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

Revainrating 1 out of 5

BAD. BAD. BAD. Design

The whole point of an automatic grinder is to add coffee beans and make fresh coffee. The first cup of coffee was delicious. Clear instructions and quick setup. The next day I go to make another coffee pot and the coffee turned out to be nothing more than hot light brown water. After investigation, the problem became obvious. The design of their "famous" grinder/coffee filter basket is nothing short of a HUGE mistake. The grinding blades grind just the right amount of coffee beans. BUT your second coffee pot grinds the same coffee grounds as the unground coffee beans. I'm not going to pull out the basket and separate all the unused beans from the set every time I want to make coffee. This design contradicts the very purpose of using an automatic grinder. Neither the description nor the reviews mention this shortcoming. I don't understand why it has such a high rating. DO NOT THINK. It's not what it claims to be. The worst part. It cannot be returned. I won't tell you the description either. I think it will do fine as I won't be using it nor will I be buying my next Revain coffee maker. If I get screwed, I'll go somewhere else.

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • Long wait
