    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Coffee Maker with Great Features and Performance
    I recently purchased the BLACK+DECKER 12 Cup Thermal Programmable Coffee Maker, and I couldn’t be more pleased with its performance. The sleek black and steel design looks great on my countertop and adds a modern touch to my kitchen.

    The programmable feature is incredibly convenient, allowing me to set up my coffee the night before and wake up to a fresh brew. The VORTEX Technology ensures an even extraction of flavor, resulting in a rich and full-bodied cup of coffee every time. I also appreciate the brew strength selector, which lets me choose between regular and bold coffee to suit my preference.

    The thermal carafe is another standout feature—it keeps coffee hot for hours without the need for a hot plate, which helps preserve the flavor and prevents burning. The machine is easy to use and clean, with intuitive controls and a removable filter basket.

    Overall, this coffee maker offers excellent value with its combination of features, performance, and design. It’s been a fantastic addition to my morning routine, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and stylish coffee maker.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The best coffee maker I’ve ever had!
    This Black & Decker coffee maker is undoubtedly the best coffee maker I have ever owned. The stainless steel carafe is a significant improvement over the standard glass carafes, and it effectively maintains the temperature of my coffee for several hours. Furthermore, the carafe is effortless to clean and exceptionally durable. Remarkably, this coffee maker includes a reusable coffee filter, making it both dishwasher safe and cost-effective as it eliminates the need for disposable paper filters. The robust brew function is highly effective and noticeably enhances the intensity of the coffee. The auto-start feature is ideal for early risers who appreciate the convenience of waking up to freshly brewed coffee.

    The design is aesthetically pleasing and seamlessly complements various kitchen decors, owing to its elegant black and stainless steel finish. In summary, this coffee maker encompasses all the desirable features, is user-friendly, and includes a stainless steel carafe and reusable filter. What more could one possibly desire? I wholeheartedly recommend this exceptional coffee maker.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Could Look Better But Functions Well, Nice Features
    The media could not be loaded. This review is comparing the Black and Decker to a Cuisinart 12 Cup coffee maker (Maybe the DCC 1200 – looks mostly like it but a different finish/material).

    I got this Black and Decker unit over cheaper options for two reasons and BOTH turned out a bit worse than I thought. At least there are some other redeeming qualities. I’ll go over it all.

    Reason 1 I got this: “Washable brew basket” I thought that meant, like the Cuisinart, I never had to buy paper filters. I thought this was a reusable, washable filter. NO. WRONG. It’s just another cheap plastic bucket to put paper filters in. Exactly like what you get in the $20 coffee makers. Yes, it’s a removable and washable basket but the Cuisinart had that too AND a removable reusable filter. Now I’m back to lifting out soggy lumpy paper and carefully moving to a trash can unless I fork out an additional $10 for a third-party reusable filter. $10 isn’t terrible in and of itself, but it’s unconscionable to not include it with a $60 coffee maker. UCH.

    Reason 2 I got this: Stainless steel carafe. The Cuisinart is being replaced because the glass Charif finally broke. It lasted years and years, maybe even a decade. It has been bumped against the sink during cleaning several times, and the coffee maker was used almost every day. It was sturdy glass! It just finally couldn’t take another hit after a six year old messed with it. So I thought stainless steel would be the way to go. Far more durable, looks pretty cool, and is insulated! Well… It is more durable, and does look pretty cool, and is insulated. But I immediately realize how much I loved the seeing the remaining coffee in the Cuisinart – it even had cup level markings on the side. This not only allowed me to know exactly how much coffee was left but also allowed me to know how much water I was filling it with when I was making coffee. I cannot do either with a stainless steel carafe.

    Those were the two reasons I wanted to get this. But how is the rest of the coffee maker? There are positives and negatives for this as well.

    It looks really cheap. Extremely cheap. It all looks and feels like cheap plastic (except for the carafe). The bottom plate to hold the carafe looks especially thin and flimsy, with micro feet underneath to support what looks like something that’d otherwise bend and snap in half under the weight of a full carafe. Nothing about this unit outside the carafe looks premium. It certainly doesn’t look like this thing cost over $60. I don’t feel comfortable putting the carafe back when I pour myself a cup of coffee because every time it looks so thin and flimsy I have to be careful.

    The top of the unit gets very, very hot when brewing. On my old coffee maker, I could touch the top and it was not a problem. On the flipside, the Black and Decker has its first main benefit for me. The insulated stainless steel carafe means none of that gets hot to the touch, unlike the glass on the previous unit. And because the coffee pot relies on insulation to keep the coffee hot, there is no powered heated electric bottom to accidentally burn your hand and drain electricity after the coffee has finished brewing.

    I like that the clock and overall display screen is a bit bigger. It isn’t brighter though and the actual display numbers and text are still just as dark. But at least it being a larger size makes it a bit easier to see.

    The new unit has much larger buttons. I could go either way on that. Button size does not affect me. But I will say these larger buttons tend to feel cheap. You can press the button anywhere on its surface and it will work. But clearly the surface you touch is larger than the surface of the control board the button is interacting with inside. Indeed, there are areas of the button you can press that feel more “floppy“ or “mushy“, unless your finger presses directly over the part of the button that makes direct contact with its connection to the control board. My previous model had very tiny buttons, but that meant they could only ever feel one way, and it was very tactile, it had a “click“ feeling to it. And it wasn’t only buttons, it had switches which felt nice. This Black and Decker has no switches, and no button on it feels very “tactile.”

    I like the “Evenstream” showerhead. It’s true that even my older coffee maker had one single spout at the center top and after every brew, there was a very specific hole through the wet pile of coffee grounds, and I always did wonder if I was getting enough flavor from all the grounds around the sides. HOWEVER, lifting the lid during a brew, it would appear to me that the hot water would dispense enough into the basket that all the coffee grounds were fully submerged in hot water. So it appeared like, at least for a portion of the brew, flavor was being extracted from all the grounds. Still, there’s no denying that at the end of the brew, and, there was a very specific dent dead center of the coffee grounds. And to be clear, not only does this Black and Decker dispense water from multiple spots up top, it also feels the basket of coffee up like a tub, all the coffee grounds get fully submerged in the hot water.

    I can’t tell at the moment which keeps coffee hotter, longer. Obviously the Cuisineart isn’t insulated. But it rests on that hot plate for a while. The Black and Decker I THINK turns off a bit sooner, BUT it claims to keep the coffee hot in the pot for 2hrs. I haven’t timed it, and haven’t measured the temperature to know if there’s a difference.

    Edit: After posting this review I noticed one other thing. Like all coffee makers, there is an automatic lock/seal mechanism to prevent coffee from dripping out onto the platter when you remove the coffee pot. And the coffee pot itself has its own little lock/seal that when pressed down opens it up to receive the coffee. When you pull the coffee pot out, that top seal is… MOSTLY sealed shut. video shows, if you tip the coffee pot far enough, coffee will drip out that top mechanism. But this is all to say, after leaving the coffee pot back in the coffee maker for about five hours after my brew, was warm, but not hot. I know it says in the documentation I can keep coffee hot for about two hours… But next time I am going to remove the pot completely from the coffee maker when it’s done in hopes that the top mechanism, in its locked/sealed position, will keep the coffee hotter, longer.

    Bottom line: It doesn’t look and feel like a $60+ coffee maker, but the stainless steel carafe/pot helps. No reusable coffee filter – 3rd party can be bought fire about $10. You can’t see how much coffee is left or how much water you’re filling in the carafe/pot to use for a new brew until you pour into the coffee maker. It’s got a bigger but still dark display and bigger but a bit more flimsy feeling buttons compared to my Cuisineart. Still, a pot not hot to the touch and no hot bottom plate which also drains electricity is a respectable reason to chose this.

    5.0 out of 5 stars This is the best tea maker I have ever found.
    I have been on the hunt for a tea brewing machine and all the once’s specifically designed for tea,are fragile, awkward or messy. I figured I’d try this black n decker coffee maker and see if it could handle the job

    As a tea brewing machine , and I am absolutely astounded by its performance. This machine has proven to be the best tea maker in the world, hands down. It consistently brews tea to the perfect strength, ensuring a delightful cup every time. The warming feature keeps my tea at the ideal temperature, ready to enjoy at any moment.

    One of the standout features is its capacity to handle 12 cups of water, which is incredibly convenient for making large batches of iced tea. Cleaning is a breeze, with no clogs or hassle, making the maintenance of this machine effortless.

    In the past three years, this is by far one of the best purchases I have made on Amazon. It’s truly a blessing and has revolutionized my tea-making routine. This machine rocks my world, and I cannot recommend it highly enough!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Buy it! Seriously
    I’ve owned all kinds of coffee makers; drip like this style, French press, pour over. The carafe is made REALLY well, super heavy duty. No heating element for kids to burn themselves on, carafe is insulated. SMART! Halo drip head gets better coverage on coffee grounds, easy to self-clean with vinegar, simple design, delay brew feature for coffee ready when you wake up. I really love this coffee maker. With 2 kids and a wife time and economy are crucial. This one rules

    3.0 out of 5 stars Plasticy with no accessories but with some redeeming qualities
    It’s really light weight to the point that you can knock it over with no effort, no kidding it might weigh less than a spoon without the carafe. THe carafe has a whole lot going for it, pours perfectly, and keeps the coffee hot for a long time. I like the simplicity. You put your coffee in, your water in, set the carafe, push go. You don’t have to sign into an app and give away your pii to drink a coffee or anything like that. Should have come with 1-7 filters to get you started, that’s a big miss. Cord should be longer than it is, it’s less than a foot long from what I can tell. The coffee it made is actually pretty great. For the price, I’m giving it barely 3 stars. At this price it should obviously have a reusable coffee filter in the box, or some starter paper filters at least…

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great for iced coffee too!
    When my most important appliance (coffee maker) died last month, I replaced it with this B+D 12 cup maker. The most important feature I needed was the ability to make iced coffee* in the summer – so a glass carafe wasn’t a good idea. And since iced coffee lasts much longer than hot coffee, being able to make 12 cups, instead of the standard 10, is another good idea.
    I like the wide opening of the carafe, for cleaning (and filling it with ice is easier) but I wish the lids designed for all coffee makers with a ‘sneak a cup’ feature came apart for cleaning. They can hold several ounces of liquid inside the lid and get gunky if not thoroughly rinsed out. I like that the water indicator is a window, rather than some sort of separate tube gage (that was impossible to clean on my last one).
    The ‘strong’ feature saves a bit of coffee (it uses a longer brewing cycle, so you could use a little less, but the regular cycle makes a pretty good cup of coffee. I use the strong feature for iced coffee though, since the coffee needs to be double strength to hold up to the ice.
    I like that the power light pulses when the coffee is being made, and goes solid when done – often you never really know when things are done, even with that nice gurgling sound every drip maker makes at the end.
    As others have noted – if you leave the carafe in the coffee maker after it’s done, the valve at the top will remain open, letting heat out. You can solve this just by taking the coffee filter holder out, since you’re going to clean it at some point anyway.
    The water indicator, the ‘strong’ indicator and the time, is hard to read if you kitchen lighting isn’t good. That’s the only thing that effects the ‘easy to use’ rating.
    Otherwise it’s a coffee pot, and if you can’t figure it out, you are either in need of some coffee before operating this appliance, or should just let professional at a coffee shop make your coffee.

    *How To Make Iced Coffee:
    Please follow any manufacturers instructions for safety. Test with less ice the first few times and keep an eye on things since your ice trays may vary, and you don’t want to thing to overflow.
    Fill the water reservoir to 6 cups (indicated in the window), fill the coffee filter with as much ground coffee as you normally would for 12 cups (12 T’s or so) and fill the carafe with 2 trays of large ice cubes. I can get away with 3 trays – you are trying to almost fill it, but like I said, don’t make it overflow, or it’ll be messy. The ‘strong’ feature can save you a little coffee or as you might expect, make it stronger.
    As soon as it is done (when the light stops pulsing) put the carafe in your fridge (third most important appliance, after the furnace) and the ice will last for 24 hours.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Grounds for discontent; Drippity-doo-dah…
    I bought this after having experienced 12-cup thermal-carafe coffee makers at two of my stepkids’ homes. The ability to not have a glass carafe, and have hot coffee for my typical consumption of the full 12 cups, over a typical ~2-hour period, without having to worry about scorching the coffee appealed to me greatly.

    Both of those households liked their coffee considerably stronger than I, and so very fully filled their (in both cases) gold-mesh filters, one each round and cone style. So it was with considerable surprise that my 4-heaping-tablespoon-scoops coffee load (first picture) resulted in:

    Every single time, my brew basket came out looking like the second or third picture. I brewed every single day I owned this machine (returning it for refund on the last possible day, 34 pots later). Never was there no grounds in the basket. Sometimes a few, and …

    Sometimes a lot, resulting in the top of the carafe looking like the 4th picture. I can’t imagine what the outcome of putting in 12 tablespoons (nominally at least twice the load of my heaping tablespoon-scoop) would have been.

    Never was any potful free of drips. Sometimes, a LOT of drips. The most egregious of them looked like the last two pictures. It got to the point where I was NEVER without a folded paper towel next to my mug in order to catch the drips.

    I did everything I could think of to eliminate the drips. Tilt the pot, and THEN push the pouring seal. Push the pouring seal and THEN pour. Scrub the gasket between the top and the pot, and the gasket between the on/off pouring seal. The best I ever achieved was a few drips down the front of the pot. The worst is in the pictures.

    That’s all the negative stuff.

    The coffee was great. The pot, lid, and basket were easy to clean. If I didn’t mind the occasional instance of grounds in my coffee, or having to clean up every single time I brewed, sometimes several times in the 4 pours (my mug is a full pint, also insulated), the inevitable drips, I likely would have kept it, as the coffee was fine.

    A minor nuisance was that the water tank was a bit difficult to fill accurately without paying very strict attention, as the spray unit divided the width exactly in half, making a relatively small target for the full carafe.

    As I followed the recommendation of the owner’s manual and preheated the carafe before brewing, I never actually used the preset/overnight-ready setup; in fact, I stowed it in the cabinet directly over where I brewed, so it always displayed a flashing 12:00 – but I expect it would have worked as intended.

    I (obviously) have no idea why the carafe leaked or whatever-other-mechanism caused my drip issues. But I’m certain I could not have improved the coffee grounds issue, given my care in leveling my load, and the fact that it was perhaps a third of the normal load for the 12-cup brew I did each time. The only way I can conceive for that failure is that the drain wasn’t sufficiently large.

    I admit that, not having had an endoscope to sneak in during brewing I never got to see the effects of the multi-directional spray bar; I’d thought it a fantastic idea and it was one of the reasons I purchased this model. It may have been that the pressure was a bit too much and caused splashing of the grounds, but the very even level of the empty-of-water basket suggests otherwise, and that it simply overflowed the filter paper.

    One other niggle. As you can see, I have a wide-bottomed insulated mug. It’s a leftover from my 15 years of cruising on a sailboat. So old that it’s unobtanium now, and I’ve made it safe to use with an electrical tie reinforcement to the handle. But I digress… The subject pot gave me 4 cupfuls – the usual “12 cups” – if you count leaving a half-inch or so space at the top on each fill. So, this carafe, spiller though it was, wouldn’t deliver a full 12 cups, despite my filling it to the brim, and being rewarded, most times, with spillover (overfill as far as this one’s water reservoir was concerned).

    For whatever it’s worth, Amazon immediately refunded my purchase, for which I had already used up the credit to my ‘wallet’ by ordering the other version I’d considered when ordering this one. It’s the very similar-looking https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C2JK9Y8V – which I’ve used several times since my return of the subject unit, and found the resulting coffee grounds’ level as expected, which is to say the dark line went only about halfway up the edge. And furthermore, it delivers an honest 12 cups – 4 fills of my ancient mug, with only space enough left to put on the sipper, no-spill lid – every time. And the water reservoir fill opening is massive by comparison.

    If you’re considering the two, I’d definitely recommend the link immediately above, and give THIS one a pass.

    4.0 out of 5 stars lid broke after 7 years, couldn’t find a replacement lid
    I’ve had this Thermal Coffee Maker, for quite some time and I really enjoyed using it. The digital controls are user-friendly, making it easy to brew the perfect cup every time, and the brewing technology ensures that the coffee is consistently flavorful by distributing water evenly over the coffee grounds. The thermal carafe did a fantastic job of keeping coffee hot for hours without the burnt taste that comes from a heating plate.

    However, after seven years of reliable service, the lid of the carafe broke. I couldn’t find a replacement lid that didn’t cost as much as a new coffeemaker itself. I wish manufacturers made it easier to replace parts instead of having to get a whole new coffeemaker.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Better than most.
    I stopped buying coffee makers with glass carafes and heating plates years ago. This coffee maker has advantages over others I’ve owned. I’ve used the same coffee for years and this brews it as well as any. It’s easy to fill the reservoir because there’s ample access. The carafe has a larger opening than most, so you can get your hand inside to clean it. I would give it 5 stars except for two things. The settings/clock display is so tiny it’s very difficult to read. And, the carafe doesn’t keep the coffee warm for as long as others I’ve had. This is probably because the opening is much larger than others.
