1.0 out of 5 stars
The worst POS coffeemaker ever ... doesn't deserve even 1 star, January 21, 2006
This review is from: Toastmaster TCM10PW 10-Cup Automatic Coffee Maker (Kitchen)
My old coffeemaker finally gave up the ghost over Christmas. I felt guilty spending a lot of money on myself to get another machine so I went with Target's cheapest ... this Toastmaster. It is a choice I have resented and regretted ever since. I will *never* buy a Toastmaster product again. You can't pour water or coffee without it spilling all over the counter. The machine is poorly built in that you can barely get the coffeepot out without forcing open the flimsy coffee door. There's no auto-off option. The "stop and pour a cup" concept doesn't work -- you run serious risk of burning yourself (or the house down) using this machine on a day-to-day basis and mine is going in the trash. I went to Walmart last night and bought a decent Mr. Coffee machine with all the bells and whistles for $50 and it is already worth the price because of the lack of aggravation and disgust I didn't have to suffer thru this morning, just to get a cup o' joe going. Save yourself the misery and spend the extra money on a different brand. In this case, you *do* get what you pay for ... don't pay for this, whatever you do!

You get what you pay for..., July 3, 2003

This review is from: Toastmaster TCM10PW 10-Cup Automatic Coffee Maker (Kitchen)
I bought this product after my 10 year old Mr. Coffee finally gave up the ghost. The low cost of the Toastmaster caught my eye. Unfortunately, even the low price is too expensive for this product. It took me 10 minutes just to figure out how to open the swing basket. The latch is strong enough so you think you're going to break the plastic just trying to open it. The pot is very difficult to get in and out when coffee is brewing and it spills everywhere when pouring anything over a half full pot. If you don't like grounds in your coffee, you will need to purchase cone filters, which are more expensive than standard filters. Finally, and this is my fault, I didn't notice that this brand doesn't have an automatic shut-off. I can't tell you the number of times I've forgotten to turn it off. I'm thoroughly disappointed with this purchase and will definitely spend the money to get a better product next time.

If you don't mind spilling every time you pour, buy this..., December 14, 2003
This review is from: Toastmaster TCM10PW 10-Cup Automatic Coffee Maker (Kitchen)
The other reviewer had it right: every time you go to pour a cup, the carafe spills coffee on your counter and down the side of your cup. Ha, come on Toastmaster, people have been pouring things out of pots since the dawn of time--surely you can design a pot that doesn't spill every time you pour! You have to clean this machine more often b/c of the spills and it's a white machine. We have this machine at work (actually, the model WITH the auto shut-off--it's no better) and I curse it every time I use it. We have to lay paper towels in front of the machine for WHEN (not IF) it spills.
