Black & Decker DCM2500B SmartBrew Coffeemaker

This was everything Consumer Reports says it was.
I love the coffe, the ease of operation, and it
does not spill, or leak when I pour coffee. Great
item!

Before purchasing a coffee maker I checked consumers Report. This unit was within my price range and received a favorable review.
The unit arrived on time well packaged and in excellent condition.I wanted a unit that was straight forward and didn't have to have a lot of frills to break, just make a good consistant cup of coffee.
This unit has exceeded my expectations for a unit in this price range.The timer works perfectly.I like that the water gauge is visible from both sides, the plate keeps the coffee hot for 2 hours and shuts off.
This is a great looking unit that so far has been a joy to own.

This item had 3 stars and we ordered without reading all the reviews. Also, it was recommended by Consumer Reports. This coffee maker is a piece of junk. It lived up to all the bad reviews. Very thin glass pot and also it does not fit nicely under the spout like it should - you have to wiggle it sometimes. We are going back to Mr.Coffee. The seller took it back and Amazon treated us fairly on the shipping charges.

We bought this coffee maker in April 2008 after we got rid of our 10 year old Mr. Coffee maker. We were pleased with the auto on feature and this model worked great for us until one day it just refused to begin brewing.

It had power, the buttons were working but it simply would not kick on and brew another pot of coffee. We only use it once a day and were disappointed that it was dead. We are still not sure exactly what stopped working but we are in talks with Black & Decker to get it replaced.

I checked this Coffeemaker out on CR, they rated it a Best Buy. I have had it now for four months, I have had all the other brands that cost twice as much, the Black & Decker by far is the best. It makes great coffee fast and what I realy like the following cups are still hot. Features work great and easy to clean. Go for it.
