About

The Black+Decker Dual Brew (SS0441-0BD) is part of the Coffee Makers test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, Dual Coffee Maker models like the Dual Brew (SS0441-0BD) are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below.

Brew time: Our measurements of time, rounded to the nearest minute, to brew a pot of coffee in its regular cycle, using 40 oz. of water in those models that make 8- 14 cups of coffee. The one- or two-mug drip models are based on 10 oz. of water.

Brew performance: For drip brewing, the ability to reach 195° to 205° F for five or six minutes, the industry standard for optimal brewing and an indication of the coffee's concentration.

Convenience: For drip and single-serve brewing, reflects ease of filling the reservoir, placing the filter, gauging the amount of coffee remaining, and cleaning up. It also reflects how clear we judged the controls.
