Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Black & Decker DCM2500B SmartBrew Coffeemaker
Customer Review: Great coffeemaker for the price!
Summary: 4 Stars
After about 15 years using a Mr. Coffee, I finally decided that it needed replacing. I couldn't find a comparable model to what I had, so I decided to try this B&D SmartBrew. Looks sleeks, works great! No drips, no problems. A great product for the money! I have been burned before by choosing the "designer" name with the designer price, only to find out that I should have trusted in the tried and true. Glad didn't make that mistake again! The only negative that I can come up with is that in order to add the water and coffee, the top needs to lift up quite high. That means that I need to pull the machine forward from under my cabinet to fill it. Minor issue, and hardly worth mentioning. Just want to be fair in my review for why it didn't get 5 stars.Customer Review: I've bought two of these pieces of junk now

The first one I had was a gift and the carafe leaked from the point where the glass meets with the plastic. The spring in the the sneak-a-cup feature popped out, so I didn't have that after it's fifth use. I kept reading about all the rave reviews here on Amazon, so I contacted B&D for a replacement carafe since it was obviously a flaw in their "perfectly dripless carafe". Well, to my surprise the carafe isn't covered under the warranty and I would have to send them $19.99 plus shipping and tax for a replacement. Fine, I ordered one off eBay and guess what!!?? Same problem but this one leaks 4x as much. This coffee maker and the B&D brand (in terms of their warranty and customer service) are reakky a disappointment. I won't buy from them again.Customer Review: WASTE OF MONEY

We have had this coffee maker for twenty days. That's it. And this morning when my husband tried to make coffee the water leaked right out of the reservoir. I couldn't understand how this could possibly just happen out of nowhere so I tried it myself just to see what was happening. I poured 1/2 a cup of water into the carafe and sure enough it immediately began leaking out of the bottom... out of several different areas. We have owned much cheaper coffee makers than this one and we never had problems with them. I wouldn't be so frustrated if we had owned the product for a longer period of time, then it might be understandable that something had worn down... but twenty days?! So weird... and so frustrating because we need our morning coffee!Customer Review: Ahhh Coffee waiting for me
Summary: 5 Stars
I have fallen in love with this coffee maker. I wake up ever morning to a hot pot of coffee waiting for me. I have read other reviews saying that they didn't really like this pot due to the pour lip and something about the coffee basket. I love the wide spout that the craft has and have never had any problems with this coffee maker. The only thing that I would have to say I don't like about it is that it has an auto shut off after two hours. I am a stay at home mom and drink coffee all morning so I do have to turn it back on half way through my morning. That's just me though. Easy to program and set up, it only took me around 2 minutes to pull it out of the package and get completely set up. I would recommend!Customer Review: Ok coffee maker

Overall this coffee maker is pretty good. It seems to make good coffee, the pause and serve function works well, and I don't have any problems with leaking or anything. However it holds an excessive amount of moisture inside, which causes problems when you go to take the filter out. I have to hold someting under the filter as I remove it or I am dripping coffee everywhere on the way to the trash. Twice now I have had the filter rip because it was so wet, one time dumping grounds all over my counter. I never had this problem with my old coffee maker. I have even tried propping the lid open(which helps a little, but not fully). If I purchased it from a store I would return it rather then deal with the mess.
