BLACK+DECKER Single-Serve Coffee Maker with 50oz Reservoir

Best coffee maker ever! But you have to be attentive because there is no automatic shutoff and also patient because it keeps dripping when you move the pot. It is simple and easy. It also doesn't tell time so if you need a clock buy a microwave instead. Good for about two and a half large coffee mugs full. So if you love coffee it is good for just you and if you like coffee a lot you can share it with another person. Drink within three minutes of brew completion or the coffee will be too hot on the warmer and burn over time. It is brewed at the perfect temperature if you drink it right away and no, that is not scorching hot, it is the perfect temperature for the full flavor of the bean. I use 8 flat tablespoons per full pot (5 cup), drip grind. It is stronger than a normal coffee pot due to the smaller area for the water to go through the beans, which is awesome because you will use less coffee when you make coffee. I recommend keeping it clean, rinse it after you use it and never let wet beans sit because they will get moldy and that's gross. For the perfect brew, use water from your refrigerator (cold water) or add two ice cubes if the water is warm or tap. Cold water creates the best brew. Never use hot water as it will overheat the plastic and you will get a nice plastic flavor. Also, buy good coffee and only use Swiss or natural process decaf because the rest tastes like chemicals. I have had success with Java Delight's Columbian dark roast, Boyd's French Roast, most Starbuck's coffee, Decaf Peace Coffee (my favorite but expensive), and any other coffee that is not instant and costs more than $10 a bag. I mentioned some that aren't because they are exceptions and if you are on a budget they will be the best for you and they go on sale sometimes. I stand by this coffee maker. It is cheaper to buy a new one than to replace the carafe if you break that too, it is glass so you know, treat it like glass. If you grasp the concept of coffee this should be an easy machine to use. You can use most generic filters, I recommend non-bleached for no real reason beside there is no bleach used in them. Buy some on amazon, they are cheap in bulk. It is also best if you grind your coffee fresh right before brewing and keep it in an airtight container when not in use. Dispose of coffee grinds after use. You can get nice glass jars from Walmart or Amazon that work great for storage. Do not keep the beans cold unless you are going to drink one cup every six months. You should not have beans last more than six months at the most and that is for fresh whole beans. Pre-ground store-bought coffee may taste the same after more time, but it probably wasn't that fresh in the first place. Get an automatic Bodom burr grinder, the good one where you can set the grind and time. Keep it clean and don't let the beans sit too long ground or whole. It is around $100 on amazon right now, see? You can have really expensive tastes and love this coffee maker if you know what you are doing. I do 20-25 seconds on the coffee post setting depending on the freshness of the bean. As someone who is deeply in love with the oily beany taste of strong freshly-brewed coffee that isn't too acidic or bitter, I will tell you right now this maker can be perfect. You just have to follow my instructions and be on top of it.

Great little, simple pot with no frills that makes a great pot of coffee. Just what I wanted

I like this little coffee maker and its size is perfect for my needs and my space. It's easy to operate and makes my morning coffee quickly. There is a flaw however. The brewed coffee is not even close to hot enough. If I drank my coffee black it would still need to be hotter, but adding a little cream and it's tepid at best. I've resolved the problem by starting with very warm water to brew my coffee. Why don't I return it? My time is worth money too and my solution works for me. But I wouldn't buy another.

I do love this little Black and Decker coffee maker. It makes the right amount. No more than 5 cups and less if you want it. I'm the only one that drinks coffee, so it's perfect. It doesn't take up a lot of space either.

Excellent quality, simple design, lasts for years. Perfect 5 cup size. Minimal space on counter. This is my second one in 10 years. The water heating element lasts several years.

Worked fine, but it isn't very durable. The on/off button snapped off in less than a year. As long as you don't mind replacing it often, it's a decent little coffeemaker if you don't want all the bells and whistles.

I had to laugh when I took this 5-cup Black & Decker coffee maker out of the box. It’s much smaller than I expected—almost comical at first. It is bigger than what you’d find in a hotel room; I’ve just never bought one this size before. I normally buy a 12-cup coffee maker, so this was new to me. I poured in 16 ounces of water, and after brewing, the glass carafe showed about 3 cups, which for me is a little over one good-size mug of coffee. That’s actually perfect. I don’t use pre-ground coffee. I grind my own beans and use Peet’s coffee. I followed the directions and used the recommended paper filter for this size machine. I was pleasantly surprised—it made a very good cup of coffee. It dripped evenly and brewed properly. Being single, this size is perfect for me. It works well, makes good coffee, doesn’t take up much space, and the price was great. I’m very pleased with it.

Great basic coffeemaker, stores in small space. Note that this comes with neither filters nor basket. I use it to brew a 40 oz. mug. More often than not I spill some as the carafe is replete. Mechanical switch, so this can be used with a smart plug.

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

Husband has been using this for a few months now as he wanted a separate coffee blend in the morning. It is easy to use and makes about 2 mugs worth of coffee. Does not have an automatic shut off but that is fine since he just switches off the warming plate as he pours his second cup. It does have a slightly smaller basket size that you could buy different filters for but it's not really necessary. We just use the regular size basket filters squished a little bit and have never had any problems with grounds escaping. Works perfectly for its intended purpose.

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. UPDATE: It’s almost 2025 and this bad boy is still going strong!! If you have this in your wishlist/cart just get it! 😝

La cafetera es pequeña, para 5 tazas, pero muy cumplidora. Llevó 3 meses de uso y no me ha dado ningún problema, además es muy fácil de usar y te proporciona mucha calidad por un bajo precio.

FUNCIONA MUY BIEN, PERO REALMENTE PENSÉ QUE SERÍA UN POCO MÁS GRANDE. MIS TAZAS SON GRANDES Y NO ALCANZO A LLENAR DOS.... POR LO DEMÁS, FUNCIONA BIEN.
