BLACK+DECKER 12-Cup Coffee Maker with Easy On/Off Switch, Easy Pour, Non-Drip Carafe with Removable Filter Basket, Vortex Technology, Black

Excellent quality and low noise level on this one. Had a vortex like this awhile back. liked it very much. This one does not have the automatic shut-off included. Order one of those quality push button timers with the LED. Works well on this coffee pot. Brew time is around 10-12 minutes. Not bad and makes a very good cup of coffee. IF you use good coffee that is. This is a no frills and no spills unit. Yes, NO SPILLS! Spout on carafe doesn't drip all over the place like others do.

So far so great! I’ve brewed coffee multiple times now using this product and it works great. I love how it’s super basic and easy to use. After using multiple other products such as the keurig and nespresso I got tired of the constant buying of capsules and cups etccc. This thing is easy to use and allows for your coffee to be warm for multiple hours. It fits right under my counter, paper roll next to it for reference. Brews a bunch of coffee (12 cups). Just one switch that’s all (to turn off and on). The coffee container does feel like it contains some plastic but so far durable and has not stained.

This coffee maker works well and is very economical. The only drawback is that it doesn’t have a built in clock to automatically shut itself off.

This little coffee maker is exactly what I wanted. I’ve evaluated a few others, and each had at least one issue that was a dealbreaker for me. Here’s some info on this model to help you figure out if it’s right for you: Fully accessible water reservoir that can be viewed and periodically brush-cleaned thoroughly (this important feature can be hard to find in so-called “5-cup” coffee makers; #MoldyBiofilm) (Note: in the coffee-maker world, “5-cup“ really means about 24 ounces). A carafe that pours cleanly without drizzling or dripping — really Works fast (6 minutes for “3 cups”; 8.5 minutes for “5 cups” ) to make good coffee at the right temperature (165°F, according to my tests) If you fill the water to the “3-cup“ water line, you get ~ 16 ounces of coffee (to me, that’s perfect for one generous thermal mug of coffee) If you fill the water to the “5-cup“ (maximum) water line, you get ~ 24 ounces of coffee In my experience, for a moderately strong brew, the perfect proportion of ground coffee to water for this model is 5 tablespoons of ground beans (that’s one generously heaped standard coffee scoop) to 17 ounces of water (that’s the “3-cup” water fill line) (Note: I use Peet’s Medium Roast) Some things you might not like about this model, although they don’t bother me: Coffee flow does not stop if you remove the pot mid-brew. (The brew times I list above take into account that all water must’ have moved the system before you pour your cup.) This is a simple machine with no extra bells or whistles. No delayed brew, no timer, etc. Good luck with your search!

Perfect size for two people to each have a couple of cups of morning coffee. The coffee tastes good. Carafe and filter basket are easy to clean and can be washed in top rack of ishwasher

The first unit I received had a broken lid hinge. I suspect it was a transportation issue. It was very cold outside and plastic gets brittle. Also, it wasn't inside an outer box like most stuff from Amazon. I returned the unit for credit on a new one. The new one came promptly and WAS inside another box. It is in great shape and makes great coffee for a drip model. I like that the top lid locks in place. Also, the switch is a real switch and isn't the electronic type that turns off after on hour or so. I have already forgotten to turn it off overnight and it ran dry but I will gladly put up with that just so I can have a hot cup waiting for me. After a month I judge this to be a champion basic coffee maker.

I highly recommend this this coffee maker. I almost can't believe how well it brews a cup of coffee. So rich, robust, steaming hot and absolutely delicious. And the machine is simple to operate and so affordable. ;

This is a very basic small coffee maker. No frills…just coffee. Easy to prepare, easy to clean, 8/10 coffee. Only 1 negative comment: it’s loud as it finishes making a pot of coffee. A loud slurping noise as it’s sucking up the last of the water from the reservoir…an annoying sound at 5:30AM. But I guess for $20, you shouldn’t expect barista quality.

Product works as expected. Makes a pot of coffee fairly quickly. Seems to be made of good quality material. Have had no problems with it so far. Would recommend.

Es un excelente producto, de materiales y calidad inmejorables, el tamaño es algo pequeño pero gracias a eso es más cómoda y práctica al usarla

nuevo sistema interior de goteo que me gusto mas que el sistema tradicional ya que moja de manera mas rapida todo el cafe que esta en el filtro, mu practica y facil de usar, queda el cafe a gusto de cada quien.

Husband has been using this for a few months now as he wanted a separate coffee blend in the morning. It is easy to use and makes about 2 mugs worth of coffee. Does not have an automatic shut off but that is fine since he just switches off the warming plate as he pours his second cup. It does have a slightly smaller basket size that you could buy different filters for but it's not really necessary. We just use the regular size basket filters squished a little bit and have never had any problems with grounds escaping. Works perfectly for its intended purpose.

STOP BUYING EXPENSIVE COFFEE POTS!!! I was tired of spending $80+ once a year on a coffee pot that would only last a year and had special screws so that you couldn't get in and clean the water pipes inside that so easily clogged. Just think of the crap your coffee water is being filtered through before making your coffee. I'm so angry, those screws should be illegal. This coffee pot is just a simple, manual machine that would make coffee fast. Forget throwing so much money away so you can set a clock to have coffee for the morning. You can pour the water and put the grinds in the night before then simply click it on in the morning or spend one minute doing it in the morning and have your coffee faster than you can finish your morning bathroom routine. I'm angry at these companies that deliberately put those screws there to deliberately (uhum) screw you to get more money from you. So what if you spend a few days to get your perfect coffee flavour, you generally have to do that with any pot. I did have to use a bit more coffee with this one because it pours so fast - or maybe it's simply because it's a 12 cup pot instead of the 10 cup I was using. I also had x3 thermos coffee pots from the more expensive machines so I simply pour the coffee into one and voila !! Hot coffee for the day without the burn. THANK YOU 'BLACK and DECKER' for this cost-saving "Easy Pour, Non-Drip Carafe with Removable Filter Basket" product. I actually didn't check the type of screws on this one, yet - I'm still too angry about them, but I hope you think about normal ones if you're using those 'screwy' ones. Give the consumer a chance to drink clean water by letting us clean those pipes inside. I guarantee you'll increase sales on any of your coffee pots if you advertise that ability to always drink clean water with 'Black and Decker' products!
