BLACK+DECKER 5-Cup Coffeemaker, DCM600B Black

Perfect size for two people to each have a couple of cups of morning coffee. The coffee tastes good. Carafe and filter basket are easy to clean and can be washed in top rack of ishwasher

This little coffee maker makes a good cup of coffee. I used two and a half scoops of coffee to make 4 cups. I like it very strong and flavorful. The scoops are larger than a tablespoon. I feel very happy to have a great cup of coffee and this little machine takes up much less room than my previous 12 cup machine. Now there is enough for me and no waste. I highly recommend the Black and Decker 5 cup coffee maker.

This is a very basic small coffee maker. No frills…just coffee. Easy to prepare, easy to clean, 8/10 coffee. Only 1 negative comment: it’s loud as it finishes making a pot of coffee. A loud slurping noise as it’s sucking up the last of the water from the reservoir…an annoying sound at 5:30AM. But I guess for $20, you shouldn’t expect barista quality.

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.

This little coffee maker is exactly what I wanted. I’ve evaluated a few others, and each had at least one issue that was a dealbreaker for me. Here’s some info on this model to help you figure out if it’s right for you: Fully accessible water reservoir that can be viewed and periodically brush-cleaned thoroughly (this important feature can be hard to find in so-called “5-cup” coffee makers; #MoldyBiofilm) (Note: in the coffee-maker world, “5-cup“ really means about 24 ounces). A carafe that pours cleanly without drizzling or dripping — really Works fast (6 minutes for “3 cups”; 8.5 minutes for “5 cups” ) to make good coffee at the right temperature (165°F, according to my tests) If you fill the water to the “3-cup“ water line, you get ~ 16 ounces of coffee (to me, that’s perfect for one generous thermal mug of coffee) If you fill the water to the “5-cup“ (maximum) water line, you get ~ 24 ounces of coffee In my experience, for a moderately strong brew, the perfect proportion of ground coffee to water for this model is 5 tablespoons of ground beans (that’s one generously heaped standard coffee scoop) to 17 ounces of water (that’s the “3-cup” water fill line) (Note: I use Peet’s Medium Roast) Some things you might not like about this model, although they don’t bother me: Coffee flow does not stop if you remove the pot mid-brew. (The brew times I list above take into account that all water must’ have moved the system before you pour your cup.) This is a simple machine with no extra bells or whistles. No delayed brew, no timer, etc. Good luck with your search!

Love the compactness of this product Makes great coffee Love the ease of use

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.
