4.0 out of 5 stars Reliable Coffee Maker
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...

1.0 out of 5 stars Piece of junk!
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,...

This review is from: Black & Decker DCM100B 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker with Glass Carafe (Kitchen)
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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Lousy quality, February 14, 2010

This review is from: Black & Decker DCM100B 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker with Glass Carafe (Kitchen)
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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't sit right, August 31, 2009
This review is from: Black & Decker DCM100B 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker with Glass Carafe (Kitchen)
The coffee pot sits on the plate incorrectly thus causing drippage all over the counter! I do not reccommend this to a friend.

1.0 out of 5 stars junk, April 5, 2010

This review is from: Black & Decker DCM100B 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker with Glass Carafe (Kitchen)
Used it five days a week for only a couple of months. The lip on the upper handle that goes over the glass carafe broke. Luckily the bottom of the handle was strapped to the lower part of the carafe or I would have probably burned myself. I went to big box store where I bought it to get new carafe. None available. These big corporations constantly change the styles and models so you have to buy a whole new set.

1.0 out of 5 stars Total piece of trash, January 8, 2012
This review is from: Black & Decker DCM100B 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker with Glass Carafe (Kitchen)
Target has this on clearance, turns out they knew something I didn't. It spilled water all over my counter as soon as I poured water in it. I'm taking this back to Target as soon as I finish this review.

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not good, April 25, 2010
This review is from: Black & Decker DCM100B 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker with Glass Carafe (Kitchen)
The first one we bought took thirty minutes to brew the entire twelve cups. The second one is louder than my alarm clock and leaks all over when it's brewing. Definitely avoid this one.

After 8 months of once a day use, this coffeemaker quit working. At least I won't have to clean up after it anymore!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Cheap, February 27, 2012
This review is from: Black & Decker DCM100B 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker with Glass Carafe (Kitchen)
Bought this at Target, in 9 months the carafe cracked while hand drying it. It had been 12 hours since brewing the coffee so it wasn't a temperature issue. My last coffeemaker made is 10 years, I just had a feeling the cheapest digital one I could find wouldn't make it a year. I also have had problems with the power turning off and on, if you use the other plug on the outlet with this product, like say a toaster they will both flicker. Guess I'll go back to DeLonghi.

1.0 out of 5 stars Only last 2 months!!, February 26, 2012
This review is from: Black & Decker DCM100B 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker with Glass Carafe (Kitchen)
I bought one Black and Decker coffee maker but returned it because it leaked all over my counter the first time I used it. Went back and got this model and the on/off and auto button have stopped working AFTER ONLY 2 MONTHS!! When i press "on" nothing happens but will randomly work when it feels like it. I am calling Black and Decker and asking for a refund. Do not buy this, it is junk as is all of their other coffee makers. They should last longer than 2 months and I am one unhappy customer!
