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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

GREAT COFFEE AWAITS EVERY MORNING!

I would be less open if I didn't say in the preface to my review that I was not encouraged by the "mixed reviews" I've seen about this product. My family has been using Mill and Brew coffee makers for over 20 years. When the latest Melita finally broke, I fixed it for another year before breaking and buying it. Black+Decker has more than justified itself. has met expectations. We used it every day for a month without a single problem. Yes, I would like the cable to be 4 or 5 inches longer. I also wish the water tank gauge was on the front of the unit and not on the side. I miss the LED clock that lights up in the middle of the night as I navigate my dark kitchen. MAKES GREAT COFFEE. I have all the strong coffee settings and it works. We love the 2 hour stove function. The device is easy to disassemble, clean and reassemble. The locking mechanism for the lid on the chopper part is much better than any previous unit we've had. All in all, a high-quality device that I can recommend to everyone. I've only owned it for a month, but so far so good. OCTOBER 2018 continues my previous review. A no-fuss kitchen accessory. Used every morning, we're home. Can't recommend enough.
