I’m angry at these companies that deliberately put those screws there to deliberately (uhum) screw you to get more money from you.

So what if you spend a few days to get your perfect coffee flavour, you generally have to do that with any pot. I did have to use a bit more coffee with this one because it pours so fast – or maybe it’s simply because it’s a 12 cup pot instead of the 10 cup I was using. I also had x3 thermos coffee pots from the more expensive machines so I simply pour the coffee into one and voila !! Hot coffee for the day without the burn.

THANK YOU ‘BLACK and DECKER’ for this cost-saving “Easy Pour, Non-Drip Carafe with Removable Filter Basket” product. I actually didn’t check the type of screws on this one, yet – I’m still too angry about them, but I hope you think about normal ones if you’re using those ‘screwy’ ones. Give the consumer a chance to drink clean water by letting us clean those pipes inside. I guarantee you’ll increase sales on any of your coffee pots if you advertise that ability to always drink clean water with ‘Black and Decker’ products!

Es un excelente producto, de materiales y calidad inmejorables, el tamaño es algo pequeño pero gracias a eso es más cómoda y práctica al usarla

This five cup coffee maker works just fine , it’s easy to clean , durable, and makes a fine cup of coffee

This is a good coffee maker at a reasonable price. Here are the PROS and CONS that I found.
PROS: 1. Brews HOT coffee that tastes great. 2. Great price. 3. Small and compact.
CONS: 1. No Auto Shut-Off. ‘That’s an important safety one.’ You may forget to shut it off and it will burn the coffee and potently start a fire. You would think that would be a safety standard, especially in California. 2. No Grab-a-Cup Auto Pause Feature. Doesn’t stop dripping coffee when you remove the carafe to pour a cup before it has finished. Coffee continues to drip until finished brewing. 3. No Removable Screen basket (permanent filter)
Other than a couple CONS to watch out for, you have a reasonable priced 5-cup coffee maker that makes tasty and hot coffee.
