 What's the problem? August 10, 2008
G. Charles (Chicago)
I don't understand the bad reviews for this product. I asked my wife to get a non-glass coffemaker because I am tired of breaking the glass coffee carafe when I wash it. I always end up buying a new coffeemaker because the price difference is close enough between a replacement carafe and brand new machine to opt for the latter. Coffee tastes good, coffee kept hot, easy to understand instructions. The arrows on the lid let you know where to position the lid for pouring and closing. Maybe if I needed a coffee pot that lasted over four hours this would be a bad deal, but all I need is for it to last maximum 2 hours, long enough for morning coffee with my wife on weekends and quick cup out the door before work days. I am confused by the negative reviews. Just make sure the lid is closed between coffee pours. No problem with cleaning, just wash in warm dish water. Also I followed the direction and ran clear water through before first use.
 Great Value, Better than most July 26, 2008

I picked this up the other day to replace my Mr. Coffee programmable/insulated carafe coffee maker (that one just stopped working after 8 mos. As an aside, I will never buy Mr. Coffee again). I have been using it for a week.
I went shopping for higher-end/more expensive coffee makers but ended up coming home with this one. I'll just hit the bullet points:
- easy to operate
- keeps coffee at drinkable temperature for 2 1/2 hours. If you pre-heated the carafe I am sure you could extend it. At 2.5 hours the coffee is just over luke-warm so if you have to always have piping hot coffee, you should get one with a burner that stays on. I can't stand burnt coffee, so anything that continues to add heat after brewing doesn't do it for me.
- Makes coffee just as good as anything I have used. I use 6 TBS of fresh ground coffee per full pot.
-the auto timer took me an extra 30 secs to figure out...you would expect the LED next to the "Auto" button to light up when that mode is on. What actually happens is a little dot appears on the upper right of the time display.
-easy to clean, and NO DRIPS from the carafe. One of my peeves is carafes that dribble as you pour. This one is well engineereed.
If you are value conscious and in the market for an 8 cup thermal, I'd recommend this one. For the money it can't be beat.
My coffee profile:
-I buy Kirkland Starbucks Roast at Costco and drink 3 cups a day.
-Coffee is a morning ritual, and also a vice. I love my coffee.
-I don't go to Starbucks/Peets/etc. unless out with others, and then I drink the "COD" (coffee of the day).
-I like a smooth columbian cup with a splash of 1/2 and 1/2. All the time. No flavored, No caffe-latte-crema-cappo-mocha-chino-shine-ola for me.
-I can detect burnt coffee a mile away, just the smell of it puts me off.
-I am willing to pay $[...] for a coffee maker, but I shop on best value, not sleekest machine.
If you have a similar profile, then this review may be for you.
I would recommend this coffee maker May 29, 2008

This is the second Black and Decker Thermal Carafe Coffeemaker we have owned. The first had a glass liner in the carafe. The current carafe is insulated metal. There is only a slight difference in the length of time the coffee stays hot. Our coffee is hot all morning and by early to mid-afternoon is starting to cool a little. The beauty of a thermal carafe is that the coffee doesn't sit and "cook" on the burner all day making it taste bitter and "old".
I like this coffee maker and would recommend it to anyone. With all thermal carafes, the pot is smaller than a regular coffee maker carafe and one must take that into consideration when deciding on a thermal carafe. The quality is great and the timer feature is fantastic when we want to have our coffee ready for us when we get up in the morning.
 SUCKS! May 19, 2008
happy listener
Here is the problem, the controls are on the bottom(on and off switch and stuff). So, if you have an accident or mess up, liquid spells on to the controls and destroys the coffee maker. Poor engineering, lasted only 3 months, threw the thing in the dumpster! DO NOT BUY!
Ruined too many mornings May 16, 2008

Every few weeks, the filter collapses and coffee spills out over the counter and onto the drawers and floors. There is no predicting when this will happen. I finally threw it out. And yes, I am using the filters for the 8-12 cup coffee makers.
