Black & Decker DCM100B 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker with Glass Carafe

About 10 months after I bought one of these, it started randomly shutting off during the brew cycle. The plastic rim around the hot plate cracked one day while brewing. Applica (the manufacturer) replaced it for a $7.50 fee under the warranty. Now, less than a month after getting the replacement, this one is doing the same thing, stopping in the middle of a brew cycle, and this morning the rim around the hot plate cracked while brewing a pot. Had a Braun for years before this piece of junk and it never gave me any trouble.

Special-fit carafe MUST sit in place to disengage the "brew stop" feature,

or you will be cleaning up your coffee as it overflows on the counter.

PAPER THIN carafe (I have no idea where it is from, but lemme guess, China?)

A small tap on the water faucet: time for a new carafe.

DO NOT buy a "compatible" carafe, even if you can find one. If it doesn't

fit EXACTLY as the original, you again get to clean up the coffee from the

counter.

I would recommend this to Bernie Madoff and would require he hold it in

his lap, making coffee with an ill-fitting replacement cafe, while

in his underwear. Other than that, stay away.

Great gag gift for people who think dribble cups are funny.

The coffee pot sits on the plate incorrectly thus causing drippage all over the counter! I do not reccommend this to a friend.

I've owned this coffee maker for a year and it has made a reliable cup of Joe every time. I have not experienced the brewing issues posted by other reviewers, just good coffee. My only complaint is that the lip of the carafe is poorly design. Whenever I pour coffee to my cup, a few drops drip to the floor...no mater the tilt or speed of the pour. This design flaw could have easily been caught by the design team and for that, it losing a full star.

I had been looking for a new coffeemaker for awhile and couldn't find one that I liked both the looks and features in stores. I received a coupon for Amazon.com & decided to see what coffeemakers they had. I saw this one & with the discount coupon only paid $9.99, so I thought I'd try it. I really like the look & design of the coffeemaker & it is very easy to use.
