Summary: 1 star for brewing coffee... 2006-06-01
Comment: I'm hoping I feel better after complaining about this coffee maker online,
because every day when I get a second cup of coffee, the brew pause lever
falls off and I rue the day I bought it. At least it was a gift to my dad, so when
I move out in a couple months, I can find a new one for me that actually works!
It has always made coffee, but frequently overflows if you don't position the pot
just right so the lever unplugs the basket. I have also noticed water dripping out
down near the ON button. Believe me I will be doing serious research before buying
a new coffee maker. Who knew you had to?

Summary: This is Black & Decker???? 2006-05-01
Comment: This is the worst coffee maker I ever had the misfortune to buy. I bought the first one and after the second pot of coffee it just went on strike, refused to make coffee. I returned thinking it was just a defective unit, HAH! Nope, the second one's filter arm came apart as was mentioned in a review. Needless to say, I returned that one and took store credit to get something else and brought my old Proctor Silex out of the "donate to charity" box. It may look ratty, but it's worked for 3 years with no glitches. Don't bother with the Black and Decker, it's truly a P.O.S..

Summary: Warning, Warning! Avoid this coffeemaker at all costs! 2005-09-11
Comment: Boy, I sure wish I'd read these reviews before buying this "coffeemaker". I had the exact same problems as everyone else right from the start. No matter how much jiggling and wiggling I did, it constantly overflowed ... I had grounds in the coffeepot, all over the counter and in the water resevoir! The "sneak-a-cup" never really worked...I would take out the pot and it would just run even faster! What a piece of junk. I lasted about a week before I pitched the darn thing and bought a DeLonghi for just $10 more that I absolutely love!
Save yourself the cost of the rolls of paper towels needed to clean up after each brewing session and avoid this coffeemaker!

Summary: Shoot the so-called designer of this coffeemaker! 2005-07-28
Comment: This is absolutely the worse coffeemaker I have ever owned or used. As indicated in the previous reviews, you end up with coffee grounds and water all over the counter and the design causes excessive amounts of grounds to fall into the water resevoir. The coffee is good but not any better than most. I cannot believe I let my husband talk me into getting rid of my Proctor Silex, 12-year old, "does nothing special" coffeemaker just because it was slowing down and looked old.

Summary: what a piece of junk 2005-07-17
Comment: this is a good looking pot with just the right features however it is a very lousy design. My problems are a filter arm that will not stay attached when you go to clean it or remove it from pot. I am constantly chasing the little spring down the sink, under the cabinets, under the stove or anywhere else that little thing can roll under. I have had B & D send me two replacements and they all stink! What a total waste of money. I will not buy B & D brand any time soon and most defently not with out reading reviews.
