Bodum Brazil Black
Score: 71/100
Black+Decker Digital 12-Cup Coffee Maker
Score: 74/100Rankings
The BLACK+DECKER CM1160B is a 12-cup digital drip coffee maker with fast heating, a 24-hour timer and a convenient Sneak-A-Cup feature, making it a solid budget choice. It lacks brew-strength control and premium materials, limiting appeal to coffee aficionados. Best suited for families or small offices that need reliable, scheduled brewing without extra frills.
The Bodum Brazil 12 oz French Press delivers a quick 3-4 minute brew at 95 °C using a borosilicate glass carafe and stainless-steel mesh filter. Its small single-serve capacity and fragile glass make it less suitable for larger groups. Great for solo coffee drinkers who value simplicity and compact design.

Professional reviewers and editors commend the Brazil 12oz for its compact, colorful design and reliable glass construction, noting it delivers good flavor with a straightforward brewing method, but they caution that the actual yield is lower than claimed and cleanup can be messy.
General users echo the experts, praising the press's size, ease of use, and taste, while repeatedly mentioning the inconvenience of messy grounds and the disappointment of receiving less coffee than the 12 oz label suggests.
Professional reviewers, such as Coffeeness, label the CM1160 series as the best budget drip maker, highlighting its fast 975 W heating, compact size, and solid two-year warranty, while noting the lack of strength control, temperature adjustment, and SCA certification makes it unsuitable for coffee aficionados seeking precision.
Everyday users consistently commend the machine's ease of use, reliable programmable timer, and family-size capacity, with particular praise for the mess-free Sneak-A-Cup feature; complaints are minimal in the limited feedback available.
