BLACK+DECKER (CM2030B) 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker Reviews

i always get a few few coffee grounds in coffee, that should not be, doesn't cook as fast as the older one, the coffee strength does not show up on screen like it says

I am very pleased with this purchase. I like that I have several options for coffee strength and that there is a 1-4 cup option. I like that the water viewing window is on the side so that I can easily see it. I am not sure how durable this will be since it's made of plastic, but it brews a good cup of coffee.

makes coffee great and shuts off its self.

This is the 2nd one of this exact item I have purchased. The first one worked great for quite some time (long enough I don't recall how long we had it). I ordered this one to replace it and had to search for this model, as the wide mouth pour and the keypad being at the top were very important to me. This one, arrived early January and by the end of March, the heating element died. We make 1 or 2 pots of coffee on an average day. I find this unacceptable and am replacing with a different brand completely. Hoping it will last longer than 2.5 months.

I have owned a pair of these coffee makers for several years now and have very little bad to say about them. They have made a pot of coffee for me every day. This morning was a sad morning when one of the twins actually stopped working. I was happy to see this model was still available and did not hesitate to order another one so my remaining maker would not be lonely for long. I don't really have a bad thing to say about these coffee makers. As a heads up there is a setting for "Strong" coffee. This just basically slows the brew speed down so you don't end up with grounds in the pot. The display is not bright so don't plan on using this device as your main clock. Once you set it up you don't really use the display again until you have to reprogram it anyway. I have put these makers through the ringer and until this morning they have not let me down. Can't wait to get my new one in a couple of days.

I really hate the saying, "You get what you pay for" when all I was actually doing was trying to get a good deal. 1st thing I noticed was all the water I had on my counter prer-made and all the coffee I had on the counter made. The lid was off quite a bit and thought that was the problem but it wasn't. Lifting the lid to pour didn't make any difference. What made the difference was to only brew 6 cups at a time and to pour very slooooow. The 2nd problem I had was the sediment. That started about 1 month after using daily so I knew that meant I needed a good cleaning. I used the vinegar/water method~FAIL. I used the straight vinegar~FAIL I used the CLR method~FAIL I really did actually try the Cofee Maker cleaner that I would assume is a waste of money and it was~FAIL Nothing helped with the nasty looking sediment I got at first, about 3-4 cups on the bottom progressing to the entire pot. (I do realize it needs a good cleaning but I don't know what else to clean in order to resolve the problem without taking it apart.) It has just gotten progressively worse so now I drink a great tasting cup of coffee, with my eyes closed. (Well, not really but I try to just not look.) I was going to replace the carafe but even that being cleaned properly, wouldn't help me out with the sediment. Since then, I purchased another, yes, Mr. Coffee. I just received my delivery today and haven't tried making coffee yet but the carafe is like pouring night and day. The lip has a different conture to it so I'm supposing the counters being soaked by a bad pour was not just happening to me and they have since resolved the matter. (Or, the extra $5.00 I paid is how you get a proper pouring carafe.) I won't say again, "You get what you pay for" because it is the exact same model. Just pricier. (?) If I don't get the sediment, I will be able to say, "I got myself a coffee maker that works great" as the price isn't what I wanted to pay.

I think this is an excellent coffee maker for the price! The design is nice, the functionality is great. It brews a super hot, great pot of coffee every time!

Do not listen to the negetive! There is noting wrong with my pot when you pour etc. Makes great coffee. I checked the reviews about 3-4 weeks ago before I purchased and it was a 5 star with 100% recommend. Not sure what is going on! If all this is true or just a slander campaign so other makers can pull it down so they can make some revenue. The last coffee pot I bought was $300.00 and I got it on sale for $150.00 if I remember correctly. This unit makes coffee just as good and keeps it warmer longer thanks to the glass pot and not the carafe.

I love the ease of this coffee maker. Of my favorite things: -Has two levels of bold brewing options. -Carafe doesn't spill water when filling the water reservoir. -Somewhat compact. Bought it twice, would buy a third.

Just replaced an older coffee maker with this one and I like it. None of the issues I read in other reviews are showing up in my machine. Perhaps they solved those. Works quickly and quietly and brews a good cup of coffee. What more can you ask for?
