About 5-Cup Coffeemaker, Black
Overall Feedback:
70% positive
83% appreciated the size and fit
For me, 5 cups is better than 8 cups and the size of the coffee maker is great.
The small size of my coffee maker is perfect and it fits nicely in my very tiny kitchen.
84% liked the quiet operation
While brewing, the coffee maker is relatively quiet and makes a sound when it's done.
80% were satisfied with the control options
The coffee-maker has only one switch which serves as the off and on. It emits a bright blue light that's noticeable. There's no auto-off feature but the button is catching enough to serve as a reminder to shut it off when I am done.
78% found cleaning and maintenance easy
The coffee maker is super easy to clean with all removable parts being dishwasher safe. De-scaling the machine with vinegar is also super easy to do.
Removing and cleaning the pot and parts is much easier compared to my last coffee maker.
81% was satisfied with the temperature maintenance, but 19% experienced inconsistency
My mini pod-brewer brews at a temperature between 173-175 degrees and I love the window.
Experts say that the perfect brew temperature for coffee is 195-205 degrees. Many electric pots exceed this temperature which produces bitter coffee verses a smooth enjoyable cup. I took the liberty to temp the Black+Decker when my brew was finished for purposes of this review. The temperature of the coffee was 198 degrees. I left the carafe on the warmer for 20 minutes and did another temperature test and the temperature was 195 and coffee still tasted great. Based on my experience, the Black+Decker coffee maker produces an awesome cup of coffee with perfect brewing temperature.
I measured the water temperature and found it to be a bit on the low side but still hot enough to brew coffee correctly.
77% found the brewing speed satisfactory
The new coffee maker brews in just 10 minutes, compared to the old one which took 45 minutes.
77% appreciated the consistent brew quality, but 23% encountered issues
I was not able to brew consistent coffee with the Black & Decker coffee maker, even after using the same quantities of water and java.
