Black & Decker CM1050B 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker ...
Ultimately, I purchased this maker because I needed my morning coffee and was willing to invest in a cheaper model while I finished my research on my “dream” coffee maker. I bought this coffee maker when our Mr. Coffee maker quit working after 6 months. I STILL love it. After a daily pot of coffee for 4 months straight, this coffee maker is still working perfectly. Thank you Black and Decker for making a simple and functional coffee maker. I was reading reviews of coffee makers and one reviewer said something like, “hot water poured over grounds, why spend a fortune”. My husband used to dribble coffee all over the counter with the previous maker, but this one hasn’t leaked during pouring at all. My old coffee maker broke and I went looking for a new one, I had a $60 limit. I was very skeptical to purchase another “simple” coffee maker and did a lot of research on more expensive options. that really is all there is to drip coffee makers. I’ve postponed my search for a more expensive maker because this little dream machine is already meeting my needs. We’ve been using this maker for about 2 weeks and I am very impressed. Read the instructions to set up the auto maker function, it’s not intuitive. Other makers I’ve owned had a movable spout that seemed to always be in the way. This pot serves HOT coffee but no scalded taste and keeps the coffee hot on the warmer.
