Others say...
"Happy at last with this B&D thermal carafe coffee maker" I agree with other reviewers, coffee makers are so hard to research because everyone is so particular about his/her coffee and if you have a bad coffee maker experience, it's a really bad experience. I spent so much $$$ on a Capresso, then it went and broke my heart. This B&D has all of the same features, a few of the same drawbacks, and works much, much better at a third of the price. Amazon is so great about delivering quickly with the best (or at least a very competitive) price. I'd say maybe the Capresso carafe is a bit tighter, but it spilled constantly. No doubt, some poor student is now coping with that model having picked it up from the thrift shop where I dumped it. With the instruction manual and extra filters. You must be careful when threading the lid on the B&D, but the coffee-us interruptus feature really does work! Yay! What is most important to me about a coffee maker? Dependability. Will it give me a good cuppa every morning, no spill, no babying it along? Yes. My feeling is that an eight-cup is as big as you want to go for the thermal carafe. Good luck! "Leaking carafe" I got this B&D coffee maker today. It leaks coffee all over the counter when it is being poured. The lid on the carafe fits nicely and is easy to use. The problem is that there is a small welding defect in the stainless steel lip of the carafe that allows coffee to get around the O ring like seal with the plastic top. This is a case of poor quality control. I will send it back. Had it not been for the leak I would have given this machine four stars. With the blue LEDs it looks really cool. The coffee in the pot was a reasonable 152 degrees F. without preheating the carafe. The coffee tasted good. It has a large door for filling with water and was very easy to fill. With a brush or "sponge on a stick" device the carafe is easy to clean. The digital display is outstanding. The carafe nests securely during the brewing cycle so spillage is unlikely. The carafe holds about 35 oz of liquid when full. For the features the price seemed good. I did not test the brew strength control. Update: B&D sent me a replacement carafe at no charge. The new carafe does not leak unless you pour too quickly. Getting the last half a cup can get messy. The base of the unit does make a disconcerting snapping sound like an electrical arc while brewing. With a preheated carafe the coffee started at about 160 degrees. After ten hours the half full carafe of coffee was 119 degrees - warm with good flavor. "B&D Coffe Maker " We bought this to replace our previous B&D Thermal Carafe coffee maker, which, after several years of heavy use, gave up the ghost. The CDM 3500 is working out great. The blue LEDs are a little odd, but helpful when filling the tank. Programmable feature is accurate and allows for fresh-brewed coffee when we wake up. The only drawback is the way the cap of the carafe was designed: when turned to the "pour" mark, it pours very slowly. If you open it much beyond that, it'll come off. So, get used to a slow pour! Overall, a great machine "COFFEE MAKER REVIEW" I really like my new Black & Decker CMD3500MBT 8-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker with Thermal Carafe. My only complaint is that it only makes 8 cups of coffee. I would prefer a 12 cup machine. The coffee maker is very user friendly. Clock and program EASY!!! Filter is very accessible. The BLUE lights make a great night light too. The carafe keeps the coffee hot for up to 4 hours. The flavor remains good and does not taste burnt as it might if left on direct heat. I highly recommend this coffee maker. "It makes great coffee" I bought this as a gift for my partner who has rather particular tastes in coffee. Her opinion is that it makes great coffee and she is very happy with it. It was easy to set up. It keeps the coffee hot for quite some time and keeps it warm after that. One "green" benefit is that because it is a thermal carafe, it uses less engery than coffee makers that use a hot plate to keep coffee warm. You also don't risk burning the coffee or a small person's hand that might reach up on the counter. All in all, she is very happy.

What our customer's say! "Slick! But...", For the time I had this, it was slick! Yes, it has the groovy blue light on the sight gauge. Yes, you can easily see the water level in the tank. Yes, you can actually stop the brew cycle by just hitting the button, again. Yes, it is aesthetically appealing. But, after a couple of days, the carafe started leaking at the seam between the metal and the plastic on the carafe. I didn't feel like continually wiping up a mess after pouring each cup of coffee. I sent it back. "A very user-friendly gadget", I bought this coffeemaker when I got fed up with my Mr. Coffee dumping coffee all over my counter if I didn't line the carafe up perfectly. So far, excellent. Easy to program, carafe keeps coffee hot without cooking it, lights in fill tank make it easy to fill correctly. I guess my only kvetsch would be, I wish the filter basket were easier to put in & take out. I highly recommend this little gizmo. "Black & Decker CMD3500MBT 8-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker with Thermal Carafe ", We like the coffee pot very much. The wife especially likes the fact the pot is not heated by the plate keeping the coffee flavor better and longer. We would recommend the maker to our friends. "If you like cleaning up wet messes, buy this coffee maker", This coffee maker makes a good cup of coffee and if all you want is a good cup of coffee then this might be the machine for you. Unfortunately, half the time you will be mopping that coffee off of your counter tops or worse yet, your floor. I bought this machine in June and had such high hopes for it. The design is nice and programming is a snap and oh you just have to love that thermal carafe. I was able to overlook the fact that when pouring there was a slow but steady drip coming from the joint where the stainless meets the plastic. I reasoned with myself that this was a small price to pay for a good cup of coffee. I kept a towel over the pot when pouring. A small inconvenience I told myself. By the end of July I was a commited Black and Decker coffee drinker and called the company to order a two year supply of the silly filter system. Have I mentioned the silly filter system? The filters are near impossible to find, even when going to Black and Decker's own website. Again, I told myself this was simply another small inconvenience on the road to good coffee. Besides, I am sure some happy black and decker owner will counter my review here by providing copious links to the filters and their holster. It was about three months into my relationship with this coffee maker that I awoke one morning to the wonderful smell of fresh perked coffee that I'd grown accustomed to. My taste buds were poised at the ready for that first heavenly sip as I entered the kitchen to find fresh brewed coffee had taken over the countertops and the floor. Snapped from my reverie, I had to admit that perhaps something was wrong. Still I tried to be cheerful as I mopped up the brew and made a fresh pot without incident. All was good again for about 2 weeks until the same coffee flood occured again. I spoke with other drip coffee maker friends and got the same advice all around... DON'T USE PAPER FILTERS. I was relieved to hear there was a solution to my problem. I invested in a gold filter basket and brewed coffee without incident for about a month. But my joy was short lived. By the end of September, coffee floods became a routine occurance around here. I begged and pleaded with my silly little machine to come to its senses and just brew coffee, but it was useless. No amount of cleaning, begging, cajoling, handholding or pot watching was able to make this system work for more than a day without flooding. The balloon of my denial was finally punctured and I had to admit that this just is NOT a good coffee maker. Sadly, I retired it in early october and purchased a Keurig Machine instead. Sorry Black and Decker... I normally sing your praises but not in this case. "Like it a lot--just a few tiny bugs", Overall, a fine coffeemaker. I love the thermal carafe (although this one is small--the model with the larger carafe got poor reviews) and the lack of a hot plate: brew your coffee ahead of time and no worrying about an appliance being left on (turns off automatically) or bad-tasting coffee. I do wonder why the clock is on top, and doesn't remain lit--you won't use this as your kitchen clock; it's only use is for preprogramming a brew time. I also worry about possible future repairs to the latch which opens the filter basket (latch is needed as the top of the unit slopes downward) and the bright blue lights (needed in the water reservoir 'cause you can't see a thing!): if they break or go out, who would fix them and at what cost? No, nothing is broken yet, I would just like this to last for years. Also, the lid on my water reservoir does not quite close all the way. After all that, and a few months of use, I would recommend this Black&Decker coffeemaker. 
Read this reviews before You buy... "Pretty good coffee maker", This coffee maker seems pretty good so far. I like the thermal carafe. I wish it used a cone filter, or was built to use a cone filter though. Lots of bells and whistles on this thing. "So far no complaints! A terrific maker for the price", It's difficult trying to research coffee makers to purchase, I realized, after looking at various ones throughout Amazon. A few products had agreement in the quality, but for a lot, the reviews seemed to be all over the place. And the ones that seemed to have really decent reviews were a bit out of the range I wanted to spend on an office coffee pot. Then I discovered this Black & Decker one that had absolutely no reviews, was in the price range I was looking for and had all the extra features (like a thermal carafe) and decided, why not? It's been a good purchase so far. Reviewing appliances like coffeemakers is a bit outside of my normal purview and most of what I'd write about (the features) are listed above, so I'm going to make this short and sweet. The thermal carafe works wonderfully and we typically brew a pot, bring the carafe into our section and it keeps hot for the morning. The last cup feels as warm as the first, which is nice. It's only an 8 cup carafe, which could be problematic for those looking for a big pot, but it's the perfect fit for us. One feature not listed is that it uses a charcoal filtration system. This is good and bad. The good is the filtration is a nice feature and it comes with one little charcoal patch, but after reading through the manual, it looks like the only way to order more is to go directly to Black & Decker. I noticed that Amazon has the Black & Decker TWF50 Water Filter Basket & Replacement Filter for sale via some other vendors. It's not the same model number, but the picture looks exactly like the one used in this coffeemaker (minus the color) and the replacement filters will probably fit. Unfortunately, it could become a hassle for those who want to keep up with their filter (which needs to be replaced every 60 brews/2 months). Looking at the other features, there's a digital clock, with a screen that indicates the coffee is fresh and ready, a mechanism to choose your coffee strength that definitely works as advertised, the ability to "sneak a cup," and the carafe (unlike others we've used) pours perfectly without making a mess. All of this comes in a stylish package complete with blue lights along the side where the water level is read. This makes for an attractive package that works perfectly and has a lot of additional features. I'd definitely recommend checking it out. |
