Black & Decker CM5050 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker Review

The coffee maker itself works great but the carafe is absolutely the worst I have ever had.You need to have a kitchen towel under it or you had better pour your coffee over the sink.I have resorted to using a pitcher to fill the water reservoir instead of the carafe to avoid water all over the place but what do you do once the coffee is made?Anyway--I would not recommend this coffee maker.Definitely a waste of $50.00!!!!

Coffee Maker, 12Cup, Switch Black Review

This has to be one of the worst coffee makers that I have ever used.The problems that I found were also stated by other people as well.I wish that I could give it less than one star.The problems that I found are as follows:

1. Attempting to fill water storage area for first time turned into a mess when I was focused on filling it up while being half asleep.Found that water was spilling out of the back from holes put there in manufacturing process.Idiotic design.

2. Unit leaks water from somewhere onto counter.Mystery leak that others complained about as well.

3. Carafe is the worst that I have had the misfortune of dealing with.Try to pour a cup of coffee & end up leaking on the counter, floor, etc.Whoever designed the carafe should be flogged or at least ridiculed by coworkers.

4. Unit overall is a mess to deal with.Everything about it is messy.The stupid swivel water dispenser is more trouble than it is worth.DON'T waster your money on this garbage.Find another model or different brand.

The unit's see-through carafe provides an ergonomic handle, measuring marks up the side, and a drip-free spout for graceful serving.

Starbrand Products Gevalia 12-Cup Coffeemaker Review

Over 3 months ago in early January, 2009, I ordered a replacement carafe for the "free" coffee maker they sent me. The wrong one was sent. I called and was assured they would send me a return address label. After a month, I called again and was told the same thing. The third time I asked for a supervisor and was told it would be handled. The forth time, I threatened to put up a youtube video and promised results. This was Andy employee number 643113 on April 2. Still nothing in the mail. On April 20 I called again and was told that my credit card had been refunded, but to get the proper carafe I had to re-order and be charged. I said, "You have got to be kidding. After 3 months of hell?" I still have not heard from them, nor do I expect to. I am stuck with the wrong carafe cluttering my house. I sent this review to Gevalia and they simply repeated their new song: your account was refunded to get the correct carafe, re-order. Fat chance!

Hamilton Beach 43253 Ensemble 12-Cup Coffeemaker with Glass Carafe, Red Review

We had no need for a new coffee pot.The free one from Gevelia was working just fine.However, on a recent trip to K-mart we caught this one on sale for just under 40 bucks, and it's RED!We've slowly been building up a counter top of red kitchen appliances, so the coffee maker fits right in!

Easy to clean!The mouth of the pitcher is as wide as the base, so it's easy to get your hand inside to clean it out unlike some.Few buttons, so it's easy to program too.Very light weight, so it's also easy to move the maker around if needed.No complaints about speed either.I never feel like I'm waiting on it to finish.One small complaint, but it's nothing major...there is no room for going over the 12 cup limit.It will overflow!Some makers have a little room for you to overfill, but not this one! No biggie, just don't overfill!

I also like the wide karaff on this one.A lot of pitchers have a weird karaff that always causes you to spill a few drops when pouring that first cup.Not this one!Clean up of the coffee ground chamber is easy too.I suggest investing in one of those permanent copper reusable filters.They work really well with this one. I have yet to end up with grounds in the coffee.
