What our customer's say!

"Buying another one. Love it.", I've had this model coffee maker for years. For the price, under $30, I get years of use and good coffee. I like the timer and the auto shutoff, the clear windows on the side, how easy it is to pour water into it (so many coffee makers are such a pain to pour water into!), and what someone called the 'sneak a cup' feature. I know it's an inexpensive coffeemaker, but this coffee addict is sticking with it.

The one I'm replacing still works but the auto shut-off feature is on the blink. After using it for about 4-5 years, I'm going to retire it to being the back-up coffeemaker, and get a new one. If memory serves, the one one I had before this one was the same model, but in white. I had replaced my white one because it's a lot easier to clean a black coffeemaker than a white one. :-)

"Dificult to Fit Under Cuboards", This coffee maker's top flips open to add water and coffee grounds. The result is an added 8 inches to its height, which makes it awkward to use the unit on a couter top under a cabinet. It makes coffee fine.

"Not a good deal", This coffee maker conked out a few months after I got it. The clock never worked (didn't keep time)over all it's a piece of junk don't buy unless you want to add it to your junk pile.

"Black & Decker coffee smart.", It is easy to set time & set time to brew! At last a simple brewer.

"Not Worth It", I am really disappointed in this coffeemaker. Consumer Reports rated this high. I purchased on 4/21/08 and today, 8/10/08, this coffeemaker is in non-working order.

"Unimpressed. Should have gotten another Krups.", I owned a Krups coffee maker for 7 years, the kind with the round, 10 cup aroma carafe. You can't find that coffee maker anymore, but you can still find the carafe. The water reservoir was getting pretty funky, and the clock finally burned out so I could not program it anymore. It made a damn good cup of coffee, though. I was going to buy another Krups, but after reading up on this one, and because it is a Consumer Reports best buy, I decided to get it.

I'm not that impressed, and regret not getting another Krups.

The carafe is sturdy, has a nice pour, but otherwise the Krups design is better. The Krups carafe is round, and just as sturdy with a good pour. When I pour the first cup of this new one tons of condensation pour off the lid first watering down that first cup of coffee. That never happened with the Krups. I never had condensation on the lid because the round design prevented that.

The filter is your basic, round filter. Coming off of a cone filter, I have to say I like the cone filter much better. It makes stronger coffee with fewer grounds. I have to use much more grounds to get close to the same flavor I was getting from the Krups #4 cone. I'm going through ground coffee much faster, now.

Programming works like it should. No surprise or disappointment, here, though the clock is BRIGHT.

Here is the BIG disappointment. The Krups could be programmed to keep the coffee warm for up to 5 hours, then the warmer plate would shut off. 5 hours is excessive, but it was nice because I work from home and drink coffee the entire morning. It's also nice because my wife or I could get up at 5 and have 2 mugs of coffee before work, and then the other could get up at 7:30 or 8 and have fresh tasting, hot coffee from the same pot. NOT ANYMORE! The warmer plate is limited to 2 hours, and 2 hours only. You can not set it to stay on longer or shorter. If you turn the maker back on after it shuts off, it really burns the coffee. Solution? Get a separate carafe or make a new pot. What a waste. So, even though I saved $20 compared to buying another Krups, now I'll probably spend another $20 for a carafe.

If keeping the coffee hot for more than 2 hours is a big deal, spend a little more money and get the coffee maker with the thermal carafe.

Overall, the Krups was a much better value, makes much better coffee, and has better features. It lasted 7 years, made great coffee, and kept the coffee tasting fresh and hot for up to 5 hours. Also, after 2 years I just stopped buying replacement water filters and went "water filterless". It still worked great.

I will probably not have this coffee maker for that long, but I am so disappointed I can't get the round, aroma Krups anymore.

"Worst Coffeemaker ever!", DO NOT BUY THIS MACHINE!! I have never written a review on any product... but I feel so strongly about this that I felt the need to warn others. This is the worst coffeemaker I have ever owned. I have gone through two of these machines in the past year. The first one I owned simply stopped working after about 3 months. I called Black and Decker and they agreed to replace it... if I paid for shipping and handling. They assured me this was not typical. However, now on coffeemaker number two, I came downstairs to grab coffee before leaving for work and this one has simply stopped working as well. Will not brew coffee by turning it on manually or setting the timer. Save yourself the headaches and do not buy this machine!

"Carafe leak!", Black & Decker used to be a USA company that made good power tools. Sometime in the '80s (I think) they where bought by Fox Int./? and they started marketing home appliances with the Black & Decker name and made in China.
Seems to make good coffee and faster than other coffeemakers that I have owned. The hot plate under the carafe keeps the coffee good and hot.
In an effort to make the price as low as possible they figured a way to make the Carafe cheaper. Instead of forming the pouring lip on the Carafe out of glass (as all other Carafes that I have ever seen) they made the Carafe out of 2 pieces. One part is the glass bowl and the other is the black plastic handle and the top lip of the Carafe with the pouring lip. Somehow they try to seal the two parts together to make a the Carafe assembly. Well here is where things go wrong. Glass and plastic have a different expansion rate and so they have a hard time getting the two to seal, and that is why, I think, the Carafe leaks.
I called B & D /Fox /? and told them that the Carafe leaked and was told that the Carafe was on "back order" and I would get the replacement in about 4 weeks, and I did. This tells me that many other people are having the same (leaking) problem. They wouldn't confirm that. So far no leaks with the replacement Carafe.
My only other comment about the Coffeemaker is the red LED display for the clock is very very bright. It's so bright that you can use it for a night light!!
Would I buy it again, yes.


"Excellent drip coffee maker", This coffee maker has some very nice features:
1. It makes very good coffee
2. Unlike most, the caraffe does not drip when you pour the coffee.
3. The fill-opening is convenient and large enough that you don't spill water on the counter when you fill the pot.

In my opinion, the best you can buy.

"Look out below", Poured water into the container and it immediately ran out the bottom of the coffee maker all over the floor.......Returned
