Product Description
Black & Decker SmartBrew coffeemaker in black. Includes 12-cup capacity, lighted on/off switch, removable brew basket, water window, cord storage and Perfect Pour carafe.Amazon.com Review
This is one programmable coffeemaker that's actually very easy to program. The touch-pad buttons are intuitive, and the printed directions clear, so there's no excuse for not waking up to the aroma of a freshly brewed pot of java. To prepare for making a pot at any hour, the lid lifts up (hinges in rear), exposing the brew basket: add a flat-bottomed paper filter and the ground coffee of your choice. There's ample pour space for water, the level of which you can view through a convenient window on either side. Simply close the lid and push the On button. Auto/On and the clock buttons set the time for delayed start. The most satisfying thing about the glass carafe is that the wide lip pours without a single drip. In addition, the broad bottom on the carafe affords good surface contact with the stay-hot plate for up to two hours; at that point, the machine shuts off automatically for safety. Those who can't wait for a sip before the entire pot is brewed will appreciate the Sneak-a-Cup feature. While the coffeemaker stands 13 inches tall, it must be pulled forward on a counter to clear most cabinets since the raised lid requires 22 inches. The DCM2500B features a sleek hourglass shape, comes in black or white, and is covered by a one-year warranty. The brew basket and carafe are dishwasher-safe in the top rack. --Ann BieriSimilar Products

This is a great simple easy to use and clean coffee maker. Just wish it was a cone or V drip instead of basket style.

I love this coffee maker especially the no drip pouring.I had a cheap coffee maker before this and had more coffee on the counter and floor than in the cup.The timer and clock were very easy to program,I would recommend this coffee maker to any one.

The machine broke after only 4 months of use. As the on/off button no longer works, the piece is essentially useless.

This is a great little coffeepot. The carafe doesn't drip while you are half-blindly pouring the first cup of coffee in the morning, and it's super easy to set up and use. You do need to think about where you are going to put it on the counter, because to fill it with water requires some counter clearance (there is a nice long power cord though). Easy to clean, easy to operate, makes delicious coffee...about the only way they could improve this design would be to have the clock on it automagically know the correct time after a power outage.

Had this for a month now and it is easier to use, and more consistant than the higher cost one it replaced.
Brew time is fairly fast and adding the right amount of water is made easier by the dual water marks on the pot.(One mark tells you how much water to add for the linked amount of brewed coffee.). The warmer keeps it warm but it's noy too hot so as to overcook the potted brew.
The pots no spill feature is a nice touch as is the way the carafe places on the warmer.
Yes it pops a bit when the tank is near empty but, so what. The coffee is what counts.
