    • I finally got it after calling B&D to complain, they sent me a new one

    • Other than that, I am convinced that I will never buy a coffee maker with hot plate again!I almost forgot to mention that B&D has made a miraculous, scientific break through pouring spout!!
    • Yes, B&D gets blamed for that as well (guilt by association).

    • Love B&D!
    • so I like it hot and fresh typically
    • As much as I like everything else about the machine I doubt I will purchase another one.
    • So far ok I set timer foru coffee not always as hot as I like
    • Seems it had issues, as it has been discontinued, or maybe mine was defective - as I
    • Fortunately, this coffeemaker works as well as or better than any we have previously owned (and all of those were much more expensive).We use dark-roast coffee exclusively and we both like our coffee strong

    • Works as excepted.
    • Needless to say I would recommend this coffee pot as of right now
    • Not quite as hot as I would like, so only four stars.
    • DO NOT BUY, bought in June of 2017 hardly used and now does not work as of
    • This is easy to use and adjustable as to how bold you really want your cup of Joe
    • Not having bells and whistles didn't bother me as it was reliable and made good coffee right until the end.
    • For those that like coffee extremely hot, this may not be for you, it will not be as hot as with a typical coffee maker
