I bought this same Black and Decker coffee maker at a department store. It worked fine for a few months. I broke the carafe and when I discovered the carafe cost as much as a new maker, I decided to just buy a new coffee maker.
The new one worked for 3 & 1/2 weeks.
I took the old coffee maker and new carafe and set the new one aside.
Today the old one would not heat or perk.
I can not return it because I no longer have the box. ( my fault.)
I certainly shouldn't have to pay postage on a new product less than a month old.Nevermore, nevermore. Save your money, this has been no bargain.

Just a short word to voice my praise for this coffee maker. I've used it now for over a week and am very impressed. I reviewed many different coffee makers and found this one to be the best value. I was primarily searching for an ergonomically designed coffee maker with a programmable feature. This set is phenomenal and even comes with a bonus coffee grinder. Great value!
Rating: - Practical Features! & Competitively Priced ...
Some coffee makers just don't brew the coffee hot enough.This model has ADJUSTABLE HEAT SETTINGS. I think the hottest setting would be the most universal but that depends on individual preference. The AUTOMATIC OFF safty feature - adjustable from 1 - 4 hours -is very nice if you have one VERY early riser in the household. The quality of the brew holds up well in our opinion. The capacity gauge on the outside is clearly visible & the reservoir is easy to fill without spillage. The coffee basket lifts out easily & there is no fumbling to replace it. Two unusual advantages are the DARK BROWN basket that holds the coffee and the PLASTIC POURING SPOUT. Face it - no matter how careful you are, coffee WILL stain - at least this way you don't have to look at it! The plastic spout is something I haven't seen before - part of the plastic 'collar/handle' unit. This is especially practical because it's easy to break the glass spouts on coffee makers when rinsing them. The AUTOMATIC PROGRAMMING feature will be important to many users. Lastly - the unit makes a fine cup of coffee, which I think depends more on the type of coffee used than the pot itself anyway. The unit is new but so far I have no negative comments to make. We're very happy with it.
