Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Brew up to 8 cups of great-tasting coffee at a time with this easy-to-use coffeemaker. The unit's programmable clock and timer make it possible to wake up to the smell of freshly brewed coffee--or to have a pot ready to serve with dessert, without having to get up from the table half way through dinner. The coffeemaker comes with a sleek-looking thermal carafe, which not only keeps coffee at an ideal serving temperature, but also provides a generous stay-cool handle and a dripless pour spout for graceful serving. Removing the carafe midbrew pauses the flow of coffee and allows for pouring a quick cup--great for those in a hurry. Other highlights include a water-level indicator window, a removable filter basket, a cupcake filter type, a user-friendly control panel with an LED display, auto shut-off for peace of mind, and cord storage to help keep counters looking tidy. The coffeemaker measures approximately 11-1/2 by 8-8/9 by 13-8/9 inches.

Not good enough for Goodwill,
By
This review is from: Black & Decker CM1509 8-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker with Thermal Carafe (Kitchen)
There are so many things wrong with this coffeemaker that I don't know where to start. I wanted to like it - my husband and daughter bought it when she and other family were in town visiting and our Braun coffeemaker stopped working. That was Mothers Day. I finally gave up yesterday, three months later. Here are the problems:
1. Weak coffee. There are two kinds of coffee drinkers in America: "is that tea or coffee, Mom?" coffee drinkers and coffee shop coffee drinkers. Yes, there really is a difference, and it begins with strength of the coffee (along with being freshly brewed, good quality beans, clean equipment, and, in most places, filtered water). But I digress. If you're OK with Aunt Mildred's coffee, you may be OK with this machine. It evidently pushes the heated water through the grounds too fast. There is no way to get a really strong cup of coffee, no matter how much coffee you use. For regular strength, we were using twice as much coffee as with the Braun. Possibly more. Cheaper just to go down to Starbucks. 2. Badly designed carafe. There is a seam someplace that allows water to get in between the inner sleeve and outer portion of the carafe. That means that water sloshes around there. It's cold when the hot coffee is going in, and so cools down the interior. It's like pouring your hot coffee into a chilled glass. Other reviewers have said that this trapped water mixes with the coffee. I don't think it does, but it offends me nonetheless. 3. Cold coffee. Probably because of #2, but also because of the energy-saving design of what is usually a warmer below the carafe not being a warmer. The cooled coffee sits in the carafe and isn't warmed. Plan on using your microwave for every cup. 4. Messy looking on the counter. Because the carafe has that seam that leaks, it sweats out calcified water. Or something. It looks leprous. 5. Cheaply glued on control panel. Look at the photo. See the control panel at the bottom? Be careful when you clean it because of its leprosy (described in #4), because the entire panel seems to be pasted on. As in temporarily pasted on. 6. The cup-measure on the side is purely for show. There is no way to actually see how much water there is inside, even with a flashlight. It's no big deal, since I always put in the same amount of water from a big glass that is my coffee-water-measuring glass, but the fact that the numbers are there is misleading. (Actually, if you put your finger on the number outside the coffeemaker, and then crane your head around to look inside, you can see your finger and thus know how much water there is.) 7. No way to use a gold cone. 8. Badly designed column - where you pour the water in. It's awkward to reach, and too close to the grounds, so that I often end up splashing water on the grounds. 9. It did once explode, as other reviewers have complained about. I think I did something wrong - but what? - and instead of going into the carafe, the weak watery stuff that this machine produces went all over the counter. Eight cups of it. I felt so relieved when I found the ancient Gevalia 4-cup machine in the basement. Lovely coffee. I'll never buy a Black & Decker coffeemaker again - but I want one of their hedge trimmers. Summing up, I feel guilty about giving this coffeemaker to Goodwill. No one should even pay $5 for it. It's going in the trash.

Not bad if you like cold coffee,
By DrBubba (Right Here) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Black & Decker CM1509 8-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker with Thermal Carafe (Kitchen)
We bought this coffee maker about 5 days ago and were immediately and continuously disappointed. The carafe keeps the coffee tepid at best. There is no heating element on the coffee maker. From the moment coffee is made (not very hot) it gets cold. Within 30 minutes it is not drinkable. Additionally, the reservoir fill markers are easy to see but it is very, very difficult to see the water level. Unless you look directly into the coffee maker reservoir or pour the water into the reservoir from some premeasured container, it is almost impossible to determine how much water is in the reservoir.

Not perfect, but works for us...,
By RoadBikePete (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Black & Decker CM1509 8-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker with Thermal Carafe (Kitchen)
One of the problems I have with counter top appliances is how they take up all the counter top space. When I looked at a display in the store, so many coffee makers were so tall or so wide or so deep, it became a search for a reasonable size coffee maker, also it's difficult to find a 6-8 cups capacity.
We never really used the heating plate of our old Krups coffee maker. When the coffee was brewed, it went into a cup or thermos. This new Black & Decker coffee maker isn't perhaps for everyone. It makes a smaller amount of coffee, it's already a thermal container and it shuts off after brewing. The size is just right for our kitchen, the black plastic and stainless look works with our kitchen design. One of the things I really appreciate is the lack of "special water filters" like our old Krups. You ever try to find coffee maker water filters after a few years? This one is inexpensive, looks good, brews a good cup and doesn't take up the entire kitchen counter.
