About BLACK+DECKER 12-Cup Mill and Brew Coffeemaker
Overall Feedback:
73% positive
78% appreciated the user-friendly design
The coffee machine is user-friendly and can be used right out of the box without reading the manual first.
The clock and interface are easy to use with a good design.
84% were impressed with the compact size, whereas 16% weren't
This coffee maker with grinder is the only one that is short enough to fit under my kitchen cabinet.
A cup of coffee is actually only 4oz, despite its misleading size.
82% liked the temperature control
I have set the hot plate to be on for two hours at 6am to go off at 8am, which shows my experience with the temperature control feature of the coffee machine.
I checked the temperature of the coffee on the warming plate for 30 minutes and it held 177 degrees F throughout, indicating good temperature control.
The coffee stays hot for up to 2 hours with the help of a warmer.
83% liked the programmable features
I can program the warming plate to keep my coffee warm for a specific time and it will automatically shut off.
After using the programmable features a few times, they became intuitive to me.
84% appreciated the quiet operation, whereas 16% found it noisy
The grinding noise is very loud, like an 80's rock concert.
The coffee machine's annoying noise in the morning has become irritating.
82% found it easy to clean, though 18% struggled
I found all parts of the coffee machine easy to remove and clean.
Cleaning the coffee machine is easy. Even lazy people can clean it by dumping the ground coffee and quickly rinsing both the basket and the carafe.
Cleaning is not easy with the blades at the bottom, but I have a spray handle on my sink which makes it super easy.
The clean-up process is easy, but removing grinds from the permanent filter can be challenging.
85% praised the sturdy construction, although 15% found it flimsy
I had the second unit of the same model that leaked from the bottom of the coffee machine after 6 months of use.
The plastic build feels cheap and is not as well made as my Cuisinart.
81% liked the fast brewing speed, while 19% didn't
Increasing the number of bars slows down the drip speed but results in more flavor.
It takes around 25 minutes to brew 12 cups.
It took 15 minutes to brew 8 cups of coffee and the temperature was not hot after adding cream.
When I first got the coffee machine, it took about 10 minutes to brew a pot. But now, after a few months, it takes over 20 minutes and about a third of the water evaporates.
