However some Idiot threw the basket that holds the paper filters away or lost it

Very poorly designed basket

I'm going to try to get the missing basket

It works!Basket is unstable, filters are hard to find, often reshaping them by hand or scissor

We'll see if the new basket fixes the problem.

The basket broke after just a month of use

This I do not fault the coffee maker, some have the drip arm securing the basket to ensure the ball connection is tight

If you don't hold your mouth right, the basket overflows and ruins the coffee.

This design, the lid, snapping close, applies the pressure to secure the grind basket, ensuring good flow during brewing.

Product is missing the filter basket as described

Shame to throw away an otherwise fine working coffee maker that likely has a loose connection or short, I will never know because for some reason B&D uses these ridiculous screws to discourage self reliance.

I don't know if the manufacturer changed components and got a bad batch, but this model isn't as good as the B&D model from years past

Great coffee, doesn't burn as it stays warm.

The coffee tastes every bit as good as -- or better than -- the coffee I made for 20 years in my now-defunct Krups.

I bought this in april 2015 and it has now stopped working as of Jan 7,2016

Frequently overflows as it's easy to misplace the pot and there's no auto shut off for the pot when that happens

Works as i had hoped.

Works as it should.

Maybe I’m a rough user, but I’ve owned my GM 4-cup brewer for a good 7 year’s before I had to replace it

Our future son-in-law had some requirement’s for a coffee-maker: programmable, clock, 12 cup, durable (not cheap looking or functioning), easy to add water and easy to clean
