I have a Black & Decker DCM2900 SmartBrew 12 Cup Digital Coffee Maker that was purchased in mid 2007. It was bought by my sister for our small apartment, and it has done us quite a bit of good in the year we've had it.

It may not be a fancy, complex, or visually appealing model of coffee maker, but it suits us just fine. We bought the model in particular because it looked the easiest to use, was small, and was inexpensive for the kind of machine it was and what it offered.

Brewing 12 cups of coffee is plenty for two people, so we usually only brew about 8-10. The machine is fast to boil the water, easy to clean, and makes great coffee overall.

I love the fact that this coffee pot has a program feature that allowed us to program the machine to turn on before we wake up in the morning. It’s a great feature, and it’s easy to set.

The buttons on the front of the machine are simple to figure out: no instructions needed. I also greatly appreciate that Black & Decker gave this machine a small build so it doesn’t take up a lot of counter space.

My only complaint about this machine is the actual pot that comes with it. The spout is very ineffective, and dribbles everywhere if you pour too fast! I’ve gotten used to pouring slowly, so it’s not a big deal. Other than that, I don’t have any complaints about this machine. It’s great, it’s simple, and it makes good coffee!
