Blessed with a carafe that pours without dripping, a water filter, and touchpad electronic controls, this coffeemaker provides safety, convenience, and a host of options for brewing 12 5-ounce cups at once. The carafe is calibrated for both filling the reservoir properly and for judging the amount of brewed coffee and the water filter improves taste by reducing chlorine. The control panel provides a 24-hour clock/timer for brewing "wake-up" coffee and permits the nonstick warming plate's temperature to be set as desired. Other features include a calibrated window on each side for monitoring the water reservoir's level, a hinged cover that flips back to reveal both reservoir and coffee filter, and cord storage. The carafe has a comfortable handle and a guard to protect the knuckles. The coffeemaker measures 7-3/4 inches wide, 12-1/2 inches high, and 10-1/4 inches deep. --Fred Brack

Timer/Auto Shutoff Do Not Work
»
I have spent so much time returning and following up on this thing, I am disgusted with myself. I am very surprised at how poor the customer service has been.

Not bad for a budget
»
For someone on a budget this simple coffee maker will get the job done. It has a programmable timer so you can set it to have your pot of coffee brewed when you get up, though i'd recommend setting it to brew AFTER your alarm has gone off.
The only real downside to this machine is that it beeps. At first it's nice to have that loud beeping to tell you the coffee is done or the machine is about to turn off. After a little while that beep begins to grate on you every time it goes off though. Of course you could give it as a gift or put it in the work place and laugh as all your coworkers cringe whenever it sounds.

B&D Coffee Maker
»
I ordered the B&D coffee maker after my old Mr. C. gave up the ghost. First, I read Consumer Reports. Then I ordered their top rated coffee maker. No regrets! This is a great coffee maker.
It has a very comfortable grip on the carafe and pours beautifully, with no drips. Maybe I'm just dreaming, but the coffee actually seems to taste better than with my old maker.
Bottom line -- it's an outstanding product at a great price.

Black& Decker DCM2500 SmartBrew 12-Cup Coffeemaker
After much research, I purchased this Consumer Reports highly rated Best Buy 6 weeks ago. While it makes a great cup of coffee, the carafe leaks. It seems to be coming from the area where the plastic handle/spout component joins the glass. I have attempted to resolve this with Black and Decker, only to find out that they have sold this product line to Applica. Attempts to contact Applica reroute me back to the Black and Decker web page where I started. I give up.

Coffee Maker Has A Few Issues.
»
I had ordered this product and had to send first one back cause water resivour was cracked and leaked. Second one I recieved works but has some issues.
Good: Makes a good cup of coffee, very well designed coffee pot, pause and serve feature works like a charm (no drips whatsoever), nice looking coffee maker.
Bad: Digital clock display has been messed up from day one, acts af if parts of display are burned out at times and other times shows correctly, when you raise lid to add water the condesation runs off it and always ends up on counter, the way the lid raises takes up enough room that when you are adding water/replacing filter/adding coffee grounds for most people you won't have enough room and have to pull it out to end off counter to be able to open lid enough or it will hit cabinets above.
Other than the bad stuff it still works good but i've only had it maybe a month so far, have never tried the timer on it though so don't know how well it works.
As for amazons returns, they do a great job! I went through process on there site for a return told them what the deal was, printed out a return label, shipped item back and had new coffee maker within same week.
