Review on ☕ Efficient and Stylish BLACK+DECKER 12-Cup Mill and Brew Coffeemaker, Black: CM5000B by Jessica Lange

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Cool machine but cleaning it before each use is a chore.

I love that this thing grinds my coffee beans before brewing, but I also have to clean the wire mesh basket and then flush all the coffee grounds down the sink before each brew. It's not a lot of work, but it takes me maybe a minute longer than I would probably spend with a disposable paper filter, as the coffee grounds tend to get a little stuck in the strainer. It brews excellent coffee, although the taste might not be as expected since it doesn't use paper filters (the grinder is in the same area of the basket as the paper filter, so placing the paper filter here can result in grinding). if you forget to turn off the grinder). degree of grinding before brewing). From my understanding, metal filters add a different flavor to the drink since the paper filter usually absorbs some of the oils from the coffee. I really like buying coffee made from whole beans because I think it lasts longer and tastes fresher than ground coffee. And I like not messing around with a separate coffee grinder. So maybe cleaning the machine after each use is just a little slower than wasting grains on another machine? I do not know. i like this car
