Single Serve Coffeemaker, Black

This works well. It has a button to start and turns itself off when finished. The instructions says that you can use paper coffee packets but they are hard to find and not available in my preferred brand. I use paper filters but the reusable filter also works. The coffee is delicious is ready in less than 3 minutes. It is perfect when we just want a cup rather than a pot of coffee.

Overthinkers and over researchers: This review is for you. I spent weeks researching single serve coffee makers about 15 months ago. Why? Because that’s what I do. If you’re on the fence, PLEASE read this and just order it. It’s worth it, spend the research time thinking about something else. Background: I’m no coffee snob. Too lazy and apathetic for a French press; I usually throw some Folgers in a goodwill or hand-me-down coffee maker and move on with my life. If you truly care about all the intricacies that coffee enthusiasts are passionate about, this probably isn’t the machine for you. I moved into an apartment with not a ton of counter space, and as a single (yet very eligible) bachelor, I wanted something easy and cheap that got the job done. I started mainly looked at coffee makers that were k cup compatible, but ultimately decided against it as the cost per cup is much higher with the k cups, and they take up more storage space in my cupboards. Plus, I like being able to control how much coffee grounds I use. I went with this one for a few reasons: 1) Small footprint 2) Brews more than most pod coffeemakers (16oz vs usually 12oz) 3) Came with a mug 4) Got one used here on Amazon on sale for $18 I’ve been using it almost daily for about 15 months now, and it shows no signs of slowing down. Just throw water in it, put some grounds in (I use a leftover protein powder scoop that is the perfect size), and hit the switch. I have tried the Italian coffee brand coffee pads that are great if you prefer, and are cheaper than K cups. I timed brewing it with a full ~16oz mug for this review. Just under 2 minutes and 45 seconds until it shut itself off and I had a cup of piping hot coffee. I think it’ll drip a few seconds afterwards, idk. I don’t pay enough attention. Tip: to clean the grounds from the filter easily, I take both the filter and the plastic holder underneath it out together, dump the grounds down the garbage disposal, and cover the drain hole with my finger while filling and dumping out water to rinse out the ground remnants. Every so often, I throw the entire coffee maker in the dishwasher to clean it. I was concerned that none of my mugs would fit. Turns out all of them did except one bulky plastic mug. If it’s under ~7 inches tall, it’ll fit just fine. I have a sunwill 20oz mug from here that fits perfectly, and an Ozark trail mug from Walmart that fits great as well. One or two of my mugs have very wide bases that sit a little tilted because of the size of the bottom of the coffee maker, but it does not spill or hold any less liquid as a result and is still stable. I’ll throw in a pic with all the mugs I have that are compatible for reference. I recently thought about replacing this and revisiting the thought of buying a machine compatible with k-cups. After researching this (again), I have decided once again to stick with the B&D. It’s small, isn’t full of stupid features I won’t use, and is not noteworthy in any way — just dump grounds/water in, wait a few minutes, and move on with your day without even thinking about it. How it should be. I wish I could write more about it, but I’m out of stuff to say. It’s easy, it works great, and that’s it. Buy it. It’s a great value and does what it needs to do without any extra fuss. Take the extra money you saved and buy yourself a case of beer. You deserve it. Edit: September 2025 - still going strong. I accidentally broke the little plastic fastener piece to the top/lid, so I just removed it. Still works fine without it. Very satisfied.

For under 30 dollars this is a great little single cup drip coffee maker. Also works great with the little paper filters I bought to go with it...and makes cleanup easier. The brewed coffee is nice and hot. The one major downside, for me anyway, is you must be aware the once you plug the machine in the heating elements start heating. Water or no water. If you plug in before adding water, you will notice the hissing and sizzling as you pour the water in. Manual does not mention this. So, when making coffee, pour water in, plug in, brew, then unplug until you are ready to brew again.

Really love it. Easy to use, however as soon as you’re done brewing a cup, I would advise that you would lift the top lid to let the heat out because if you don’t, then the next cup will be bitter.

I recently purchased the BLACK+DECKER CM618 Single Serve Coffee Maker, and unfortunately, my experience has been quite disappointing. I chose this model based on its price point and the brand's reputation, but it seems that quality was sacrificed for affordability. Initially, I was hopeful that this coffee maker would serve my needs for a quick and convenient cup of coffee. However, after just three uses, the tab used to pick up the coffee filter broke, rendering the machine nearly unusable. I understand that this is not a high-end model, but I expected better durability, especially from a brand like BLACK+DECKER, which has been known for its reliability in other products. The coffee maker's performance was mediocre at best. While it brewed a decent cup of coffee, the hassle of having to deal with a broken component overshadowed any positives. I found myself frustrated with the design and functionality, leading me to question the overall quality control that went into this product. Instead of going through the hassle of returning it—especially since I had already used it—I opted to purchase a different brand locally. I genuinely felt that this coffee maker was a waste of money and did not live up to my expectations. It’s disappointing to see a well-known brand offer a product that doesn’t meet even basic standards of longevity and usability. In conclusion, I cannot recommend the BLACK+DECKER CM618 Single Serve Coffee Maker. If you’re looking for a reliable single-serve option, I would suggest exploring other brands that prioritize quality and customer satisfaction. This experience has left me feeling let down, and I won’t be considering BLACK+DECKER for my coffee needs in the future. Save yourself the trouble and invest in a more durable option.

La cafetera venia con lo que se ve en las imagenes, todo super bien empacado, muy bien cuidado, cada pieza envuelta en plastico y carton. La cafetera es pequena, sirve para preparar exactamente la medida del vaso que viene incluido. El cafe, al menos a mi que no soy un experto catador de cafe, me parecio que no se quemo. Pros: - Practicidad, la cafetera es muy pequena (29x29x15cm), cabe en cualquier lado, ademas el vaso que incluye tiene una tapa y queda perfecto en el portavasos del auto - El cafe se prepara super rapido, en menos de 5 min el vaso ya esta listo - Tiene un filtro permanente lavable y de buena calidad, se ve durable - Al ser tan pequena es facil de limpiar - Tiene apagado automatico, al terminar su ciclo deja de funcionar. - La puedes usar para preparar Te, ya sea meter las bolsitas directo en el filtro o, lo que yo hice, abrir las bolsitas, sacar las hojas de te y vaciarlas en el filtro, el resultado es excelente Contras: - La longitud del cable de corriente, es de apenas 60 cm, corto a mi parecer - El vaso es de puro plastico, no me da mucha confianza ya que las primeras veces, con el agua tan caliente, emite un olor extrano, me imagino que con el uso ira desapareciendo, igualmente yo solo lo uso para prepararlo, despues lo paso a mi otro vaso metalico. El vaso que incluye mide 17cm de alto y 8.5 cm de diametro, cualquier vaso con esas medidas queda perfecto para preparar directamente. - El boton de encendido solo tiene 1 estado, una vez que llenas el tanque de agua, pones el cafe, presionas el boton (Que no parece boton) y no se detendra hasta que termine su ciclo, es decir, no la puedes detener a media preparacion a menos que la desconectes, este boton me parece algo extrano, a primera vista pareciera que esta defectuoso pero funciona.

RVerTVというYoutubeチャンネルで御主人様がアメリカ合衆国内を旅する車内にて使っておられるのを見て買う事にしました。 旅する車内で面倒くさいものを使い続ける訳ないと判断しました。 飲む量の水を注ぎだけで出来上がります。 最高です。 注意点は、電源プラグが120Vの接地用プラグが付いており、壁コンセントにしか、はまらないので、基本壁コンセント利用を考えましょう。 それと120V電圧での動作対応のため、日本の100V環境では、熱、熱には、仕上がりません。 私には逆にこれが良かったです。 すぐに飲めます。 洗いも簡単、コーヒーを均等に修正するのも簡単です。 watch RVerTV drinking cup of tea

So far so good! Super handy. I got it on sale for $20. Easy to use. The 3 tbsp / 2 soft pod coffee grounds limit is super high, probably for very coarse grind. I get a perfect serving from 2 tbsp of my go-to NoName decaf (giant yellow container). When I use espresso grind (Lavazza) 1 tbsp is plenty. I use the included tumbler just to easily measure out the right amount of water, and perc into a Starbucks tall cup (about the same dimensions). If there isn't quite enough coffee in the cup, it's super easy to add a bit more water to the reservoir and turn on the unit to run it through. It has shut off for me consistently each time it runs out of water. I still pull the plug when I'm done just in case. You do need to line up everything in the filter assembly for it to stop properly, but that's like any coffee maker. Just read the directions once! If you want instant coffee, well.. buy instant coffee or an espresso maker. No drip coffee maker will be super quick. This takes exactly as much time as I'd expect any other machine to take, proportionate to the amount it makes. I love this thing so far. And if you make a mess the first time, it rinses out just fine under the tap.

無骨な初代機をもっていたけれど、さすがに15年使っていたら調子が悪い時があるので、こちらを買ってみました。 今時の持ち歩きマグサイズに背が高くなっています。 これでもか、と気の利いた仕様をつける日本のものと一味違う使い勝手で気に入ってます。が、初代機の無骨さの方が好きです。
