Key Features
- Vortex™ Technology Water Flow: This innovative showerhead design ensures that hot water distributes evenly over the coffee grounds, promoting uniform saturation and maximizing flavor extraction. The result is a richer, more balanced cup of coffee from the first drop to the last.
- Sneak-A-Cup™ Technology: Need a caffeine boost before your full pot is ready? Simply lift the carafe and pour a cup—this feature temporarily halts the brewing process without causing drips or spills. As long as you return the carafe to the warming plate within 30 seconds, brewing resumes automatically, so no coffee goes to waste.
- QuickTouch™ Digital Programming: The intuitive digital interface allows you to set the current time and program a 24-hour auto-brew function with just a few taps. Wake up to the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee or have it ready when you get home—all without lifting a finger.
- Brew Strength Control: Customize your coffee experience by adjusting the brew strength. Whether you prefer a milder morning blend or a bold, intense flavor, this setting lets you tailor each brew to your exact preference.
- Removable Filter Basket: Designed for effortless cleanup, the dishwasher-safe filter basket simplifies maintenance and is compatible with standard basket-style paper filters, ensuring hygiene and convenience after every use.

Benefits & Use Cases
This programmable coffeemaker excels in busy households and shared environments where timing, consistency, and ease of use are essential. The 24-hour auto-brew function means you can program the machine the night before, ensuring fresh coffee is ready exactly when you want it—no early rising or rushed mornings required. For those who can’t wait for their full pot, Sneak-A-Cup™ Technology offers a hassle-free solution: lift the carafe, grab a cup, and continue brewing seamlessly. This feature also prevents accidental spills and maintains brewing integrity, even if interrupted.
The Vortex™ Water Flow system plays a key role in delivering consistent flavor across multiple brews. By evenly saturating the coffee grounds, it helps unlock the beans’ full potential, producing a smoother, more aromatic cup than traditional drip methods. Combined with Brew Strength Control, users can fine-tune each batch to match their mood or occasion—whether you’re sharing with guests or enjoying a quiet solo moment.
With a 12-cup capacity, this model supports families, roommates, or office teams without requiring frequent refills. The keep-warm function ensures your coffee stays at an ideal drinking temperature for up to two hours, making it perfect for morning routines that extend beyond the first hour. After brewing, cleanup is straightforward thanks to the removable, dishwasher-safe filter basket and drip-free carafe design.
Important Notes
- When using Sneak-A-Cup™ Technology, always return the carafe to the “Keep Hot” plate within 30 seconds to prevent overflow and allow the brewing cycle to resume normally.
- The removable filter basket is dishwasher safe, offering a quick and hygienic way to clean up after each brew.
- Each “cup” is defined as approximately 5 ounces, but actual volume may differ based on grind coarseness, coffee quantity, and personal brewing habits.
- The product includes only the coffeemaker unit, glass carafe, filter basket, and instruction manual. No additional accessories or filters are included unless otherwise specified in the packaging.

Black & Decker 12 Cup Programmable Coffee Maker (Model #DCM100B)
I’ve had this coffee maker for about one month and that’s enough time to learn all the good and bad things about it. I have to give this coffee maker two thumbs up. I absolutely love it. I’ve read other comments about how noisy it is or it doesn’t keep the coffee hot after brewing, etc, but I have not found those things to be true at all. Mine is quiet, and keeps the coffee plenty hot after brewing. Its easy to clean and I have discovered that if I fill the water to the weep hole in the back, I can get almost 14 cups out of this 12 cup coffee maker. The best part about this coffee maker is it makes very, very good coffee and no spill when you pour it into your cup. I haven’t found any bad things about it. It makes great coffee and easy to use, so I don’t know what more a person could ask for. I don’t know how long this coffee maker will last, but I sure love it. I’m going to buy another one to have as a “back-up” when this one gives out just in case this model will no longer be available. Yes sir, this dog will hunt. Y’all take care.One Year Update: I originally purchased this coffee maker in June of 2020 it is now July 2021 and it is still making great coffee without any problems. I’m an avid coffee drinker, so this coffee maker does get a workout. Still operates and performs just as it did the first day of use. Takes about 12 minutes to make a full pot of coffee and still tastes great and works great in all respects. I take care of it and do not abuse it. I clean it when it needs it and always use filtered water. Its wonderful. I have read many reviews, the good and the bad, and I respect all opinions and experiences that are shared, but for me…… all good here. In fact, all is great here. The last coffee maker I had lasted more than 15 years and I would have bought another one of those, but they don’t make it anymore. I expect this one to give me many years of service as well. Y’all take care.Two Year Update: July 1, 2022 It’s still working great! Works the same as the day I received it. No problems. I’ll update again in 2023, y’all take care.Three year update: June1, 2023 I purchased it in June 2020 and its been three years and happy to report that it is working great and I’m having a cup of coffee as i type this. I believe that coffee makers, at least most brands, last a long time if you take care of them. Yes, there are always going to be exceptions to that rule, but keep them clean and give it a vinegar flush at least three times per year and as stated earlier, I only use filtered water. I won’t be giving anymore yearly updates, but I will update again when, and if, this coffee maker stops working. Hope this review gives some insight as to my experience thus far. Y’all take care.

Alex Scott –
Pretty decent!
This is a decent coffee maker. It does what it’s supposed to do, at a reasonable price.I love that the filter basket is removable for easier cleaning. Display and operation is (mostly) intuitive. I really like the design of the brew head (I have no idea if thats the correct term – the part where hot water comes out and goes over the filter basket). I think it is shaped in a way that provides a more consistent brew. I’ve only had it for about a month, but I’ve had other black + decker coffee makers before and even living somewhere that has hard water and being someone who is too lazy to only use filtered water in my coffee maker, they always last longer than average for coffee makers. So I expect it will last a long time.I only have some minor complaints. Nothing that would make me not want to purchase this, but it would have made me think twice if I had a little more room in the budget when I was in the market for the coffee maker.1) On my previous coffee maker, you could turn on the “strong brew” setting at any time. You didn’t have to do it before starting the brew. This has been hard to adjust to and I don’t really understand why it is set up this way.2) The carafes pour spout is designed in a way that makes fully pouring it out difficult. When filling the coffee maker, I have to almost tip it upside down and move so that I’m dangerously close to missing the reservoir just to get all the water out. This could be fixed with a more conventionally designed pour spout.3)The carafe is designed so that, no matter how you turn it, when coffee is brewing, steam comes out and obscures the coffee maker screen in the middle. It’s very annoying but it also worries me that those components will ultimately be damaged by steam. I’ve never had this on other coffee makers – I think that a deeper recess for the carafe to sit in or a different shape for the carafe would help.Just my thoughts. I would definitely recommend this coffee maker, but I’d like it even more with a few minor changes!

Great coffee maker for home or office
I got this coffee maker for my office, and I am loving it. Its very easy to make coffee – just fill the water reservoir, put the filter and coffee in, and hit brew. I specifically chose this product because of the schedule feature. I load the grinds and water before I leave at night, and I have a hot pot of freshly brewed, high quality coffee to keep me going. The construction is mostly plastic, but it doesn’t feel like cheap materials. The machine does make slightly less coffee than the amount of water you put in, so just keep that in mind when filling it A great purchase!

Coffee pot
Works great
Debra LaPuma –
Reliable and provides a great cup of coffee
My spouse and I are heavy coffee drinkers – I make 2 12 cup pots per day, so we need a sturdy reliable pot that provides consistent results. This is it. I have tried other pots over the years (when this one wasn’t available) but none of them have ever stacked up..There have been minor design changes over the years. This one had two changes, one I like very much and one I’m not so thrilled with. I like the new ring design for distributing the hot water evenly over the grounds. I DON’T like the on/off switch, it is impossible to see its status without a close inspection, the light is barely visible.Other than that , this pot remains my favorite, and I’m thrilled to have found it at a reasonable price on Amazon.

I worked but but can’t use
When received it and unpacked and set up the lid to the pot would stay on and I noticed where it is supposed to snap on I noticed the lid grove was broken
Adam –
Great simple programable coffee maker with no bells or whistles.Perfect for the person that is just looking for a decently priced reliable and simple coffee maker.
Doug Friesen –
Great quality. Make great coffee. It only drips if I overfill the pot. As long as I keep it 3/4 inch from the top, it doesn’t drip at all. And that’s saying something! All other brands I’ve tried ( Mr Coffee, Braun, Hamilton Beach, etc ) drip and dribble like mofos.

This is one of many coffee machines we have purchased over the years. This was purchased as a replacement and we are happy with it. It is easy to clean and keeps the coffee warm for a long time.
