This item is the second of this model I have owned over the course of many years. It served me well with good coffee. I could adjust its strength by simply adjusting the amount of coffee I used and I liked it very strong. Had I not broken the carafe of the first one I would probably be still using it for many years more.

Fits nicely in small counter space. Makes coffee quickly. Just the right size for making just a few cups for a single person.

No bells or whistles. Just right for 2 cups of coffee. Brews fast. No programing or auto shutoff. Would buy again.

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.

My coffee maker bit the big one a couple of weeks ago and I’ve been keeping my eyes open for a replacement ever since. The caffeine withdrawal (that is probably all in my head) finally made replacing it a priority.I found this little gem. The price was an offer that I couldn’t refuse, even if it was a temporary replacement until I found something else. That’s not the case with this coffee maker. After using it a few times, I realized I got a really great deal on a really good product.This is a smaller coffee maker which makes it nice because it opens up a lot of possibilities in where I could put it in the kitchen. It brews 5 cups which is perfect for one or two people. If you have a lot of coffee drinkers in your home or office then this one would not work for you. In fact, the size is small enough that I was a little worried about it at first until I used it. My last coffee maker was a 12 cup unit so if that’s what you are used to, the difference is going to be quite noticeable but I think that is part of this unit’s charm. The size also makes this one a good choice for anyone that has a smaller kitchen, for dorm rooms, studio apartments or anyone that is limited in the amount of space that they have. There are no special bells or whistles on this little guy. It does one specific job. It brews and it brews well. No clock, no timer. Just the basics.This Black & Decker coffee maker does require coffee filters. Even though it is a smaller unit, the regular size filters fit just fine. The filter basket is removable which is a HUGE plus for cleaning.Brew speed is good. Since it is only brewing a maximum of 5 cups, it only takes a few minutes if you are brewing a full pot. I like that because when the smell of fresh brewed coffee hits my nose, I want that first cup right now and this coffee maker accommodates that urge.All in all I’m extremely pleased with this purchase. I have been using this one for a week now and couldn’t be happier. At this price I will probably pick up a few more as gifts for friends and family. Anyone that uses a coffee maker that needs a compact model really needs this one in their life!***UPDATE September 18, 2017***Just wanted to take a second and say that this coffee maker is still going strong! It has been used to brew a full pot once (sometimes twice) a day since the day it arrived and it is still working like it did when it came out of the box. I’m still very pleased with it.
