Ratings & Reviews for BLACK & DECKER Black Single-Serve Coffee Maker

Excellent product. I use it daily.

I bought this a few years ago to replace a much older B&D model (a "water fill to the top" with coffee basket under the tank, where the basket was worn out). This model ran flawlessly up to a few months ago. Now I have to re-start it once or twice to complete my coffee. The cup it comes with gets cold too fast so I bought a Thermos(RT) model H1005 that exactly fits the coffee maker. From what I can see, there must be a build up of "stuff" from hard water that is causing the need to restart latel...

Stopped working after a few months

I have had this coffee maker for a few months. Was working fine, except splashes coffee on the counter when brewing. This past week it stopped brewing half way through the cycle. Every morning I have to restart the maker a 2nd time to finish brewing. Disappointed.

Perfect size.

I love the coffee maker. Coffee gets very hot... PERFECT... The only problem I have and it is npt really a problem is that the insulated cup is not so insulated. It gets too hot to hold. I just switched and got another insulated cup. Problem solved.

Use it every day

I bought my coffee maker 3 years ago. I use it every day at least 4 times a day. It is reliable and consistent. I use regular coffee grounds so it is economical and I get fresh brewed coffee instead of coffee that has been sitting. I would never pay for those little pod things. I am going to buy another B&D just as backup.

Very reliable. It is always in my suit case...

...until I have to travel to the 220/240V environment. Please create a dual voltage coffee maker. Then then the B&D SSCM will never leave my suit case. Until then, I must suffer inferior substitutes. Your Loyal Customer, Jerome Loftus

Very good product until lately

Hadthe product for about seven months and it worked well until lately. The water does not empty completely and I have to restart a couple of times to get a complete cup. Thought it was a case of it's dirty, but seems to be a product defect. Not a heavy coffee drinker, so I don't know why its not working so early.

Q Trooper

The old ones must have been made better. We have used this daily for at least 5 or 6 years with no problems.

Great little coffee maker except for the mug.

I bought several of these for myself and family members. They work fine except the mugs leak and if you put them in the dishwasher on the top shelf they get water in between the outer and inner liners. They get the water inside even if you put them in the sink in water and try to wash them. They also drip when you try to drink from them. Had to purchase other mugs to use because of this. Would be a great idea if they would fix this issue and provide all stainless mugs that didn't have plastic in...

LOVE IT!

I've had mine for about a year now...I use it every day and no problems I LOVE that it makes a strong hot LARGE cup of coffee. It's better than the flexbrew or keurig that I tried plus less expensive PLEASE PLEASE KEEP MAKING THESE!!!!

Great to take on vacation

I bought this model for taking on vacations where there is no coffee pot. But even if I had a pot in the room, I still use this. So many times I just wanted hot water and used the hotel coffee pot and it came out brown. Also it is small size and it travels well.

Great coffee maker

I bought it a month ago and I'm so happy that I did!

Very Handy

I've owned the single coffee maker for about a month. I am the only coffee drinker in the house unless we have company. Then I use a 12 cup machine but during the week I can make fresh coffee every morning and not reheat something. If I need more in the AM, just make another FRESH cup. Also got "points" for using less space on the counter-top!

7 days old

poor quality will be taking this coffee maker back for a refund

Grounds coming through filter

I just bought the CM618 today, trying to stop using k-cups. I put loose coffee into the filter and brew it into my own ceramic mug and TONS of grounds come through the filter into the coffee? Can this machine be used ONLY with the travel mug that came with it? Or with a special kind of coffee? Help!

Fantastic coffee....for a while

Price is right & it made better coffee than a Keurig...till it died 9 months after purchasing. Cleaned with vinegar & water a few times but it didn't seem to make a difference. I miss it!

Love Love Love the one cup.

BEWARE ALL. I have been buying one cup machines for about 10 years now. One craps out but a new one. Well I leave mine plugged in. That won't happen anymore. They TURN ON by themselves. Getting a wake up call at 2am from my coffee pot being on is not cool. & the machine is ridiculously hot.

Decent

I bought this in September. I am only one person and do not need to make a whole pot of coffee so I thought this would be great. And at first it was. Now brewing is unreliable. Sometimes it is very strong and other weak. I have tried with exact measurements and it comes out different every time. This makes me not even want to use it. Sometimes it also leaks water out of the bottom creating a very big mess. If brewing didn't get bad it would be perfect.

Well worth the price!!

I've had this model for over 2 years and it still works great. I use my personal mug with a handle. So far it has only shut off 2-3 times prematurely.

Got rid of my disc brewer after buying this.

Use this item daily for over a year now and have never had any types of leaks that the other posters have complained about. Honestly I threw away the travel mug that came with it because I only use the Contigo auto seal travel mugs and the regular size of the Contigo fits perfect. The coffee maker has enough water capacity to easily fill my mug with little extra to spare. The coffee basket is also large enough to handle the 3 or 4 scoops of coffee I NEED early in am.

Coffeemaker works fine, cup leaks badly

I purchased this from Kohl's. Straight from the box, it brewed perfectly fine. Is a little messy and kind of a pain to clean up, but I don't mind. I do, however, mind that the cup comes with NO SEAL for the lid! There is literally nothing to stop it from leaking right out and all down your front! I can put my mouth up to the side and blow air into the cup between the cup and lid. Really disappointed. I generally like Black & Decker products. I can use the cup...without a lid...which sort of defe...
