The Black & Decker DCM675BMT 5 Cup Programmable Coffee Maker is complete with features essential for a coffee maker of its price. The thermal carafe and the hot plate keeps your coffee fresh for hours. Like most coffee makers nowadays, the hot plate on the other hand, turns off automatically after 2 hours, as an added security feature.
What’s also nice about the Black & Decker DCM675BMT 5 Cup Programmable Coffee Maker is its cord storage. This helps keep your kitchen counter neatly organized and clutter free. You need not confuse yourself as well with spaghetti of cords, and get confused on which one goes with the microwave, the toaster or the coffee maker. You can wind up the cord and store it after use.
The digital clock and timer is very easy to program. Although you will have to of course re-program everything in cases of power shortage. Not really bothersome anyway, considering that it’s not at all difficult to do.
There are some things that Black & Decker could certainly improve on this model though. For one, the carafe is thin and is not insulated. Next to that, the black control panel and the thin water window makes it difficult for older folks or those that have sight problems to check on the water level. The pouring lip is flat, which is better off tapered. Thus, you have to pour slowly otherwise, you’d end up with a lot of coffee drips on the table.
