Nice simple coffee maker. My last unit was a dual single/ pot combo. It started messing up. I decided to replace with two separate simple units. This unit is perfect. Does the job well. Looks good. Read more

My last coffee maker finally gave up the ghost and I started looking for a decent coffee maker that wouldn't break the bank. This is what I bought, based on the price and the reviews. It's a good coffee maker. That's all I really need to know. It does its job without fuss. It's programmable, so it has more features than coffee makers that are only a little cheaper. And it will make 12 cups of coffee, which is a plus if you ever have visitors who like coffee or if you drink a lot yourself. It does its job, and it does it well. I have one quibble about this coffee maker, it's the built in 2 hour shut-off, which you apparently don't have any control over (Black & Decker says it's a safety feature). I's annoying. On my weekends I tend to start coffee when I get up, but I sometimes get busy and don't get to it right away. I couldn't tell you how many times I've gone in there to get a cup of coffee only to find out that the warming plate has turned off. Now, it's simple enough just to turn it back on, and I usually get in there before the coffee has gotten too cold. But the simple truth is I would rather be able to make a full pot of coffee that could sit in there for 8 - 10 hours than something I have to babysit, or have to make a couple of cups of coffee at a time. The shut-off "safety feature" is mostly annoying because I have no control over it. I understand Black & Decker probably thought of it as a liability issue (because people love to sue corporations when they themselves have done something stupid), but it does seem like there should be a larger window in which to keep your coffee warm, or least make it something that's variable up to a point. Sure, it makes sense to have the coffee maker shut off at some point, because people can and do forget to turn them off. But whoever set it at 2 hours is clearly someone who doesn't actually drink coffee. lol. Overall, though, I'm very happy with this coffee maker. I'm sure I'll buy another one when this one gives out.

I’m very pleased with this BLACK+DECKER 12-cup coffee maker. It’s straightforward to use, the controls are intuitive, and it brews consistently good coffee. The carafe pours cleanly without dripping, and the warming plate keeps the coffee at a good temperature. For the price, it offers great value and performs exactly as advertised. A solid, dependable coffee maker for daily use. Read more

Second pot I've bought. My husband drinks a lot of coffee so this works great and he loves it. Very user friendly and last for quite a few years. Will continue to purchase as long as they continue to sell it. Recommend highly. Read more

I really like this coffee maker. If you buy one, the lid to the carafe is difficult to get on at first, but it gets easier. I was afraid I was going to break it because the first couple of times I put it on I had to really press hard to lock it into place. Also, I didn’t think the brew basket was going in correctly because the lid of the unit didn’t close completely, but then I discovered if I put a little pressure on the unit’s lid, it easily snapped into place. The coffee maker makes excellent coffee. I just wish it brewed hotter coffee. It cooks in my cup pretty quickly. Other than that, no complaints! Read more

I think for what it is/does it's a bit overpriced (BUT what isn't these days?) It taught me a few things: 1) I prefer a cone filter to basket. 2) No way does this brew a full pot of decent strength coffee, it would never hold enough coffee grounds. 3) It is impossible to grab a cup before it's done brewing without drips on the hotplate; I hate that. 4) It looks cheap with the shiny black plastic and its appearance could be improved by simply making it matte. 5) I don't care for a coffee brewer that makes it so difficult to add a little more water as it is brewing. All of those things said, it's relatively quick. The coffee tastes fine if you use good quality coffee. When I buy another, I'll buy one that brews into a thermos style pot so there is no hot plate, and select one that I can add water to as it is brewing. Read more
