Nice Simplicity Spoiled by Terrible Build Quality, May 27, 2008
This review is from: Black&Decker DE790 B&D 8cup COFFEE MAKER PRGRMBL.-THERMAL CARAFE-WHITE
We've had this coffee maker for about nine months. It was originally purchased because I desired a coffee maker with a thermal carafe, but without all the bells and whistles. Unfortunately, the carafe has always leaked and it has been getting worse with time. In the past couple of months, the lid has broken off and is now falling apart. We're two adults that are very gentle on this appliance. It should have lasted much, much longer.

Somewhat disappointed, August 23, 2007
My main criteria for buying this coffeemaker was the fact that it had a thermal carafe. I was under the impression that I was ordering a black coffeemaker, but the one I received was white. As a result the water line markings are in white and very difficult to read. Also it is somewhat awkward to fill. The carafe lid is not easy to insert correctly despite the directional arrows. Honestly, the only reason I'm keeping it is because the only other coffeemakers with stainless steel carafes I can find are way too expensive because of all the "bells and whistles" on them. I just want a regular coffeemaker with a thermal carafe to keep the coffee hot without turning bitter by sitting on a hot plate.

Several problems for only "okay" coffee, September 15, 2008
This review is from: Black&Decker DE790 B&D 8cup COFFEE MAKER PRGRMBL.-THERMAL CARAFE-WHITE
I've owned this coffee maker for about 2 years.
Problems:
- carafe lid requires fooling around with to make it fit right
- carafe drips onto counter every time we pour a cup of coffee
- it is a little awkward to fill the water container so we often spill some water around the coffee maker
- the filter basket has a gizmo on it that doesn't stay popped on
And, now, the coffee maker no longer makes a full pot of coffee, shutting itself off after there is just an inch or so of coffee in the bottom of the carafe. When we push the on button, it will again make about an inch of coffee and shut itself off.
