Ratings & Reviews for BLACK+DECKER 12-Cup Programmable Drip Coffee Maker with Automatic Shut-off (Black)

Does the job

It does the job. Water is hot, operation is effective. Had for a year and the hot plate element will not stay black no matter how often you wipe it clean with or without soap. The black paint or whatever covering erodes to a non black color. Have tried to use touch up paint for hot surfaces without success. Leave the pot in place if you have company.

Broken in a month

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Stopped brewing completely within 1 month of use. Don’t buy.

Good choice

Works just like it should. No issues. I’m happy. Would buy again

Cheaply made!

I received this model for Christmas, 7 days in and the plunger and spring stop on the Removable Brew Basket broke.

Weak coffee and strange sound

Worked great until it didn't. After about 6 months it would flas "clean" when I turned it on. I cleaned it twice but it never went away. After about another month it started making a strange sound. I also feel like it suddenly brewing weak coffee. Very frustrating and disappointed.

great coffee

i enjoyed my fresh cup of coffee each day. it was delicious and saved me money. I was heart broken when i cracked my pot. i immediately got a new one!

Yet another great appliance!

I've had this coffeemaker for several years, and have been very happy with it. I've been a Black & Decker girl for as long as I can remember, and have several different appliances/other B&D items - and it is the first manufacturer I look for when purchasing these items. It sadly seems so unusual that there are still companies who actually provide great quality appliances and truly seem to care about the customers...something that doesn't happen much any more :(. Thank you for the effort!

Lots of coffee grinds

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this coffee pot less than a month ago and although I enjoy how fast it can brew a pot of coffee, the coffee grinds that are in my cup each morning is not worth the hassle. I have the purchased the correct size paper filters, and yet still have this issue. Not sure why this particular pot has this issue but I would not recommend it.

Short Life

Died in 6 months. You can hear a click, but never heats water.

Crap

It's cheap for a reason. Had it for less than a year, 5 usages per week, and the heating element burnt out.

Okay, but we'll see about how long it lasts.

We have, over the last 20 years, owned four of this model type. The first lasted far longer than the following two, each succeeding one less so. It makes good coffee. So, I have ordered another after the last one lasted only about two years. Why? It's relatively inexpensive. I still have the first one, as ugly-dirty as it is, as a back-up which I used today. Let's see how long this new one will last.

Would do it again!

Great! Bought as a replacement. Price was right!

Great coffee

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love it ❤️ always had keurig coffee makers and also mr. Coffee years ago. Glad to be back !

The tiny plastic piece that holds the lid in place

I was gifted a broken maker. When I registered it to get a new one, I was sent one a month later that was also broken.

Unreliable

I purchased this not even 5 months ago & it's already toast. It's odd considering b&d has always had great products & the fact that I only used it a few times a week. Bummer.
