Review on πŸ”Œ BLACK+DECKER 12-Cup Thermal Coffee Maker, Black-Silver, CM2035B by Christine Moore

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great performance for a compact vacuum jug

Great coffee maker for those looking for a compact 12 cup vacuum jug coffee maker. Makes a delicious cup of coffee, especially when set to fat. After two hours I did a temperature check - it stays at 149 degrees - we are satisfied. The brewing cycle is quite long. If you're impatient or can't plan ahead when using a programmable feature, buy something else. The carafe is well balanced, easy to pour, easy to clean and not too heavy. Be sure to thoroughly flush the production oils from the brew basket and reservoir. Then, before the first real brew, do a few brewing cycles with just water. At first it smells like plastic. But it won't last long, especially if you keep all the points above in mind. Highly recommended, especially for the price. Black and Decker doesn't have Cuisinart branding, but this model works. I've had several double priced Cuisinarts but the control panel failed. Check-up after a few months: The device still works very well. I have just returned from visiting a friend who uses Bonavita. It also makes great coffee but doesn't cost twice as much. Same plastic construction. And you need to "be there" when the brewing process is finished, to close the carafe or the coffee starts to cool. And Bonavita only brews 8 cups. With Cuisinart now establishing itself as the manufacturer with the most quality issues, B&D remains at the forefront of thermographic coffee makers. There weren't any flaws like erasing labels etc. How often do you touch it? ?

Pros
  • Quality construction
