Black & Decker DCM675BF 5-Cup Drip Coffee Programmable Maker with Permanent Filter

BandD 5C Program CoffeeMaker, Permanent Filter
Customer Review: Great but needs more heat!
For the price and the features, I don't think you can beat this little guy. My only complaint is that the coffee is not as hot as I'd like it to be, even as soon as it's done brewing. It's not hot, more like warm to very warm. Other than that, it's a great little unit. Just the right size, and very user friendly.
Customer Review: Amazing little brewer for cheap! Able to "Potless-Brew!"
Just right for a quick "Single" cup of coffee. I brew directly into the cup so I don't need (or want) the mid-brewing auto-shutoff for pouring during brewing. On units that have temporary brew-stopping device will not brew directly into a mug or cup. Reason is the little spring-loaded shut-off valve is always on "off" when the pot is removed. So, this unit is just great for a pot-less brewing directly into your mug. Great for the one or two people who want decaf when you're brewing a pot of regular. Linens-n-Things has it for $19.95 less 20% if you get their coupons in local flyers. I paid $16.00, amazing. I don't like permanent filters because they retain the coffee oil after brewing and that oil film eventually turns rancid unless you wash the basket after each brewing with detergent to remove the oil. Does anyone know who makes a 4-cup round paper filter for use? I am using a #2 cone filter but it fits sloppily. Suggestions?

Considered one of the most widely found kitchen utensils, the juicer has a conical ridged center that is pressed against a fruit or vegetable to extract its juices. Contemporary juicers are used because squeezing juices from any type of agricultural product can be a messy and difficult process. But as one would wear different types of clothes to attend different types of events, selecting the best juicer for a specific task has to be based on the particular needs it will serve.

Mainly used as part of the food preparation process, juicers help people squeeze the juice out from the soft-centered citrus fruits, like orange, lemon, lime or grapefruit. By cutting those in half and then pressing down their inner surface against the conical ridged center of a juicer, the necessary amount of juice is extracted to be consumed directly as a juice in a glass or to be part of the cooking endeavors of a person. Usually, the rest of the fruit its skin, pulp and seeds is discarded after the squeezing process is over and no more juice comes out.

When electronic devices were introduced in kitchens in order to assist the culinary efforts of men and women, electric juice extractors became part of peoples every practices. Used to prepare a fresh orange juice in the morning, or to get the juice of a lemon when preparing lemon-based recipes, mechanical juicers are part of someones daily food preparation tactics. Considered today extremely helpful, the two main types of juice extractors a centrifugal juicer that uses a blade and a sieve to separate juice and pulp or a masticating juicer that chews fruit to a pulp before squeezing the juice from it are available in several designs and styles. In fact, people can select from a variety of juicers, either because their color simply matches that of their kitchens counter tops, or because they are recommended by famous professional culinary chefs.

According to experts, the speed with which an electric juice operates plays a significant role in the quality of the outcome. Faster moving parts allow more air to integrate into the juice and thus, oxidize its nutrients, while slower juice processors can extract the juice out of fruit or vegetables without lowering its healthy elements quality.

Finally, many use their electronic blenders as juicers, because blenders can chop and mix raw fruits and vegetables together with a liquid, such as water, milk, or juice, creating a juice-like beverage.

Customer Review: Daily coffee drinker likes this product
I purchased this machine months ago. I program it each night so that my coffee is ready and waiting for me the next workday. If you leave it on it turns off by itself after two hours. I also have a bigger coffee maker but I use that one only when I have a big group of people in the house, otherwise I only use this one. I've had ZERO problems with it. The coffee it makes is good. What else do you need? You make your coffee, you drink it freshly made, and that's it. I purchased this item in Target on sale, but even not on sale it isn't that expensive, considering it is programmable and the timer features. It's a good product and I recommend it. I don't get the negative reviews. What more do you expect from this little machine?
Customer Review: Don't buy it
Poorly designed, awkward to use. The control panel and water gauge are located on the side, thus requiring you to turn the brewer sideways when using. But what you see might as well have stayd out of sight. You cannot "read" the water gauge unless you hold a flashlight on it; impossible to see the water level, because of the dark colors. The control pad is flimsy and too small for easy touch control. The light indicating power on is so small that you have to bend down to be eye level with that light in order to see it clearly, and that eye level is less than three inches above counter top. You could easily leave the power on without ever noticing it. The stainless caraffe is handsome enough, but of course it has no water level indicator to compensate for the unreadable one on the base. I get irritated every time I make coffee.

It's likely that the majority of stainless steel coffee makers are sold because they have that different look. The brushed stainless finish almost always looks nicer then a regular white plastic coffee maker, and glass carafe. Especially with the kitchens of today being extra stylish, and often having stainless steel appliances, don't we all want it to match?

What some people might not realize is that there is more to a stainless steel coffee maker then just another pretty face. There are specifically two key advantages I like about a stainless steel maker versus my old regular plastic glass carafe coffee maker. One is to do with replacement parts, the other to do with how my coffee tastes each morning.

Possibly you haven't done this, but leaving a glass carafe in the sink for a day then doing dishes that evening offers a pretty good chance you could crack that carafe. Especially if you're loading more dishes in on top of that carafe through the day. Of course we can all leave it on the counter, or in the coffee maker, but bottom line is coffee maker carafes aren't indestructible especially those made of glass.

A stainless steel coffee maker often comes with a stainless steel carafe. Guess what, really tough to break a stainless steel coffee carafe. You can drop it on the floor, leave it in the sink, some even put in the dish washer to reduce clean up time. I love it, can't beat something that I don't have to wash and I can't break it.

Now the second benefit of a stainless steel coffee maker also has to do with the carafe. Often times when I brew half a pot of coffee just for myself, I don't get around to drinking it all while it's fresh. The burner on the coffee maker tends to burn the coffee and reduce the taste and aroma, with a stainless carafe they're usually thermal as well. Meaning they don't require another heat source they keep the coffee warm inside by sealing in the warmth, and being insulated in the body. Just like a thermos you'd take to work with you.

Prices vary from under a hundred to several hundred dollars for a stainless coffee maker. All the major brands offer a stainless version of their top selling models including Cuisinart, Black and Decker, and Kitchen Aid. If you're shopping for a new drip coffee maker, be sure to consider a stainless steel model, and remember the extra few dollars it might cost isn't just for that sharp looking brushed stainless appearance it's for the added features to.
