Good machine, poor pot design
Pros
easy to use, excellent flavor of coffee
Cons
poor pot construction causes spills
Recommended it?
No
The Bottom Line:
Unless I find that my pot is a fluke and the usual pot design prevents spills, stay away from this machine until the pot is redesigned
This is an inexpensive machine but it generally functions very well. The biggest drawback and the only reason I would not buy it again or recommend it to anyone is the design of the pour spout on the pot. For some reason, the water and/or coffee spills down the side when pouring. So far this has happened every time we have used the machine - it is less than 3 weeks old. Besides making a mess and being very aggravating, there is a very real potential for serious injury to the person pouring the hot coffee. There is also a slight risk of electrical short if the machine is not constructed tightly. We have tried every conceivable way of pouring - top on/off, slow/medium/fast pour rate, all combinations, etc. - and have not been able to find a way to prevent this so now we just put a cloth down to catch the spill. I am going to send the company a letter about this. One reason we bought this machine is because of the trust I have in Black and Decker so I hope it is JUST my pot is faulty.
