1.0 out of 5 stars Coffee not hot enough; poor design, May 12, 2008

This review is from: Black & Decker DCM1400 Cafe Noir 10-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker, White (Kitchen)

My husband bought me this coffee pot because I was insistent on a cone coffee filter. The only good things about this unit are the auto-off feature and the programmable clock. All others, are really poorly designed. For example, the water reservoir lid does not go all the way up while the carafe lid does not come off - end result is that when you fill the machine, water dribbles EVERYWHERE. For the same reason, coffee dribbles out of the pot when pouring it, so you have to pour it over the sink. The pause and serve feature is a spring rather than a lever mechanism, and after a few times of using the machine, the mechanism becomes shifted which means you can't PAUSE and SERVE.

All those complaints are minimal compared with the one main complaint that I have and that is that the coffee is never hot. I have to nuke my coffee in order to make it hot enough. I thought it was just me initially, but I had company over the other day and they said the same thing without prompting. Just generally a poor design, and goes to show you get what you pay for.

Very pleased with this model from Black & Decker. Top stays put unlike my old machine and the carafe is wide enough to get your hand in to clean it well. Wish they would work on a dripless carafe lip.
