5-Cup Coffeemaker, DCM600B Black

This little coffee maker is exactly what I wanted. I’ve evaluated a few others, and each had at least one issue that was a dealbreaker for me. Here’s some info on this model to help you figure out if it’s right for you: Fully accessible water reservoir that can be viewed and periodically brush-cleaned thoroughly (this important feature can be hard to find in so-called “5-cup” coffee makers; #MoldyBiofilm) (Note: in the coffee-maker world, “5-cup“ really means about 24 ounces). A carafe that pours cleanly without drizzling or dripping — really Works fast (6 minutes for “3 cups”; 8.5 minutes for “5 cups” ) to make good coffee at the right temperature (165°F, according to my tests) If you fill the water to the “3-cup“ water line, you get ~ 16 ounces of coffee (to me, that’s perfect for one generous thermal mug of coffee) If you fill the water to the “5-cup“ (maximum) water line, you get ~ 24 ounces of coffee In my experience, for a moderately strong brew, the perfect proportion of ground coffee to water for this model is 5 tablespoons of ground beans (that’s one generously heaped standard coffee scoop) to 17 ounces of water (that’s the “3-cup” water fill line) (Note: I use Peet’s Medium Roast) Some things you might not like about this model, although they don’t bother me: Coffee flow does not stop if you remove the pot mid-brew. (The brew times I list above take into account that all water must’ have moved the system before you pour your cup.) This is a simple machine with no extra bells or whistles. No delayed brew, no timer, etc. Good luck with your search!

No clock, no frills, no bells and whistles, no multiple settings/options. Just great coffee without the distractions. It’s also compact and won’t overwhelm your counter. Only had it a week, so can’t comment about durability, but being so simple, and seemingly well made, I’m guessing it will last a long while.

This is a very basic small coffee maker. No frills…just coffee. Easy to prepare, easy to clean, 8/10 coffee. Only 1 negative comment: it’s loud as it finishes making a pot of coffee. A loud slurping noise as it’s sucking up the last of the water from the reservoir…an annoying sound at 5:30AM. But I guess for $20, you shouldn’t expect barista quality.

Only have had this a few days, so I can't speak to its longevity, but so far, I have this to report: Brews a great cup of coffee (same bag of coffee, same amount, but better taste than the old maker, one wonders how that can be?), pretty quiet and fast, carafe doesn't drip when pouring water into the water tank or when pouring coffee into a cup, cup markers a pretty easy to read on both carafe and water tank. Hope it lasts.

Good for the price and has a good shower head.

This is a very basic coffee maker. It doesn't have a control panel or a computer. It doesn't think it's smarter than me and turn off when it thinks I've had enough or anything like that. It has an ON and OFF switch. I used a 24 hour timer that I bought online for $6.99 so it turns on when I decide and off when I decide. You can make up to 12 cups of coffee (which turns out to be 8 normal mugs) as weak or strong as you want and the only waste product is a bio-degradable paper filter that was made from recycled product in the first place. This is coffee like your fathers drank before then went to work building the skyscrapers and freeways and utility systems that are the foundation of our society - in Hollynut, Irish Wisk, Basil, Thyme and frillyBisk coffee in an environmentally destructive single serving cup before you shuffle back to the bedroom still in your PJs to continue your career as an "influencer."

Great for coffee and tea lovers, used it up until it broke 😅 Lol it accidentally got overflowed and burned out. Luckily for us, we were gifted a new one for Christmas a couple years ago and still using it 👍 Leakproof if you do NOT overflow it with either too much water or coffee. We put at two medium scoops because the water rises it when brewing.

This BLACK+DECKER coffee maker is super easy to use and brews a perfect pot every time. I used it to make my morning coffee before work, and the non-drip carafe made pouring a breeze—no spills at all. The 12-cup size is perfect for my household, and the on/off switch is so simple. It’s reliable, straightforward, and makes mornings way better!
