Bare-Bones Basic,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Black & Decker DCM600B 5-Cup Coffeemaker, Black (Kitchen)
OK, I bought this item and have been using it daily for three weeks. This is a completely no-frills device, but it makes coffee...v-e-r-y slowly (make sure you get it going with enough time before you need to pour your coffee). There's no timer to let you set it the night before. It does have two holes in the back of the water tank to let water spill out if you try to fill it with more water than the carafe can hold. So, to keep it from spilling coffee on your counter it just immediately spills water onto your counter. This becomes somewhat complicated since the entire coffee-maker is black. If the area behind the coffee-maker is dark, you won't be able to see the overflow holes so you won't know when to stop pouring water. Sure, there is a measure on the side, but it is black, everything is black, and you will have to put your face right up against the side to see where the water level is, and look from different angles until you catch the light just the right way so you can read the indicator. I just shine a flashlight into the water tank.
On the positive side, I find that I can also use it to heat enough water (while inserting no coffee) to use it for making oatmeal. I think with time I could think of enough uses to make an infomercial about how it is a versatile kitchen tool, but it really is just a basic basic basic coffee-maker. If I had it to do over again I would spend a little more money and get a programmable coffee-make with a larger carafe that has an automatic turn-off. Those additional features are not that expensive any more but really come in handy (i.e. over the last three weeks I have wished many times that I had those features).

This review is from: Black & Decker DCM600B 5-Cup Coffeemaker, Black (Kitchen)
I FIND THE B&D -DCM 600B ,5 CUP COFFEE MAKER VERY GOOD,THE ONLY THING MISSING IS AN AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF. IF YOU LEAVE IT ON WITH A SMALL AMOUNT OF COFFEE IN THE CONTAINER IT WOULD DRY OUT ,AND BURN OUT THE UNIT. I GUESS THIS ONLY COMES WITH THE MORE EXPENSIVE UNITS. I LIKE THE UNIT VERY MUCH FOR ONE OR TWO CUPS OF COFFEE IN THE MORNING. A.A.D. CAMBRIDGE,MA. AUG.2010

lousy design,
This review is from: Black & Decker DCM600B 5-Cup Coffeemaker, Black (Kitchen)
I got one of these for Christmas. It's junk. When you open the lid to remove the grounds, steam spurts out unpredictably onto your hand or into your face. The carafe dribbles coffee on the counter when you pour.
