Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Black & Decker DCM500B SmartBrew 5-Cup Coffeemaker, Black
Customer Review: Black & Decker 5-cup brew
Summary: 1 Stars
This is one of the worst products, that I have ever purchased. The pot leaks, whenever you pour. If it were not for the fact that I have thrown away the box, I would return it in a NewYork minute.Customer Review: Loud AND Drippy
Summary: 3 Stars
This little coffeemaker works okay, but it's VERY loud--you'd think it was brewing coffee for an army. My main problem with it is the pot drips badly when I pour. There are pots out there that don't drip; you'd think that somewhere out there was engineering information that would ensure a dripless pot.Customer Review: Mediocre coffee maker
Summary: 3 Stars
I like the Smartbrew for the size, but the carafe is cheap and broke easily after I turned it over and placed it on the counter on a paper towel to dry. Better yet, they don't sell 5 cup replacement carafes anywhere so I'm stuck with a coffeemaker and no carafe. Very frustrating!Customer Review: SmartBrew a dumb purchase
Summary: 1 Stars
While the price is right, it brews a quick cup of joe, and its has a little more capacity than most 4-cup machines, thats about where the good news ends. My machine's heating element just crapped out after 5 months of use. Its under warranty, but I am just going out to buy a different brand. I find this unit is messy. The caraffe doesn't pour as well as the Mr Coffee I had for 3 years. Its ok if you pour very slowly, but if you are a little too fast you'll get liquid on the counter. While brewing, the lid is flimsy enough that it pushes up enough to release a lot of steam, which over time will ruin the finish on your cabinets. I also notice that if the warmer plate is left on more than about an hour, my countertop becomes extremely warm. I believe the bottom of the unit lacks sufficient height for proper air circulation. Rather than wreck your kitchen or burn the house down....buy another product!Customer Review: An excellent buy
Summary: 4 Stars
This inexpensive coffeemaker performs very well. Its easy to fill and the glass flask pours without spilling. My only quarrel is that the off/on switch is not very pretty and glows red rather than green when it is on.
