I have gone through MANY coffee makers throughout the years: fancy ninja coffee machines, keurigs, etc. After my 3rd keurig broke on me one morning and forced me to go to starbucks, I knew I was done. I have 5 people in my house that drink coffee in the morning. Went on amazon and looked for a no bells, no whistles, no frills drip coffee maker and came across this one. I use 10 grams (about 2 tbsp) of ground coffee per 2-cup line on this coffee maker, so for a full pot I use 60 grams or 12 tbsp of regular ground coffee (I'm a folgers girlie). Brew time for a full pot is about 5-10 minutes which is perfectly fine. Coffee from this machine comes out HOT and is the perfect strength. Fresh coffee straight from the brew cycle sits around 170 degrees F, and if you leave it on the heater it sits around 170-180 degrees F. No burnt taste until after like 4 hours on the heating burner, which is totally fine. I live with very hard well water so I clean this machine around once a month with water to the 11-cup line and vinegar until the 12-cup line. It has worked perfectly for months and I will never go back to another type of brewer. Drip coffee for life.

Filling this is not as easy as my old coffee maker. The lid on this is large, it covers both the brewing chamber as well as the water reservoir. The access to the water reservoir is more narrow than any coffee maker I have used and I find I have to pour slowly and carefully or it spills all over. You have to lift the lid to remove the strainer basket, I'm used to pulling out the brew basket from the front, and this can get messy as condensate pours back down into the reservoir or pot. The sneek-a-cup feature (where you can grab a cup while it is still brewing) doesn't seem to seal very good. The machine is easy to clean.

This is a very basic coffee maker. It doesn't have a control panel or a computer. It doesn't think it's smarter than me and turn off when it thinks I've had enough or anything like that. It has an ON and OFF switch. I used a 24 hour timer that I bought online for $6.99 so it turns on when I decide and off when I decide. You can make up to 12 cups of coffee (which turns out to be 8 normal mugs) as weak or strong as you want and the only waste product is a bio-degradable paper filter that was made from recycled product in the first place. This is coffee like your fathers drank before then went to work building the skyscrapers and freeways and utility systems that are the foundation of our society - in Hollynut, Irish Wisk, Basil, Thyme and frillyBisk coffee in an environmentally destructive single serving cup before you shuffle back to the bedroom still in your PJs to continue your career as an "influencer."

This BLACK+DECKER coffee maker is super easy to use and brews a perfect pot every time. I used it to make my morning coffee before work, and the non-drip carafe made pouring a breeze—no spills at all. The 12-cup size is perfect for my household, and the on/off switch is so simple. It’s reliable, straightforward, and makes mornings way better!

Great price for a coffee maker. Well built, works well, it’s quiet and quick. Make sure you don’t forget to turn it off, it will stay on, and heating all day if you forget and the coffee will cook and stick to the bottom of the pot. Has been holding up great for the last 4 months.

Delivery was great! No problem with the delivery! Packaging was stellar! Nothing was broken. Delivery guy was fine. It’s the pot is so small. I have an insulated cup. I can only fill that one cup and maybe 1/4 cup more. So it’s a tiny little pot. I don’t have a lot of room to put a big pot. That was my challenge. So it’s my own fault. I live in this house with all these people and have only one cupboard. I have plates, bowls and silverware. Everything else is in my room. It’s a very small room. The smallest in the house. And all my spices and my coffee maker are on top of my dresser. Along with my coffee grinder, coffee filters, coffee, oils, and stuff falls on the carpet if I’m not uber careful. And there is no insulation so I have to be really quiet or the woman who is next door to me gets really mad. I have to be so quiet putting my clothes on, and not let my hangers make a noise. My door has to be shut softly. I’m in a “bad movie” I tell myself. I bought this because someone was turning my coffee off in the kitchen, after 45 minutes. Do I got this in my room! And now, it’s so tiny! But, it works fine, and the coffee comes out hot. It tastes good. Nothing wrong either the pot. It’s just tiny. I’ll live. I’ll find a new place to live eventually. I just don’t have the first last and extra deposit. And haven’t found a place in walking distance to a store and cafes.

Perfect pot for one or a crowd!
