Unfortunately, this model has a design flaw which will prevent us from using it

It makes a decent cup of coffee, so for the money it's a good buy, but 2 design flaws I wanted to mention: The red light stays on whether the machine is on or off, so it's hard to tell at a distance if the machine is off

I wrote the review below after being disappointed in what I thought was a design flaw in the coffee maker that made it difficult to get the carafe in and out

OK for the money, but it has a major design flaw in the filter basket in that there is nothing to prevent coffee from dripping onto the counter top, floor, or whatever when you remove the filter after making coffee.

However there are a few very annoying and messy design flaws that are NOT justified by the price: it leaks from the sides of you try to make the full amount, and the carafe is somehow designed to not actually pour correctly, but instead dribbles coffee down the side and everywhere when you try to use it.

I did not like the design "flaw" that forced one to wait for a cup until all water had flowed into pot but that was a simple inconvenience

It's a good little machine, but there is one annoying design flaw

The on/off switch button and cover broke within a month of purchase, the second B+D coffee maker to break with normal wear and tear in a year

Another fail B&D!

With all that said, I love this coffeemaker, well done B&D!

Good ol B&D thanks

Good ol B&D thanks

If you are indifferent as to your coffee...and, just want it 'quick & dirty'

Also easy to clean as it doesn't have a lot of electronic part.
