Others say...
"Owned for over 10 years!" I bought this when I was single in a tiny studio apartment and needed to save space and make small batches of coffee. I've had it for over 10 years without complaint. 10 years!!! Yeah it may be slow, but it's cheap and small and easy to use. 10 years!!! "Black & Decker 5-cup brew" This is one of the worst products, that I have ever purchased. The pot leaks, whenever you pour. If it were not for the fact that I have thrown away the box, I would return it in a NewYork minute. "Loud AND Drippy" This little coffeemaker works okay, but it's VERY loud--you'd think it was brewing coffee for an army. My main problem with it is the pot drips badly when I pour. There are pots out there that don't drip; you'd think that somewhere out there was engineering information that would ensure a dripless pot. "Mediocre coffee maker" I like the Smartbrew for the size, but the carafe is cheap and broke easily after I turned it over and placed it on the counter on a paper towel to dry. Better yet, they don't sell 5 cup replacement carafes anywhere so I'm stuck with a coffeemaker and no carafe. Very frustrating! "SmartBrew a dumb purchase" While the price is right, it brews a quick cup of joe, and its has a little more capacity than most 4-cup machines, thats about where the good news ends. My machine's heating element just crapped out after 5 months of use. Its under warranty, but I am just going out to buy a different brand. I find this unit is messy. The caraffe doesn't pour as well as the Mr Coffee I had for 3 years. Its ok if you pour very slowly, but if you are a little too fast you'll get liquid on the counter. While brewing, the lid is flimsy enough that it pushes up enough to release a lot of steam, which over time will ruin the finish on your cabinets. I also notice that if the warmer plate is left on more than about an hour, my countertop becomes extremely warm. I believe the bottom of the unit lacks sufficient height for proper air circulation. Rather than wreck your kitchen or burn the house down....buy another product!

Black & Decker DCM500B SmartBrew 5-Cup Coffeemaker
Why I buy this one ? - 5 CUP COFFEE MAKER - KW's: coffeemaker 4 cup What our customer's say! "coffee maker 5 cup - review", My elderly father uses this coffee pot and likes it as it is good for just one person. The lid is better quality than most other 4 cup coffee makers and the container can hold up to 6 cups- which is like 2 mugs. The on/off button stuck in the beginning but is working fine now. We had previously bought a 4 cup but it was too small. My father thinks this one is great as he has Parkinson's and is limited on his strength. "Perfect for my needs", Prefer my coffee brewed fresh. This is the perfect size for one or two mugs. Having no auto timer is a definite plus since I'm not into 'bells and whistles'. "Black & Decker Smart brew coffemaker", This product is very nice considering the fact that I'm in Iraq. It's a slow dripper but it gets the job done. "The Worst Coffee Maker Ever -so far", I needed a quick coffee maker and picked up this model at local hardware store and paid a premium..little did I know.. The pot drips, no matter how we angle the pot while pouring, a mess occurs....We cannot make the right amount of coffee..if we pour 5 cups of water in tank and fill up to line, we get about 3 cups of coffee, what's up with that, so we never know how much coffee to use..what a mess....never again!!!!! "Smart Brew 5-cup coffee maker", Easy to use, easy to clean. Makes a great cup of coffee in a very reasonable amount of time. Also the coffee is hot, not just one step above warm, which is really nice if you add milk or cream because it doesn't cool off too much. Also nice is the feature on the glass carafe that show's not only how many cups are in the carafe but also where to fill to get that many cups. They are not the same. I definetly would purchase again for myself or as a gift. 
Read this reviews before You buy... "An excellent buy", This inexpensive coffeemaker performs very well. Its easy to fill and the glass flask pours without spilling. My only quarrel is that the off/on switch is not very pretty and glows red rather than green when it is on. "VERY basic device ", Absolutely no frills here. No timers. No permanent filter. Just a simple drip pot. Overall, it is well made for it's price and does brew a good cup of coffee. The only coplaint I have is that the lip of the curaffe has a bad tendency to drip on the first cup being poured when you brea a really full pot. Since this is only a 5 cup (read 5 as 3 to anyone who acutally fills his cup) You almost always make a full pot. "Warm, weak coffee brewed at a turtle's pace", My parents have this coffee maker and every time I'm at their house for a few days I have to use this very slow machine to make what amounts to a weak cup of coffee which I then have to proceed to (forgive me coffee gods) nuke for 10 seconds in order to get it hot enough. Of course if you like your coffee not much hotter than room temperature, this may be the perfect coffee maker for you; but keep in mind that the trade-off for this convenience is a very inefficient coffee maker. That is, warm water extracts far less coffee flavor than very hot water and on account of this you need to use far more beans to make a cup of coffee with this machine. Overall this is a poor coffee maker that is slow, inefficient, and makes cold coffee. "Black k& Decker 5-cup Pot", Just the right size for 2 people. 4 cups not quite enough, 5 cups just right. With this pot, however, and my previous one, when you pour, always some dripping onto the counter because the lip of the pot is not deep enough, I guess. Otherwise, B&D seems to be the only company making a 5-cup pot, which I appreciate. "Not As Advertised", I bought this product to replace one that had broken that I really liked. I had to return this product THREE times because it does NOT (as it says in the description) come with the perfect pour carafe which is what I wanted since the standard carafe drips EVERYWHERE. On the third time of returning it, I asked why they kept sending me the wrong carafe and they said that the perfect pour was discontinued in this size. I then mentioned to Amazon that they might want to remove that part of the description, but they have not. |
