Maybe times have changed....
First, we have the coffee maker I use in my travel trailer. The Black+Decker 5-Cup Coffeemaker. I bought this coffee maker for a few reasons the first being it doesn’t use a ton of power while brewing and I can plug it into my Goal Zero Yeti 1000.
It uses 625 watts while brewing which is really low power compared to bigger coffee makers. If you use a generator or have a solar set up this is going to be helpful. In the warming mode, it only uses about 150 watts for a short amount of time. It just clicks on for a few seconds then turns off for about 2 minutes.
The second reason it appealed to me was the size. The small coffee maker is only 10.75 inches tall, 7.25 inches wide, and 8.2 inches deep. It fits easily in the cupboard and doesn’t take up much space in my RV kitchen when it is out.
Black+Decker has been around for years making appliances and much more, this small coffee maker of theirs is a great budget-friendly product with some nice features.

The carafe doesn’t drip when you pour and has a removable lid which makes it very easy to clean. There is a sneak a cup feature that stops the coffee from dripping out when you remove the carafe. It uses a simple on/off switch that is lighted and there is a water window with markings so you can see how much water has been poured into it.
The brew basket is removable for easy cleaning and it comes with a reusable filter, I prefer paper filters but this is a nice bonus for when the paper filter supply is getting low.
For a small budget-friendly coffee pot the Black+Decker 5-Cup Coffeemaker makes a decent cup of coffee. It comes out hot and flavorful and brews coffee fast. It has a durable high quality feel to it and has worked perfect every time even after being jostled around while the trailer is being towed. I’ve never regretted buying it for my RV.
