Black and Decker Coffee Maker--Cheap for a Reason

Usually cheap coffemakers aren't a big deal. I mean, after the advent of the ubiquitous "Mr. Coffee", we were bound to get inundated with chep imitations (such as this and the Sunbeam model), as well as the overly hyped gems such s The Bunn (used to be...

Makes Great Tasting Coffee Every Time

My husband drinks coffee every morning. I only drink it occasionally but I do make it quite often so I know the workings of this coffee system quite well. It has been a good “friend” to us for several years now! The Coffee ...

Carafe Spills Every Time

If the Price is right for you and you dont mind making your coffe over the sink, Then Buy it.. But to be honest with you. I have had ones from tag sales that I picked up for a couple bucks that did not have this problem. My suggestion again to B&D is...

Programable brewing: Set it at night and wake up late ; Quick Cleaning ; Brews a half way Decent cup of Coffe ; Automatic Shut Off: Wont burn your house down

The problem I have is , the carafe can't pour into a cup without spilling ; Have to make my coffee over the sink every day ; Had to give 2 Stars because of this flaw, I wish Black and Decker whould make a new carafe, and recall the other one or sell...

do not buy this item

You cannot pour a cup of coffee without spilling it all over the counter. You also have a tendency to spill water when filling the reservoir because of a poor design with the fill basket and the opening is in the hinged area of the top--which, by the...

Wish I would have read the reviews before I ordered.

I hate this messy coffee maker. There is no way to pour coffee from this carafe without it dribbling coffee onto the counter. I have to pour my coffee over the sink to avoid the mess. If I would have read the reviews before I ordered I would not have...

Leaky carafe makes it unusable

This is a nice coffee maker, except that the carafe leaks badly when you pour. You can only pour over the sink. This seems to be a design fault, as it is widely reported. I suggest you not buy this product until they have fixed this problem. How it...

drips when pouring, plus

The carafe drips when pouring coffee so there is a mess after all. The push button for off and on sticks, which can be a problem. The coffee maker is used daily, and almost from the beginning began dripping when pouring coffee. This was a Christmas...

coffee warm, not hot

First of all, WHY IN THE WORLD DID MELITTA STOP MAKING THE "MILL AND BREW"? What a great little, wonderful inexpensive system. The B and D carafe pours great for us, just can't dump the entire contents at once. The carafe dribble issue seems to cut...
