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

I like this coffee pot. It's easy to use and easy to clean, and makes delicious coffee too. As far as I can tell, this is the only coffee pot that doesn't need to be disassembled and cleaned once a week to keep it from getting stuck, and I really like that. But if you buy one, be aware that the standard, readily available replacement carafe will not fit. So if you break the jug, you'll have to call Black & Decker for a replacement at double the price of a standard replacement jug. and wait a…

I'm not a big reviewer but this car sucks. It made a good cup of coffee, but unless you plan on replacing it every few months, you'll be disappointed. I bought my first one in March. In April it was decided to make coffee for 25 minutes. Can return it honey The next one comes and works fine for 4 months. I notice that the lettering on the carafe is melting and peeling off. OK, I'll take care of it. I've heard of a leak with the device and people blaming the decanter for leveling. Not this case.

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

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…

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…

I have no hesitation in saying this is the best coffee maker we have had in 30 years. who knows their coffee. The car is surprisingly well built and heavy. It has more settings than I've probably ever used, but it's very easy to program. You just have to read the instructions. It's easy to use, easy to clean, well built and makes AMAZING coffee. There are also settings to adjust the strength of your drink. No hiss and pops like other 70's brands like Mr Coffee and it doesn't leak! We haven't…

I rarely check the things we buy, but this coffee maker is insanely good. He replaced Cuisinart Grind N Brew, who died a few years later. The grinding mechanism of this Black+Decker model is located in the filter basket (rather than in a separate grind container), so you only have to clean half as many parts after each brew. Spending 3 minutes a day cleaning my coffee machine is definitely a first world problem, but it's nice not having to do it now. The grinder is also significantly quieter…

I was looking for a replacement for my favorite Melitta, which finally broke after 12 years. Unfortunately, Melitta decided a long time ago to no longer produce its own coffee machines. Melitta had a much better designed grinding chamber than its main competitor, Cusinart Grind and Brew (which you can still buy - I had one for many years before stumbling across my beloved Melitta). The grinder in the Crusinart is very difficult to clean (which has to be done after each pot. Also, the coffee…

I noticed that there are two types of reviews here. those who love the car immediately after purchase and those who, like me, return within a few months of purchase when overall defects become an issue. Judging by the numerous negative reviews, it is obvious that there were some flaws in the design of this coffee maker. It looks like one of them has been fixed (a vape issue that one reviewer fixed with a bottle cap), while the others haven't. There was a time when Black & Decker stood for…
