BLACK+DECKER 5-Cup Programmable Coffee Maker | Compact 5-cup coffee maker with Vortex brewing, Sneak-A-Cup and programmable auto brew.

I’m really impressed with the BLACK+DECKER Split Brew Coffee Maker. It strikes the perfect balance between convenience and customization. Whether I’m making a full pot for the household or just grabbing a quick single cup before a meeting, this machine handles it all effortlessly. The setup was super easy, and the controls are intuitive. I love the flexibility of brewing just one cup without having to use pods — a major money-saver and better for the environment. The full 12-cup carafe works great when I have guests or a long workday ahead. Brewing is fast, and the coffee tastes rich and smooth every time. The sleek design also looks great on my counter without taking up too much space. The auto shut-off and programmable timer are thoughtful touches that make mornings smoother. If you’re looking for a reliable, stylish, and flexible coffee maker for home or office, this one’s a winner!

Absolutely love this coffee maker. I thought it was a joke to actually have a hot/cold option but it truly works and is so cool. Best Buy!

Love this coffe maker, so easy & easy to clean, my keurig was fussy

Glass pot seems too thin and broke after a week. Love the coffee maker itself. Bought a sturdier replacement pot and am very happy.

I love this coffee maker. It is easy to use and the brew time does not take forever. We have used the cold brew option only a handful of times (will use it more as the warmer weather gets here) but loved it. It is nice to have the option to make hot or cold coffee. We have had it quite awhile and it is reliable. Recommend.

After three years, my old Black & Decker coffeemaker finally gave out. It started leaking water from the bottom. So, I decided to repurchase the same brand of coffee maker. Other than it breaking down, my coffee brew was pretty good with the old machine. I went to Amazon, my original place of purchase for the coffee machine. I noticed they had an upgraded version of the coffee machine. The new coffee maker had an option to brew iced coffee. Being that the summer is around the corner in my neck of the woods. I decided to buy this new upgraded version of the Black % Decker coffee maker. After receiving my new coffee maker, I was so excited to try a brew of iced coffee that I immediately went to try and make some. I plugged the machine into my power strip, and I got a surprise. My lights went out with a nice little spark from the power strip. Did I mention that it was 85 degrees that day? Not including the humidity. Anyway, lucky for me, I have a circuit breaker in the house. Also, lucky for me, my brand-new coffee maker did not get damaged. I do not know what caused the spark after plugging in the coffee maker. So, I decided not to try my luck again and plugged the coffee maker directly into the outlet on the wall. No sparks this time. I apologize for dragging on this review. But I wanted to describe my user experience first. Now, on to the iced coffee. I followed the instructions on making the iced coffee, but my iced coffee did not meet my expectations. It came out too watered down. I haven't tried to brew another batch of iced coffee since that day. I am sure I probably put too much ice in the pot. Even though I followed the guide on how much ice to put in the coffee. Anyway, as expected, my regular coffee came out tasting as good as the old machine's brew. I have no complaints there. The coffee maker is a bit larger than my old machine. So, it does take a bit more room on top of my countertop. The coffee maker has all the bells and whistles you would expect from a coffee maker. It has a brew later feature for setting your pot of coffee to be made at a set hour. I like to set mine to brew my pot of coffee before I get up in the morning to go to work. The coffee maker, as I mentioned, has an Iced coffee button. Although my experience with that was not good. Other users might have a different experience. It also has a strong coffee button. For those of you who like your coffee strong, such as me. So, if you are shopping for a coffee maker, you will not go wrong with this Black & Decker coffee maker. I can definitely recommend it.

I only drink one or two cups of coffee a day but was tired of k cups. Love this coffee maker. Have used the Cole brew much more than expected. Also set it at night and coffee ready when I wake up.

I'm a barista but made coffee at home long before I started. I am personally a fan of the simple but effective coffee machines, I don't want to bring my work home with an advanced machine home setup. I love iced coffee, especially strong, and this really is a great cup. Since you put ice in the pitcher right before brewing, the coffee bitterness is lowered significantly, most of the time I can't do that because the pitcher is too small. The hot coffee measurements on the side are pretty accurate too, there are measurements to follow in the owner's manual. I followed them and they worked out great with a medium roast, and dark too. The cleaning cycle takes a bit to get used to but there's no cleaning tabs, just a vinegar water mixture, and the machine cycles itself. Dishwasher safe for the removable parts is great. You can also remove the pitcher to get a cup of coffee during the cycle and it does have a good sensor, stops and restarts quickly. Brewed the 8 cups of coffee in about 15 mins, but a single cup was ready probably 5 minutes in, including water heating time. I haven't had it long so can't speak on longevity. But as an engineer now since retiring from barista, I can say it is well-thought out as a design and you get used to the button setup. Simple is better for drip coffee, when you're making it half asleep in the morning who wants to deal with it, but this does its job well! You can even set a time for it to be ready in the morning the night before, haven't tried that feature yet but good option.
