What our customer's say!

"Excellent Coffee", This coffee maker works better than the Braun that we had before. Coffee is nicely hot and flavor is excellent using Kirkland Columbian. My only wish is that the outside water level indicator be easier to read.

"doesn't make a mess", I love this simple little coffee pot. I have been using this model for years primarily because it is simple and doesn't have much to go wrong with it. I became tired of pots with timers that stop working and make the pot unusable. It makes great coffee and it pours perfectly and does not dribble on the counter. It makes twelve cups of coffee in less than five minutes.

"A no nonsense brewer.", This is a brewer that's reasonably quick, makes a great pot of coffee and doesn't dribble all over the place when you pour from the first to last cup. If you want a pot without all the gizmos, this is it! Well worth the money and from a brand with a great reputation. Five stars for sure.

"Actually 3.5 Stars", This isn't an inspiring product, but it gets the job done, and it's cheap, and plug and play. However, I do strongly recommend that you use Organic Mexican Coffee, because it's good and the ground beans seem to like the filters; they just sit there and absorb the hot water trickling in from this B & D Monster. I cannot be responsible if you use some Folgers product in here. B & D might not like it, and therefore, your mouth might not like it. I once had some really bad coffee from a unit like this one. I bought it years ago. It was a faithful friend, until it died. But, let me tell you this, this machine does not like bad coffee. I am not saying that you have to spend a fortune on coffee, just don't use the most generic stuff known to man. As I was saying, before I so rudely interrupted myself, I once had very bad coffee from a unit just like this. I was in a rush and I just happened to have some Folgers Morning Blend, or some such thing, I made it, and oh boy. The B & D Monster, which back then was a Whitie, hissed and spat and made my coffee with too much grind... Well, to be honest, I might have put a little too much coffee in the basket, but B & D has taken care of me before... This time, it just let me have it. The really embarrassing thing that day, is that I had guests, and they were so nice, didn't complain about the burnt coffee full of chunks. I remember that day vividly, the ex-wife of my former production manager at the trophy, Blane, was there, and she went into the kitchen and made a fresh pot of coffee. She's so resourceful and knows me well. She brought her own little bag or Organic Mexican Coffee, and I have never used anything else since.

"simple, basic and cheap", i dont know what people expect for 20 bucks. this coffee maker works very well at what it supposed to do, make coffee. it's also very cheap and very easy to use. in terms of durability, every one of these cheap black and decker coffee makers (that i've ever owned) work well for a few years and then one day suddenly don't work at all. it's then time to buy a new coffee maker. in short, this is a very good, simple, basic, cheap coffee maker. it will probably last at least a couple of years. it's well worth 20 bucks.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Good Basic Coffee Maker", We didn't want timers, clocks, adjustable brew strength, bells and whistles... We just wanted a good cup of coffee. We like the comfortable handle, we like the the location and size of the on/off switch that you can find in the semi-darkness when you're still mostly asleep. And we LOVE the clear markings on the carafe that takes the guesswork out of the fill level. (For this much coffee, fill to this water level.)

We have not experienced the problems mentioned in some of the other reviews. Maybe it's because I'm used previous makers, but I'm in the habit of holding the lid partway open when I pour coffee, so have not noticed the leaky-drippy factor that seems to be the focus of some of the complaints. The only problem I have had so far was not seating the basket properly, thus getting 12 cups of coffee all over my kitchen table. It only happened once because we now take an extra second to make sure the basket and carafe are properly in place.

As far as the referrals to this product as "cheap" - What do you expect for 20-25 dollars?! Normally, I would say "you get what you pay for," but in this case, I feel we got MORE than we paid for: A good coffee maker at a decent price.

"SmartBrew Coffeemaker", This is the second Black and Decker SmartBrew coffeemaker we have owned. We liked the first one so much, we searched until we found another one. It suits our needs perfectly, does not have a lot of bells and whistles, just a dependable, easy to use coffeemaker. We also like the carafe that comes with the unit. It is easy to pour with it and there are no problems with spilling as we have found with others.

We are very pleased with this product and how it performs.

"Mixed Bag", Just look at the price - this is a cheap coffee maker. Keep this in mind when considering this purchase. I'm a student that relies on coffee for my studies/time-wasting sessions. This maker has aided me in that task - I had no idea how to work my old Braun maker. So it fulfills its most basic function - to make coffee in a simple, fuss-free manner. Despite this, I have some small quibbles. First, the filter holder is of an odd shape and does not fit standard filter papers. It sort of defeats the purpose of buying a cheap maker if one most purchase special filters. Secondly, one must manipulate the caraffe just-so in order to insure a drip-free delivery of coffee. It seems inexcusable that a pot designed to pour coffee (not a difficult task!) should occasionally fail. Yes, it is a cheap model, but these very basic design flaws demand at least a 2 star penalty.

"looks good, cheaply made", My husband brought home this neat black coffee maker, deliberately choosing one without a timer - the less bells and whistles the less can go wrong . . .right?
How can this company not even get the on-off button right???
it's so cheap, when you push it, the "lighted button" just pushes right in, and doesn't turn the coffeemaker off or on.
Why didn't we keep the box and receipt, so we could return it??
$20 down the drain
DON'T BUY THIS!

"Stay away from this one!", This coffeemaker has many flaws and is made of very cheap materials. I bought it a couple of months ago. The basket has a tiny spring inside that positions the lever properly in order to control the pause and serve feature. The screw pops off very easily. This happened to me when I cleaned the coffee maker for the first time before ever using it. I figured out how to put the spring back in place, but it pops out almost every time it's cleaned. Also, the lid to the carafe no longer secures properly. I'm still using this coffee maker while in the process of trying to find another one.
