Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Black & Decker DCM2500W SmartBrew 12-Cup Coffeemaker, White
Customer Review: Easy to Use with No Mess and Good Coffee and Cheap
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the recommended models in Consumer Reports last coffee review. I agree. It's the cleanest, easiest, and fastest design I've seen in a long time. Carafe is drip free and the filter basket is a simple easy to use/clean design. My only quibble is that the brewing process is just a notch below the best coffeemaker (Braun KF400). I had the Braun but got fed up with it's drippy carafe and quirky filter basket.
If you have little time in the morning to fight with your coffeemaker and don't want to waste a lot of time wiping up spilled coffee, this is the coffeemaker for you. I'm a cream and sugar type so the brew quality is good enough for me.
Customer Review: Deserves O stars. Worst coffemaker sold today
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this because it says no drip. I never knew what drips were, before this coffeemaker. The plastic rim around the top of the glass carafe fills with coffee and pours out on the counter as you pour into your cup. You cannot get inside the rim to clean it, so it looks dingy. I wrote to Black and Decker about it and they say they don't actually make it at all. They farm it out. So when I wrote the appropriate company, I had a response: Tough going, we have our money-don't like it, too bad. As a result-I will not buy anything with the cover name Black and Decker again. On a more positive note: You can spill coffee faster with this pot-it makes it amazingly fast.Customer Review: Great concept. needs a little work

I loved this coffee pot. my biggest complaint of coffee pots in general is the carafe. no matter how slow I try to pour it gets everywhere and drives me crazy. The carafe on this model is perfect. I don't know why no one else has the wide pour spout, but I can't find it on any other model. There are some problems with it though. my first one had a small leak at the back on the bottom of the brewer which I didn't discover until it shorted out after about 6 months. The second one just kind of exploded one day. We have high alkali in the water where I live and the build-up is pretty bad so it could have been because of that. I had that one for about a year.Customer Review: Save yourself the time, money and headaches

I am an avid coffee drinker and bought this machine with hopes of a dependable coffee maker in the morning. What an absolute dissapointment! The first time brewing the brew basket clogged creating quite a mess of coffee grounds. Next effort produced quite a leaking problem. The next morning the machine completely shorted out. What an absolute waste of time and money. My impressions of Black & Decker have been dropping over the years, but I thought "how can they mess up such a simple design?" Surprise! In my estimation, Black & Decker has reached a new low with inferior products. Avoid this coffee maker and save yourself the headaches.Customer Review: Great for the price
Summary: 4 Stars
I've had the Black & Decker coffee pot for about a month now. I was hesitant to purchase after reading reviews, however I've had absolutely no problems with it. It is a flimsy product, but considering the price it's well worth it. It's fast, the coffe stays hot and tastes great. I found out the pot lid is removeable after weeks of trying to clean it while it's attached. Now that I take it off to clean, I'm wondering how long it will be until it breaks and can no longer be attached to the pot. I like the water marks on the side. Easy to read.
All in all, I'm very pleased with the purchase. Let's just see how long it lasts.
