Review on ☕️ Black+Decker 12-Cup Programmable Coffee Maker CM1160B, Black/Stainless Steel by Gus Pierson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Design flaw = ground coffee in the pot!

I have had this type of coffee maker from Black & Decker and other companies for 20 years. This is a very traditional plastic coffee maker that does exactly what you think it will. WITH A FATAL MISTAKE. Water drips into the grinder FASTER than coffee drips into the pot from below. This is not user error, a misplaced coffee pot, or a misaligned basket. It's just a simple and annoying design flaw. Therefore, every time you make coffee with this coffee maker, the basket of ground coffee and filters will overflow. The ground coffee goes past the filter and unfortunately the ground coffee ends up in the pot. Everything else about this coffee maker works great, especially for the price. Programmable, easy to use, stay hot whatever! But for this reason I cannot recommend it.

Pros
  • Finally bought it
Cons
  • Makes me nervous
