Black+Decker Programmable CM1331BS (Walmart Exclusive)

I received the BLACK+DECKER 12-Cup, Programmable, Exclusive VORTEXTM Technology, Premium Black Stainless Steel Coffeemaker about 3 weeks ago as part of the Spark Reviewer program. I waited a little while to write my review to have time to find something special about it. I was unable to. There are p...

Warning. When I opened the box and lifted the package out, the carat almost fell to the ground and broke. The packaging is such that the caraf is on the bottom of the box and not attached so as you lift, there's nothing to keep it from falling. Fortunately I was opening the box over the couch and th...

If you're not looking for super-fancy like cappuccino foam, or some color other than basic white, this does the job. A lot of the time it comes down to the basics. And this is a good price on a basic product. The complaint I have about the thing is the pot itself, as it has the cup levels marked on ...

On the plus side, it almost delivers a full 12 cups. Only because it takes more water to fill than a 12 cup Mr. Coffee. It's a snap to set up and clean but there are some down sides. The coffee is not nearly as hot as what came out of our one year old Mr. Coffee that shot craps last week. It doesn't...

It's not a horrible coffee maker, but it's not a good one. For the $45-$50 (what I paid), you could get a different coffee make that will last longer. First off, the grounds holder is made in a way that coffee grounds seem to always get into the pot unless you use an extra filter - I use a reusable ...

I like this coffee maker well enough. I was very excited about the feature that would let you adjust the strength of the coffee. My Mom used to have an old machine that would let you adjust the brew in a range all the way from weak to very strong and that what I was expecting here. However, this mak...

When I bought this coffeee maker it was highly rated for the price. Might have even been a Best Value. I have had it a little over two years. Shortly after I got it the lights on the controls began to grow dimmer. It got to the point where the only way to read it was in the dark! The size of the wri...

The only complaint is a slow brew time. Easy to set up and use. Very Very hot coffee. The vortex technology though makes it very slow to produce a full pot of coffee. It took close to half an hour for 6 cups to brew. If you are wanting a very hot cup of coffee ready when you wake up, then this is fo...

It lasted 7 months then abruptly quit working. The power-on light comes on, but the heating element must have gave out. Unfortunately, the bottom is held on with security screws (spanner) which my driver can't reach. I probably won't purchase this brand again due to "right to repair" and such a shor...

This coffee maker is a great design and looks modern. The coffee tastes great and the option to make it stronger or not is nice. My only gripe is when the lid opens after use, water drips down the back. I have to put a paper towel or cloth down to soak it up.
