BLACK+DECKER 12-Cup Coffee Maker with Easy On/Off Switch, Easy Pour, Non-Drip Carafe with Removable Filter Basket, Vortex Technology, Black

Excellent quality and low noise level on this one. Had a vortex like this awhile back. liked it very much. This one does not have the automatic shut-off included. Order one of those quality push button timers with the LED. Works well on this coffee pot. Brew time is around 10-12 minutes. Not bad and makes a very good cup of coffee. IF you use good coffee that is. This is a no frills and no spills unit. Yes, NO SPILLS! Spout on carafe doesn't drip all over the place like others do.

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!

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.

I had to laugh when I took this 5-cup Black & Decker coffee maker out of the box. It’s much smaller than I expected—almost comical at first. It is bigger than what you’d find in a hotel room; I’ve just never bought one this size before. I normally buy a 12-cup coffee maker, so this was new to me. I poured in 16 ounces of water, and after brewing, the glass carafe showed about 3 cups, which for me is a little over one good-size mug of coffee. That’s actually perfect. I don’t use pre-ground coffee. I grind my own beans and use Peet’s coffee. I followed the directions and used the recommended paper filter for this size machine. I was pleasantly surprised—it made a very good cup of coffee. It dripped evenly and brewed properly. Being single, this size is perfect for me. It works well, makes good coffee, doesn’t take up much space, and the price was great. I’m very pleased with it.

One button. Turn coffee maker on, turn coffee maker off. Turn it on and it brews much quicker than the last one. The off part is especially nice because you don't walk in for a hot me upper and the heater has been off for an hour. At half the price of the last one I had (no names mentioned but it had to be replaced within the first year), the coffee tastes better and I get two "extra" cups per brew. Don't waste money of the fancy options. This is the perfect coffee maker!

The first unit I received had a broken lid hinge. I suspect it was a transportation issue. It was very cold outside and plastic gets brittle. Also, it wasn't inside an outer box like most stuff from Amazon. I returned the unit for credit on a new one. The new one came promptly and WAS inside another box. It is in great shape and makes great coffee for a drip model. I like that the top lid locks in place. Also, the switch is a real switch and isn't the electronic type that turns off after on hour or so. After a week I judge this to be a champion basic coffee maker.

I highly recommend this this coffee maker. I almost can't believe how well it brews a cup of coffee. So rich, robust, steaming hot and absolutely delicious. And the machine is simple to operate and so affordable. ;

We are mostly happy with this coffee maker. We haven’t had any major issues with it, and it is eons better than a similarly priced one that we replaced. There’s a single drip that comes when you go to pour your coffee before it’s completely done. We don’t find that to be problematic. The only issue we do have is it makes random brewing noises after the coffee pot has been filled, until you go and turn it off. However, that’s actually a blessing for me because it reminds me to turn the coffee pot off. The coffee brew quickly, the craft doesn’t spill everywhere when you pour too fast like my last one did. The lid stays closed. The coffee pot is very simple to use, and the only area aware of would be difficult to clean is the water Reservoir. I find the temperature to be perfect for the coffee.

The coffee maker is of excellent quality. Excellent value for price paid. Works very well, brews hot coffee fast. I love it.

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

nuevo sistema interior de goteo que me gusto mas que el sistema tradicional ya que moja de manera mas rapida todo el cafe que esta en el filtro, mu practica y facil de usar, queda el cafe a gusto de cada quien.

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! 😝
