Review on 🔌 BLACK+DECKER 12-Cup Thermal Coffee Maker, Black-Silver, CM2035B by Tonya Jones

I bought a newer version of the 12-cup coffee maker (CM2045B-1) and I like it much better than the previous one one (CM2035) . It is well made and has a large capacity in a small body size. It works quietly, but needs more than 20 minutes for a "strong" brewing mode. No signal at the end. This is ideal for not waking up other family members. The display is easy to read for the time, but the PM indicator is harder to see. The water tank is inside the unit, so I use a large jug. Pour water. Large vacuum jug for 12 cups. It seems to pull more heat out of the coffee than my previous 10 cup version. They recommend preheating the carafe, but that won't work if you're using a timer. The plastic top looks like a spaceship, which is pretty funny. Everything suits me, everything is just different. The reusable coffee grounds basket is easy to remove and clean. However, I am concerned about how long the connection lifespan might last. There is no way to order a replacement, which I found. It would be nice if they gave you a backup. Overall, this is a well-made and attractive device that I'm proud to have on our workbench.
