 Overall, a nice coffee maker December 19, 2008
Mark D. Wooley (Florida)
Over all, we like this coffee maker. Looks cool, blue lights and all. But, along with other reviews I just read, the carafe leaks at the seam between plastic and stainless. At first we thought it was the pour spout, but I looked closely, and it is the seam dripping. We had registered the item at B&D on line, so we called, and they are sending a new carafe priority mail. They are familar with the issue and apologized. Other than that, nice coffee pot.
 Slick! But... November 22, 2008

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 November 22, 2008

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.

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 November 17, 2008

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.
