Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Black & Decker DCM575 5-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker, White
Customer Review: Pretty good little coffee pot
Summary: 4 Stars
This small footprint coffee pot is just the thing for someone that needs a cup or two in the morning to get started.
I like the coffee filter that comes with the DCM575. I find it easy to fill with coffee grounds and easy to clean in the sink.
Makes about 20 ozs. of coffee when the reservoir is filled. Some water gets lost in the brewing process. I get about 4 1/2 cups when I fill the water reservoir to the 5 cup mark.
Dribbles. I wound up putting my coffee cup in the sink, then pouring the coffee. Easier to clean up the spilled coffee.
Takes about 10 minutes to brew a pot and the coffee tasts good!.
It dribbles because I pour the coffee too fast. If I pour slowly so as not to let the coffee in the pot touch the pot's lid, then the coffee pours nicely without dribbling on the counter or sink.
Died in August 2008. The DCM575 would not start brewing a pot of coffee when I pressed the On button this morning. Heh, good thing I had backup in the guise of a french press pot.
Customer Review: Black and Decker 4 cup
Summary: 4 Stars
This product is just fine, takes little space and just what I wanted for my kitchen. It came with a gold mesh filter, however, this continues to drip and I think paper filters are better in the long run. It is noisy when it brews for a few minutes but that seems a small factor. The primary reason for this purchase was to have a small size product, presumably more energy efficient than a large brewer. I have not used the program feature since I like to grind my beans before brewing.

Customer Review: Coffee Aroma...the best Alarm Clock
Summary: 4 Stars
Except for having to hold the carafe steady to avoid it dripping while you pour, this is the best small capacity programmable coffee maker for me.
And it comes in white which the others do not. Mr Coffee's 4-cup programmable only comes in black. The other manufacturers do not make a programmable coffee maker with less than a 10-Cup capacity. The only aroma therapy I need is the smell of fresh brewed coffee. Thanks Black & Decker.
Customer Review: I like the size!
Summary: 4 Stars
The coffee maker is your regular automatic drip coffee maker. I just wanted something a little bigger that the 4 cup especially when you have an a friend over. The 4 cup just wasn't enough for 2 big cups of coffee and this 5 cup is just perfect. I don't know what size cups they think of when they create the machines but 4 cups is never 4 cups! it's less.
This one works for me.
Customer Review: Black & Decker 5 Cup coffeemaker
Summary: 4 Stars
Great little machine. The only negative is that the gold-tone reusable filter allows some preground coffee though resulting in slug at the bottom of the pot. While I like the size etc., I've taken to using small paper filters instead of the reusable one which is a shame because it was the reusable filter that appealled.
