Amazon.com Product Description
Combining advanced technology with a clean, simple design, this 10-cup programmable coffeemaker offers a digital clock with timer that makes it easy to wake up to the smell of freshly brewed coffee. After brewing is complete, the machine's "keep warm" plate maintains an ideal serving temperature for two hours before the unit automatically shuts off. The coffeemaker's 50-ounce glass carafe provides easy-to-read water-fill and coffee-brew markings, as well as a drip-less pour spout and an ergonomic handle for graceful serving. Removing the carafe from its warming plate midbrew pauses the brewing process to allow for a quick pour. Cord storage helps keep countertops tidy, and the coffeemaker's one-piece cover offers simple access to the water reservoir and the cone-style filter basket, which removes for convenient disposal and cleaning. In addition, the carafe, lid, and filter basket are top-rack dishwasher-safe. The coffeemaker measures approximately 9 by 8 by 12 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Customer Reviews

Great coffeemaker for the price
It seems like coffeemakers die on us about every 2 or 3 years, no matter what brand they are, so we tend to aim for the lower end of the market. This Black & Decker unit gets the job done admirably and has all the features we want or need. We wish it was 12 cups instead of 10, but that's a small inconvenience. Also, it takes cone-shaped filters instead of flat ones (of which we have several boxes), but again, that's a small issue and not really something to obsess about. We spent the money we saved over buying a Braun or something fancier than B&D on a reverse osmosis system so we could have really good water to make coffee, and we've found that having good water makes a huge difference in how the coffee tastes (plus, it means there's no lime build-up inside the machine).

Great Machine
This is a perfect machine. It makes great coffee and has a 2-hour automatic shut-off time. It has a sleek black design, and I love it way more than the crappy thermal Braun machines.

fine economical breed of coffee maker
Black & Decker makes an excellent budget oriented coffee maker with lots of features especially considering the low price you pay for it. I have use this coffee maker for almost two years without any complaints; it brews a great cup of coffee in a very short amount of time. Love that java kick in the morning! You can even make up to ten cups of coffee with this machine! Oh, thank heaven!

The machine plugs into any standard electrical outlet--and from there on in the benefits are all yours. You can program this unit the night before so that you wake up to a great cup of coffee--the timer and clock features help to do that. It's easy enough to place a new coffee filter in the coffee filter holder; and the water reservoir runs around the coffee filter holder. When you open the plastic lid that covers the top of the coffee maker you can see the coffee filter holder in the circular middle of the top of the coffee maker; and the water resevoir runs around it.

Moreover, the drip-less pour spout is indeed drip-less--great! Black & Decker's coffee maker has a sneak-a-cup feature but I can't comment on that--I never used it. The simple, straightforward instructions will tell you how to do this, so don't worry. The "keep warm" plate works well, too.

In addition, Amazon notes that "the carafe, lid, and filter basket are top-rack dishwasher-safe;" but I personally don't take that risk--I hand wash them carefully in the sink and them dry them very carefully instead. Just my personal preference--I wouldn't want my coffee maker to be ruined by the intense heat of the dry cycle of my dishwasher.

Overall, you just can't get any better for your money with this wonderful coffee maker by Black & Decker. I highly recommend it for persons who want an economical but reliable coffee maker.

Use it in good health!
