BLACK+DECKER CM0700BZ 4-in-1 5-Cup Coffee Station Coffeemaker, Black

Needed a small coffee maker to replace one that broke. For the low price it is easy to use and has had no problems. I use this coffee maker multiple times a week without issue. The coffee tastes good, the water capacity is perfect for 1-2 people, and the design makes it super easy to use.

Excellent little coffee maker! But I liked its predecessor even more, because the previous model had an automatic shut off if you wanted to take some coffee out early. Also the glass container quite often spills a little bit when pouring. Whereas the older model never a drop. But it's a good unit and it brews quicker than the older one. The older one lasted for many many years, and it is actually still working.

We bought this coffeemaker because we wanted something smaller but did not want it to look like a cheap hotel room coffeemaker. This one looks great in our kitchen. It makes 5 cups of coffee - some of the other small ones only make 4. You can remove the carafe and pour a cup while it is still brewing. This model also DOES have the warmer plate to keep the coffee warm. However the warmer plate will remain ON until you turn the coffeemaker off - it does not auto shutoff. The temperature of the coffee is just right, i can add refrigerator cold cream/milk and sweetener to my coffee and the coffee is still hot to drink which is great. The ONLY thing I did not like, was when we used the coffee maker it would have a really bad burning plasticky smell after brewing coffee. At first we thought that would wear off after the first 3 brews. But it did not. The bad plasticky smell was bad enough to smell up our whole kitchen. We ended up running 3 cycles of half vinegar and half water through it - like you would do when you descale it. Then another clean water only cycle. That seemed to do the trick and got rid of the bad plasticky smell. So now we are very happy with this little coffee maker.Pros:looks great - nicer than a lot of other small coffee makersbrews coffee well and keeps it warm to a good temperaturelid on carafe is easy to take off for cleaning!!cons:ours initially had a bad plastic smell when we used it - that took some cleaning cycles to get rid of - for this reason i am deducting one star.

I like simple, functional coffee makers and for years I was a big Mr. Coffee fan until my latest Mr. Coffee coffee maker purchase. I was on the hunt for a small 5-cup coffee maker that would produce a good cup of coffee, function properly, and have features such as an easy to clean carafe and no-drip stopper when removing the carafe from the coffee maker. After a lot of research and reading many reviews, I decided to give this Black and Decker a go. I have been pleasantly surprised since the moment I took the coffee maker from the box. I like that the water view is on the left side, the blue on and off switch, the fact that the carafe opening is large enough to fit my hand inside so it can be properly cleaned, and that the lid is not attached to the handle with plastic lugs that easily break. The lid is simply held in place by moulded plastic bumps on the lid so that when pushing the lid down or up they expand and contract. Furthermore, I have never had coffee spill on the burner when removing the carafe from the machine!!! The no-drip mechanism actually functions and works unlike on all of my previous Mr. Coffee machines, which I was constantly having to wipe up or have a paper towel handy to catch the drips, and ultimately, the Mr. Coffee machine hot plate protective coating always began to peel off. I can see this Black and Decker lasting for a very long time. I am very happy with this machine and would highly recommend it to anyone that is looking for a simple, small, and functional coffee maker for the home or office.

If I could give ten stars, I would. First, I purchased another manufacturer and put up with it for four months, but I could not take it anymore. My new Black+Decker is far superior and a third of the price. Higher dollars do not equate to superior quality.The design creates an effortless brew and clean-up. The coffeemaker brews hot coffee without grounds spilling over into the pot. The construction is solid, and the water dispenser has six holes to thoroughly and evenly saturate all coffee grounds, creating an excellent cup of coffee.I am finicky about my coffee and the ease of brewing it; thus, I have ordered a second Black+Decker to tuck away.You will not be disappointed...

1/15/2021 - Update. This is the perfect, small coffeemaker if only it would last. First purchased this little pot in Oct. 2019. By Dec. 2020 it had died. It would not hold water in the resevoir. Thinking that was some sort of fluke and because I really liked the simplicity and size I bought another in Dec. 2020 which just died in Jan. 2021. The on/off switch completely "froze" and could not be moved at all. I decided to contact Black and Decker directly and was forwarded to another arm of their business Spectrum Home Appliances. After 3 emails and several requests from SHA regarding proof of purchase they are mailing me a new pot. I originallyand will continue to give it a 5 star rating because I love this pot and SHA customer service came through for me.ORIGINAL REVIEW - FOLLOWS.If you're looking for a small, simple coffeemaker look no further. Drip free pouring and the "sneak a cup" feature add to the perfectionism of this little pot. Simple on/off switch. Fits nicely into any corner under a cabinet. I have only washed it and the various parts on the top rack of the dishwasher and without heat dry. I used to buy the coffee pots with all the bells and whistles. They had clocks, pre-set auto on features, cleaner indicators and so on. They always seemed a bit unwieldy to handle and each would die within a couple of years. So I decided to try this little $20 pot and it's perfect. If it only lasts a couple of years I will be happy that I only spent $20 and I'll hope that another will still be available by then for another purchase.
