BLACK+DECKER12-Cup Thermal Programmable Coffee maker, Brew Strength Selector, Auto-clean, Black and Silver

We have been using this coffee maker for a few months now, and it is holding up so well to our hard water in our rental. It keeps the coffee hot for several hours and brews very quickly. We use coffee maker cleaning tabs once a month, and this thing is working as though we just pulled it out of the box and started using it. Is so very worth every pinnie!!!

Had this for a month now and really pleased. It makes great coffee, the pot keeps it warm for at least 90 minutes, easy to clean, and the opening to put water in is nice and big. And a good price.

Had it for 5 months making coffee nearly every day. Excellent at making coffee, no leaks from the machine or carafe while pouring is all that is important to us. We use the standard paper filter because we compost the grounds and it works fine with it in. Reluctantly took off a star for minor issues we don't care about: the shiny finish which shows scratches, less carafe insulation than experienced with other brands, and a little hard to read the display. For us since it is typically just two of us sharing a pot over the whole morning and we add milk the carafe insulation is not a problem with a microwave close by. We don't use the clock for timed brewing overnight.

Me encantó, es práctica, la graduación de intensidad de volado "Strong" prepara el café ideal a mi gusto. Además el contenedor de café termico mantiene el café caliente por más de tres horas. Le mejoraría el colador, por uno que sea más duradero y facil de higienizar, viene con un colador plástico, le pondría un colador permanente de acero inoxidable. No me gusta usar filtros desechables, ya que daña el sabor del café.

Was looking for a large coffee maker with a carafe since I don't like burnt hot plate coffee. This one has been great!

Love this coffee maker having the stainless steel carafe you don’t have to worry about breaking and trying to find a replacement

This review is for the BLACK+DECKER 12-Cup CM2046S. I am 3 weeks into this coffee maker and so far no regrets. For an inexpensive $62 coffee maker I was pleasantly surprised to how excellent tasting the coffee has been! The YouTube Reviewer Just A Dad took the water temperature, during brewing, at 190 degrees. After pouring into the cup it was 175. This Black & Decker has a sleek look a with a carafe that has a wide opening, making it very easy to clean. It uses flat bottom filters that easily fit into the basket. I like the pulsating flashing blue power button during brewing, and although there’s no beep at the end of the cycle it goes into countdown mode beginning at 120 minutes to let you know how long the coffee is in the carafe. After 2 hours it will automatically shut off. It has a Bold feature for optimal extraction of the coffee grounds. I made coffee with and without the Bold feature and either way the coffee comes out hot and tasty. It brews a little slower on the Bold setting and the coffee is slightly stronger without being bitter.Prior to this I had a Zujirushi 10 cup maker with thermal carafe and enjoyed it for about 3 years until it began leaking puddles of water. My wife and I also noticed that the coffee was gradually not as hot as it used to be. Comparing the flavor of this Black & Decker to the Zujirushi, the B&D noticeably brews a well rounded smoother tasting cup of coffee. We now realize that the Zojirushi made coffee a little bit on the bitter side. It’s much slower brew may have caused over extraction of the coffee grounds. Before that I owned the Bonavita BV1800 glass carafe and for about 5 years it made excellent coffee until the warmer plate failed. I also owned a Technivorm Moccamaster and tried different settings and could not get a decent cup of coffee. I expected much more for $359 machine with all the positive reviews and it’s reputation. The other thing I didn’t like about it was all the plastic parts that needed to be cleaned. I ending up returning it after 2 days.So this B&D coffee maker does have a couple of features that could use improvement. As others have pointed out the clock display screen is not back lit and difficult to read. When I use the bold setting I could barely see the tiny “Bold” reading on the display. Not the end of the world as I have just trusted that it’s on that setting and notice that it will brew slightly slower as the grounds are getting soaked a little longer for that optimal flavor. The other thing is the stainless steel carafe. It will keep coffee hot for maybe an hour as my wife noted. She drinks her coffee a little than I do and sometimes has her second cup an hour and a half later. The most important thing for me is the temperature and the flavor and this coffee maker checks off both of those requirements. This coffee maker does have a 2-year limited warranty, so if it survives 3 years, I feel that it was an excellent value! So far I can recommend this beauty without hesitation!

This is a good, basic coffee maker. The only drawback is that the "programmable" feature is only good for 24 hours. I thought I would be able to program it so that, if I set it to brew every morning at 5am, that's what it would do. Not so. When I clean the pot and set it up for the next day, I need to remember to push the "brew later" button or it won't brew at 5am like I want it to. Not a big deal, but I didn't really want to have to remember to do that every day. I know I will forget one day!
