DCM601W, DCM601B specifications

The Black & Decker DCM601B and DCM601W are premier coffee makers designed for individuals and families who appreciate convenience and quality in their brewing experience. These models combine innovative features with user-friendly design, making them an excellent choice for coffee lovers.

One of the standout characteristics of the DCM601B and DCM601W is their compact size, allowing them to fit seamlessly into any kitchen without occupying excessive counter space. Despite their small footprint, these coffee makers boast a decent capacity, enabling users to brew up to 5 cups of coffee at once. This feature is particularly appealing for households where multiple people enjoy coffee or for small gatherings.

Both models come equipped with a brew-pause feature, allowing users to pause the brewing process to pour a quick cup before the entire pot has finished brewing. This convenience allows for immediate gratification, whether you're in a hurry or just can't wait for that first sip of morning coffee.

Another notable feature is the non-stick "keep warm" plate. After brewing, the coffee maker automatically keeps the remaining coffee warm for up to 30 minutes, ensuring that your brew stays at an ideal temperature for enjoyment. Once the time is up, the device automatically shuts off, promoting safety and energy efficiency.

The carafe design is both functional and stylish. It features an easy-pour spout and a comfortable grip, making it easy to serve coffee without spills or messes. The transparent water reservoir is marked with measurement lines, allowing for accurate water scaling for the perfect brew.

In terms of technology, Black & Decker incorporates a simple toggle switch and an indicator light, making the operation straightforward. The DCM601B and DCM601W are designed for ease of cleaning, with a removable filter basket that can be easily washed.

Additionally, the sleek aesthetic of both models adds a modern touch to any kitchen decor. With a choice between a classic black finish (DCM601B) and a stylish white finish (DCM601W), users can select a design that best fits their personal style.
