Product Description
Is coffee a beverage? Loosely defined, yes. Coffee is like Tea, an infusion of the a coffee bean's qualities like those of tea leaves, with hot, boiling water. The best example might be a French Press coffeemaker. Brew the perfect cup of coffee at exactly the right temperature for just the right amount of time. It's as simple as brewing water. The VB100 takes the purity of the French Press and the efficiency of the Drip to develop a simple method of capturing maximum coffee flavor easily for a delicious coffee.

Much better that the Bodum! LOVE IT!,
By Berceto Coffee "Discover Fresh Roasted Coffee" (Huntington, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Black & Decker VB100 Vacuum Brew 10-Cup Coffeemaker (Kitchen)
I relucantly bought this Black and Decker pot after my (Starbucks Utopia) Bodum died. I've never been a big fan of B&D. I have to say, I am VERY pleased with this pot! Every single thing that annoyed me my about the Bodum seemed to be addressed with this B&D pot! It has a nice pouring spout, the funnel has a handle, the top of the pot has a separate cover-which at first I thought was dumb, but turns out to be a much better design since I would spill coffee all over the place with my Utopia when I poured too fast, and since the cover flips back for brewing, I eventually snapped it off my accident. The B&D cover stays on nice and tight.
The B&D makes GREAT coffee! We are big coffee drinkers in this house-I also own a coffee roasting business(www.bercetocoffee.com), so we really enjoy a good cup of coffee or two, or three, or four :) It is SO easy to use and to clean! I'm not sure why people complain about cleaning it. Just dump the grinds onto a paper plate or a paper towel or right into the garbage, throw them out and rinse the funnel. Once you use this type of pot, you will never use the drip type again. It's just as good as our press pot (which we don't use now that we have this) Buy it, you'll love it.

You can't get closer to coffee house brew,
By Jay Riemenschneider (Roswell, GA United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Black & Decker VB100 Vacuum Brew 10-Cup Coffeemaker (Kitchen)
I have waited to write my review so I could make sure this thing was working out well. I have been in search of the perfect cup of coffee for years and have determined that you cannot beat Pete's or Starbucks in flavor. Since I am not going to spend $2-$3 per day on coffee, I had to find another option. I've tried countless coffee makers, cone shaped and drip, french presses and pouring boiling water through a cone filter that sits on a coffee cup. French presses work pretty well, but I found they let too much sediment pass through the screen and I wanted to filter it afterward. By the time I was done the coffee wasn't very hot anymore. Also using boiling water isn't the best thing for making smooth coffee. This product does the hard part for you perfectly. You supply good coffee and water and it will make sure to heat the water to the perfect extraction temp (about 195 degrees), keep the water in contact with the grounds for 4 minutes and filter out MOST of the sediment. You end up with about the best cup of coffee you can brew at home and the price of this unit is a fraction of the cost of the ones they sell at Starbucks. This is not the easiest way to make coffee, however. It's not fast and clean up is a hassle. I don't mind the hassle because I'm getting great results, but if you don't want to be bothered, stick to drip coffee makers, but make sure you get one that heats the water to the proper temp.

Excellent Coffee,
By Maryland Mom (Rockville, MD) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Black & Decker VB100 Vacuum Brew 10-Cup Coffeemaker (Kitchen)
First, this coffee maker makes the BEST coffee. Everyone always comments on my wonderful coffee. It's better than Starbucks or any other coffeehouse.
However, there are some things one should be aware of.... 1. You need to have very fine-ground beans. You can either buy whole and do yourself, but if you buy canned coffee, you'll need to further grind yourself at home. 2. You need to use a higher coffee to water ratio than you would with an automatic drip brew. It takes a little trial and error to figure out. 3. Once you get used to it, it's very easy to use, but it doesn take getting used to. 4. We've had this coffemaker just over a year, and certainly does not look as unique and flashy as it did when we first got it. The plastic carafe is scratched and faded over time and use. It is starting to look like some odd contraption that takes up too much counterspace! That is why i am giving it four stars - the plastic just looks old and worn (the numbers and lines for the cups of water on the carafe have all worn away). So, if you want great coffee, this is the machine. If counterspace and looks are an issue, then this is not the machine.
