BLACK+DECKER (CM2020B) 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker Reviews

First off this is the best coffee maker that I have owned in a long time. I am a vet

It's a good coffee maker. I would buy it again. Had trouble with the programmable settings.

Thought about spending $10 less on newer model CM2030B until I read reviews about poor/spilling carafe design on newer model...glad I spent $10 more and waited to have it shipped to store for free pickup.

I'm not understanding the negative reviews. I have owned this coffeemaker since 2012 and have had zero problems with it. I replaced it a few weeks ago only because I felt like after 4 years of use I should probably consider buying a new coffeemaker ... and I bought the exact same model. This coffeemaker makes a great cup of coffee quietly. If you keep the basket's drip mechanism clean it's truly non-drip. I also like the look of it, just enough stainless to be attractive but not so much that it glares. I feel like buying another one as backup that I can pull out in 4 years, just in case B&D doesn't make it any more. :) I totally recommend this coffemaker. Just want to add that B&D shipped the coffeemaker very quickly.

This is the second and same model Black & Decker machine that I buy. The first one lasted us almost three years. We brew coffee on a daily basis, sometimes twice each day, so I can recommend this machine.

on/off button needs a good push to turn on, but I appreciate the top which clamps shut tightly. A tight lid cuts down on the amount of evaporated water; thus, giving you the correct amount of coffee.

The ONLY negative comment I have on this item, is that it would be perfect, in my opinion, if it had a back-lite on the display. It is hard to see as it is, especially the info. in the corners of the display. Other than that one item, I am totally satisfied and happy with the product. It makes a great cup of coffee and fast too.

Our prior B&D 12 cupper broke down after about 6 or 7 years, and at a cost of about $5.00/year, I figured it was a pretty good return on investment. Easy to use for any number of cups and setting the timer is a cinch.

We have been very pleased with the coffee pot. Due to lack of counter space it was not convenient to be moving the pot back and forth as it drug on the counter. We put rollers on the bottom and it works very nicely. You might want to consider a pot with those attached. Of course it would increase the cost, but one would think only pennies. Thank you.

When our Krups pot died, we looked at all the pots on the market. Most were high dollar $100 to $200+. After looking at the high dollar ones, we choose this one because of price, ease of use, and appearance. It uses the Mr. Coffee type basket paper filters, openings on either side makes it easy to pour in the water. Some of the high dollar ones made it tough for a "lefty" to pour the water in. The only down side is the display does not have a back-light and it is hard to see. The pot is easy to use, makes excellent coffee, looks nice and has an automatic cleaning setting when it builds up scale. None of the high dollar ones had that. If you like good coffee, a pot that looks nice, at a good price-buy this one.
