Junk
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
My Mr. Coffee brewer still works after 12 years. The on/off switch on this Black and Decker failed after 10 uses. Not repairable. Certainly not worth the money.

Small and Simple
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I was looking for an inexpensive small, uncomplicated, reliable, and simple-to-clean coffeemaker that could provide a excellent, quick 8 oz. mug of coffee after breakfast and dinner. This baby does the job.

Like This Coffee Maker
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I started drinking coffee again after a 15 year break (thanks to the wonderful Parisian cafes). I got tired of the inconvenience and expense of going downstairs to the coffee shop once or twice a day. I bought this for my office and it’s perfect. I can choose between 2-5 cups depending on my desire. I can also make coffee for our occasional guests in the office. It takes up very small space, rarely (if ever) spills, brews very quickly, tastes like any other fantastic cup of coffee, can go between regular and decaf between brewings, the heat stays on until I turn it off and it’s a perfect mini coffee maker.

Black & Decker 5-Cup Drip Coffeemaker
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
It made coffee just fine for about a week and then the on/off switch broke off and rendered it useless.

Compact, Excellent for one person
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I need about a cup and a half of coffee to get going in the morning,
and this coffeemaker does it. The white exterior is simple to clean and
compact and clean-looking on the counter. Watch for drips, as cautioned by other reviews, I could see potential for rusting of the heating element. Fantastic for a single person or couple who aren’t massive coffee drinkers.

Didn’t even have to buy new filters!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This cute small coffee maker is 9-3/4″ tall (needs an extra 8″ to open the lid) and about 7″ wide. It’s simple to fill because the fill area is large. I can not see the water level in the water level window so can’t use that feature. I mean it’s a clear window with tiny white markings, so you place clear water in there and it’s pretty much invisible. That’s okay though because you can use the markings on the carafe to measure. Still hard to see but do-able. When I first looked at the small filter basket I figured i’d have to order paper filters to fit it (the unit does not include a permanent filter) but was delighted to find that my 8-12 cup filters fit just fine because I have a ton of those. It even says in the booklet that the 8-12 cup filters work. I thank whoever was responsible for that bit of ingenuity. I’ve only used the coffee maker twice so far. The first time I had place in one level tablespoon of coffee for each cup as suggested in the booklet but the results were weak tasting. Today I added one extra tablespoon and the coffee was much better. They consider five ounces to be a cup so the maximum five cup capacity of this coffee maker is 25 ounces. I make my coffee with Yuban Coffee, Original, 12-Ounce Canisters (Pack of 12) and filtered water from my PUR CR-6000 2 Stage Oval Water Pitcher. Tomorrow I’m going to make tea instead. I’ll just add Stash Premium Organic Pinhead Gunpowder Green Tea, Loose Leaf, 3.5-Ounce Pouches (Pack of 3) to the carafe and let the hot water drip in and steep.

B & D Coffee Maker
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This coffee maker is perfect for those wanting a simple machine. One’s not confronted with bells & whistles. You place water and coffee in it, push the switch – and it makes the coffee. Doesn’t get any better! And Amazon’s vendor had it here long before it was expected. Fantastic experience all the way around.

hard to pour
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
This is the perfect size for my office. It brews slowly. It is simple on or off. You have to pour the coffee slowly or it spills everywhere.

This appliance makes just the right amount of coffee for me with all its faults. The water guage is invisible unless you close the lid. If you close the lid how do you pour in the water? The overfill guide is two holes in the water compartment. If by accident, you overfill, you have water all over the counter. After the coffee is made, the entire appliance is dripping with condensation. The price is right but sure has lots of design problems.

Excellent For The Money

I’m pleased. It makes decent coffee for the price. I learned to always hold the lid on tightly in order to prevent water or coffee spillage.

No bells and whistles, just a excellent small coffee maker
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
This is an update for my original review shown below. After having the pot several more months, I have noticed that the hot plate does get corroded from hot coffee dripping on it. Also, one other problem, which has also been mentioned by other reviewers is that pouring out the coffee can get messy – it tends to drip and dribble unless you pour slowly and keep the lid raised while pouring. But, considering how much use I get out of it (at least three pots of coffee or hot water a day), I’m still pleased with it and my original rating of four stars stands. If B & D can come up with a better, non-drip carafe and a hot plate that doesn’t corrode, they’d earn five stars from me.
The Black & Decker 5-cup coffeemaker is a excellent small basic pot for those times when you only need to make enough coffee for one or two people. I generally use a 16 oz. mug for my coffee and with this pot I get nearly two mugs full. One of the other reviewers mentioned that the hot plate part of their pot had corroded from the coffee dripping onto it. I haven’t had that problem but I’ve only had my pot for about three months. There are no bells and whistles with this machine – no timers, automatic shutoff, etc. It’s just a excellent basic coffeemaker for people who don’t want to make a huge pot of coffee when all they want is a cup or two.

Excellent small coffeemaker but has it’s drawbacks
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
This will be the THIRD one of this particular B&D model that I will be purchasing. OK, call me “insane” but I have liked the way it makes coffee and will just place up with its drawbacks which I wish B&D would fix:
(1) Without a Pause(to stop drips) it still can drip and any water/coffee that falls on the hot plate WILL corrode it over time. On my second one of this model I even covered the hot plate with foil at the outset to prevent the corrosion but over time (a year or small over) the foil corroded and, thus, the hot plate;
(2) On/Off button broke. On this second model, the On/Off button simply cracked and then fell off. I had to discard this coffeemaker due to the danger of electrical shock.
Other than that, I’ve been pleased with its size and the coffee it brews.

The Small Coffee Maker That Really Works
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I read a lot of reviews of other coffee makers before deciding on this one.Very simple to use. I’m the only coffee drinker in the house, but this baby can make enough for 2. I like simple efficient products.Brews in less than 5 minutes. Simple to clean.You can spend more money on timers,swing out baskets, exotic warmers and all the other extras.It doesn’t leak, drip, have a clock that doesn’t keep time or do any of the other weird things that you might get with a more expensive product. There is a 25 oz. carafe. It has an on/off switch. A light to show when its on or off. It has a “Keep Hot Plate” and a place to store the cord.It uses 4-cup or 8 to 12 cup basket filters.
Bottom line, it makes fantastic coffee and is simple to use.

Black & Decker 5-Cup Coffee Maker
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Black & Decker 5-Cup Coffeemaker is an inexpensive & quick way to a tasty cup of coffee. The size of the pot is perfect for one person or two. So simple to use & simple clean up. Nice, clean lines. Fantastic gift thought.
Note: when filling the water resovoir & pouring the coffee, it’s best to use the thumb tab to lift the carafe lid, otherwise the liquid tends to over flow the spout.
