BLACK+DECKER 12-Cup Digital Coffee Maker, Programmable, Washable Basket Filter, Sneak-A-Cup, Auto Brew, Water Window, Keep Hot Plate, Black by BLACK+DECKER

Great coffee maker. Love the fact that I can prepare night before and a full pot of coffee is HOT and ready when I get up the next morning. Easy to operate-(even if you don’t read directions)-only thing I don’t like is that the one light is not visible from the side. I look at the make from the left side and you can’t see it. Have to be standing in front of it to see that it’s on. Not a function issue just an inconvenience for me. I do recommend!

Stopped working properly within 6 months

I’ve had several of this model. I like it because the controls are underneath and the steam can’t get to them. It’s simple to operate and works great.

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 here to say great things about this purchase. First, shipping was fast and product was wrapped and boxed very well. There was a zip tie on the plug which let me know it was brand new and not a return from previous purchase.
I like the fact the water level window is on the right side due to where I place it on my bar it’s easy to see. Brews 12 cups in 8 min. Removal of pot slides out with ease and pouring from decanter it does not spill out everywhere. Time and auto set are simple to use and it makes a HOT pot of coffee!!
Great price and I’m very pleased with this coffee maker.
