    Piece of junk

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jan 16, 2008 | 18 out of 20 found this Black & Decker DCM2500 review helpful

    Pros: programmable

    Cons: carafe does not pour

    water and coffee go everywhere. Filter basket does not sit well on carafe and sometimes the sneak-a-cup feature is activated causing coffee to over flow the filter basket--what a mess. Hot plate begins to rust almost immediately and B&D will not hono...r warranty. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY!! Read more Less

    Overrated coffee maker

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 29, 2008 | 8 out of 9 found this Black & Decker DCM2500 review helpful

    Pros: Makes a decent cup of coffee

    Cons: cheap plastic body leaks

    It's hard to find a good, reliable, long-lasting coffee maker these days. I have a black model, with a gold basket replacing the paper filters. I've had problems with the auto shut-off not working correctly and flooding the basket; grounds fl...oated everywhere and it ran onto the counter. But the biggest problem is leakage. My coffee maker leaks when I put in water and let it sit overnight with the timer on. I noticed that I only got about half a cup, and then found a puddle of water on the countertop. This is the top-rated coffee maker in Consumer Reports, but I found it to not be durable. Read more Less

    Our 2nd B&D

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 15, 2008 | 5 out of 6 found this Black & Decker DCM2500 review helpful

    Pros: All you need for simple good coffee

    Cons: It quit days after Warranty expired

    Our first one, in black ran good for a year, then quit.

    Our second, in white ran good for three months before refusing to heat up.

    Black and Decker DCM2500

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 5, 2009 | 3 out of 4 found this Black & Decker DCM2500 review helpful

    Pros: The sneak-a-cup feature is great when you're in a hurry

    Cons: The timer can be tricky to work

    I've had mine for a while now and it's the best coffeemaker I've had yet. It brews great coffee, and is easy to clean and take care of.

    Best value for the price

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 7, 2009 | 1 out of 1 found this Black & Decker DCM2500 review helpful

    Pros: Good design,

    Cons: None

    This is our 4th or 5th B&D coffeemaker of this design. It's the best value for the price. I love the stealing of a first cup full of aroma. The new models have a better pot design that does not leak when pouring the water into the coffee maker. T...he auto shut down is great and prevents coffee from getting too old or burnt to the bottom of the pot after all the water evaporates. It's true, the heating elements only last about a year with daily use but what do you want for a low low price. Go to Walmart and get a new one.If it fails before the warranty expires, B&D service is great, just call, give them the code that is stamped into the plug and a new coffeemaker is on it's way.

    Wonderful

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 5, 2009 | 1 out of 1 found this Black & Decker DCM2500 review helpful

    Pros: Makes good coffee !

    Cons: none

    This is your basic coffee maker and it works just fine ... don't know what all the griping is about. And I paid $14.95 which makes it a steal, it has worked for 3 years and still going strong.

    Got what I paid for

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 5, 2009 | 1 out of 1 found this Black & Decker DCM2500 review helpful

    Pros: It makes good coffee

    Cons: to many features, for this price all I want is on/off

    I have had $200.00+ coffee makes and this unit, I got to say the net result--coffee form this maker is good. They burn out in a year or so, and I have had about three. But my $200.00 went out a little after a year, and made no better coffee. Hey for ...the money it is a great value. Read more Less

    THIS IS THE ONE

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 5, 2009 | 1 out of 1 found this Black & Decker DCM2500 review helpful

    Pros: Sneak-a-cup before done brewing

    Cons: None

    This is my second Black & Decker! My boyfriend accidently broke the first. We immediately ran out, replacing with identical maker because of our overwhelming satisfaction & confidence in this model. We love the features. We love the coffee!

    coffee maker

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 5, 2009 | 1 out of 2 found this Black & Decker DCM2500 review helpful

    Pros: makes coffee!!!

    Cons: works most of the time

    This is most certainly not pour perfect. Coffee goes everywhere, I have to pour over the sink. It seems cheaply made. I remove the pot to pour a cup,and when I try to put the carafe back it doesn't seem to want to go properly. There have been a f...ew times I turned it on and it didn't work. However,when I turned it off and back on it was ok. Coffee also doesn't seem to remain hot for long. So far. Hey it wasn't expensive (it was on sale when I bought it) so you get what you pay for.

    Disappointed about CR's Best Buy

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 13, 2008 | 1 out of 2 found this Black & Decker DCM2500 review helpful

    Pros: Brewed coffee once a day for 9 months

    Cons: Quit working after 9 months

    What on earth! Consumer Reports needs to correct this "Best Buy" rating. Don't purchase it.
