Review on ☕ 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker by Black & Decker CMD3400MB by Paul Stephenson

Don't be put off by the low price - this is a quality coffee maker. OK, made decent coffee but had some issues - see other reviews for details). After reviewing the reviews, it turned out that NONE of the 12-cup coffee makers received such a high rating. I decided to go low because I figured I wouldn't lose much if it didn't work. This Black & Decker costs almost half that of a Cuisinart and outperforms the more expensive brand in almost every way: ease of use, quality of the coffee brewed, ease of programming, easy cleaning, and features. For example: I like my coffee a little stronger. With my former breeder, I had to use more coffee to get the flavor I wanted. With this machine, I just press the strength button to select strong and I get just the right strength with less coffee. Programming is also very easy. And I like the blue backlight on the display, as well as the water level. Easy to use, attractive, tasty coffee maker and all at a very reasonable price: what more could you ask for?
