 This coffee maker is a terrific peace keeper - - - December 1, 2007

The B&D model DDCM200 is a great product for two people. It's advantage is in allowing two different cups to be brewed - different flavors, strengths, caffinated/decaffinated, or even tea.
Every cup comes out consistent once you learn how much coffee to put into basket for the amount of water you put in. We have learned this ratio for varying amounts of water so if we feel like a full or half mug we can get what we desire - consistently, and fast.
A knob on the top turned to the left diverts water to just the left side for one cup, or when turned to the right yields two cups. When brewing two, the left cup always gets a bit more water than the right - the right mug's coffee level is about 3/8ths of an inch lower than the left mug.
You can use the supplied baskets and forgo filters, but I like to use the #1 paper filters inside the baskets as cleanup is even easier than just the basket - the choice is yours.
As for noise, it does make some but I in no way find it offensive. Unlike some coffee makers that seem to linger, when the brew cycle finishes the water stops entering the basket almost immediately. I like this as when it's done, it's done.
There are no hot plates in this maker - nothing to burn any errant drippings, no safety issues. In fact if after brewing you leave the machine on, it will turn itself off. The coffee is meant to brew directly into your mug. I generally brew into an old, large, Dunkin Donuts (made by THERMO) mug without it's lid. This mug is better insulated and keeps my coffee warm enough for me for a long time. I do NOT like coffee too hot to drink. If a coffee shop wants me to use a cup insulator sleeve to keep from burning my hand, then the coffee is way too hot for me. I mention this as the B&D DDCM200 makes a hot cup of coffee but if you are expecting it to be so hot you'd need a sleeve, it won't be.
This machine is fast. It is faster than many of my Mr. Coffee machines and only the single cup machine I use at work is faster.
Would I buy it again? YES, YES, YES! I'm here at Amazon looking for a second one for use at my girlfriend's house. She got me mine a year ago (been working great for a year) and likes it so much she now wants one. When she moves in here next year, we will have two so I'll have a backup. I don't see this model # on the B&D website so I'll presume it is no longer made. Another reason I want to get a second unit ... that's how much I enjoy the one I have!
I recommend this to individuals who like different cups of coffee - gone will be the waiting between first and second pots, or arguing over which coffee do you both drink, or its strength. What a terrific peace keeper!!

My husband and I purchased this coffee maker to use in our travel trailer. It works great. So easy to make the coffee and if one of us wants a different blend or stronger coffee - no problem. It works quickly and is a breeze to clean up - no filters to buy either. We're very happy with it.

Received it as a gift. It is a bit tall. I like compact appliances.
But it is exactly what you expect for the price and it works well and easy to clean. Just run some fresh water through it once in a while to clean the inside.
The reviewer that complains about wasting water by not switching between one and two cups does a diservice to Amazon by leaving such a thoughtless review.
I rely on reviews in making my purchases. You, my friend, ruin this process.

Bought this since I am the only coffee drinker in the house. Brews a good cup of coffee--although I have found some fine grounds in the bottom of my mug. I've not found that it is abnormally loud, nor does it brew a "cold" cup of coffee. I use a lot of milk, so I typically only put 3 t. of coffe in the filter vs. the 4 suggested. The coffee has been on point everytime. Based on some of the previous reviews, however, I bought the insurance for it (an extra $2.99 at Kmart) just in case. Overall, I'm very pleased.
Works great! January 31, 2008

Received this coffeemaker as a Christmas gift in 2007 and I love it! It's perfect for my on the go lifestyle.
I have not experienced the negative aspects that other reviewers have. My coffee tastes great, never like plastic. I use high quality coffee and grind my own beans. The cup doesn't leak. It brews consistently, completely and hot. I was given this coffee maker because I could never figure out how to brew half a pot into a big 8 or 10 cup coffee maker.
The only cons I would have to say is the quality of construction. The plastic "maker" is light, meaning that it doesn't feel solid on my counter. The cups are not as well insulated as others I have used...it would be better if they were stainless steel on the inside.
Great for the price!
