Consumer review (epinions.com)

frequent spills but otherwise usable

 

It is hard to find a $20 coffee maker based on the old Mr. Coffee design these days. This was the best I could find, but I'm somewhat disappointed. Features: drip-stop - pot can be removed while brewing. Auto-off - pot heater turns off after 2 ...

Cheap. Drip-stop, timer, alarm.

Easy to spill, hard to refill.

Black and Decker's Carafe Gaffe

 

When our old faithful coffee maker died, I scurried right out to Wal-Mart to buy another so that there would be no disruption in our morning coffee ritual. I should have scurried right to my computer and looked up coffee makers on epinions. Instead, I ...

Auto shut-off, automatic timer, sneak-a-cup, reasonably priced.

Carafe can't pour without spilling. Basket removal is difficult. Coffee not hot enough for me.

Poorest design I have ever seen.

 

Whoever designed this coffee maker has never made a pot of coffee. All the good options are there but so poorly executed that this coffee maker is a daily annoyance.

The timer works.

Everything else.

Black & Decker 12-Cup VersaBrew Plus Programmable Coffeemaker DCM1250

 

Inexpensive, nice features, easy to clean

Carafe does spill some, but nothing major.

VersaBrew-Ha-Ha

 

Black and Decker? makes mighty fine hand tools. The same concern created a toaster oven my mother swears by and a simple iron yours truly abused by neglect for more than a decade. The tiny Handy/Chopper? resting upon my countertop gets plenty of use...

Digital timer ; Non-stick hot plate ; Sneak-a-Cup feature

Quirky configuration of the swing-out filter basket and carafe lid

Not a bad machine at all.

 

I picked one of these up for the Missus as I would come home for lunch and would smell the coffee burning that she left on while running out the door for work. I figured I need a pot with auto start and auto stop to keep the place from burning down....

Cheap, works well, lasts a long time.

For the 30 bucks I paid...none.

Heaven in a coffee maker..........

 

This is my first review so go easy on me, ok guys? :)

Good, fast coffee even after 5 years of use.

Carafe is a little small if you have coffee loving friends over.

Do yourself a favor and skip this maker!

 

Please bear with me, this is my first review. I HAD to sign myself up just so I can vent about my unhappiness with this product.

Inexpensive

POOR Design!

gourmet coffee for a great price

 

Buying this coffee maker is like buying a Geo Metro that has a Mercedes engine under the hood. The simple design could fool you into thinking it won't make a great cup of coffee. That's not at all the case. It makes an incredible pot of coffee...

inexpensive, durable, it's the reason I get up in the morning

it doesn't run to the store for more filter when I run out

Gotta have a cup o' joe?

 

Looks great, sturdy carafe, and super easy programming.

Basket hard to remove/replace, spills easy, and takes too long to brew.
