Hamilton Beach 43501H 12 Cup Proctor-Silex Coffeemaker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've had this coffee maker for about a week and have used it every morning. It works just fine - quiet, simple, very basic. I especially appreciate the black fill markings inside where the water goes, this is so helpful to those of us with not-so-great vision. The only thing that I wish it had is a removeable lid on the carafe. Washing and drying the carafe would be so much easier if the lid snapped off. I've tried gently to take it from its hinge but it does not come away and I don't want to force it. UPDATE - I am now able to remove the lid for ease of washing and rinsing. I just had to sort of force it off one day and it has gotten easier now to take off and put back on. If they had said the lid was removeable in the instructions I would have tried sooner.

Better Chef 12-Cup Coffee Maker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Finding a "basic" coffee maker is hard these days. They all have clocks and digital settings that can drain a small amount of electricity when not in use. We never use the auto-settings and as far as a clock, I can look at my stove which is right next to it. I love the color though! we have a red and white kitchen and finding the right color reds has been an issue - red isn't always red. But, this is RED! Close to my Kitchen Aid red artisan mixer - just a tad lighter.
The coffee maker seems a bit noisy, but then they all seem that way to me... it drips slower than my last one, but the coffee tastes good and it is hot. Many times after the coffee is done dripping it is not as hot as it should be - this one makes hot coffee :-)

West Bend 56710 Performance Series 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This coffee maker just quit working 3 months after I received it. Could have been a possible fire hazard. It made very weak coffe when it did work. It's got lots of innovative features which drew me to this item. But I'd give it no stars. Don't wast your money.

Mr. Coffee CGX20-NP 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The secret to good coffee is a clean coffee maker. This one is the only one I found where all the components can be cleaned. You can fit your hand into the water holding tank and clean it. The up flow tube and disperser are removable for cleaning. If you can't clean these components or worse can't even see how dirty they are, then you have no idea how disgusting your coffee maker is. It's only $24 elsewhere.

Black & Decker DCM2500B SmartBrew Coffeemaker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Because we're serious about our coffee, we sold our old $100+ Cuisinart coffeemaker to be replaced with this much better designed and much easier to use coffee maker.
A motel room we stayed at had this model coffee maker. We used it twice a day for 10 days. The coffee was delicious and we found no minuses at all, so I bought one. We've been using it daily now for about three months.
The carafe is made of heavy duty glass and doesn't drip at all. The hole to pour water into is large and easy to get to. There are convenient and accurate water level windows on both sides of the unit. The controls are convenient, easy to understand, and easy to use. The basket is easily removed for cleaning, easy to position, and uses standard flat bottomed filters. The time and function displays are large and bright. All of these are comparative problem areas in the Cuisinart.
Programming works perfectly and is so simple to use we didn't need the manual. To set the time of day press the "Hours" button until it reaches the current hour and then the "Minutes" button. To set the "Auto on" time, press the "Program" button, and then set the start time the same way. Press the "Program" button again to go back to time of day. For auto start, press the "Auto on" button, which lights up. That's it.
In addition, the water enters the drip chamber in a shower rather than a stream, resulting in consistently smooth and uniform tasting coffee. I can't comment on the warming plate because we put what we don't drink immediately into a Thermos for all day use. The warming plate shuts itself off after two hours if you forget.
The negative reviews are a puzzle to me. We found none of the problems mentioned.
This is an addendum in mid Nov, 2007. The coffeemaker still makes perfect coffee and everything works like new. The only negative I'd add is that the warming plate is quite rusty, probably because I put a pot of tap water on it at night to have chlorine free water in the morning. Often the pot is damp. When we need to replace this coffeemaker, I'll paint the new warming plate with bar-b-cue paint before the first use, for rust protection.
This is an update, dated 11/20/07. The coffeemaker still works perfectly and still looks good. I sanded the rust off of the base plate, painted it with bar-b-cue paint, and as expected there is no more rust problem. I don't think the rust would occur for most people. I caused it by putting a wet pot on the plate overnight seven days a week.

Black & Decker DLX1050B 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker with Glass Carafe, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I picked out this coffee maker because of a reasonable price and was a recommended best buy in Consumers Report magazine. I have only had a week or so and can't address long term reliability. What it does do is NOT DRIP! It does not drip when pouring from the glass pot to the water reservoir or when pouring coffee into a cup. I do NOT have to be extra careful when pouring. It also stops the coffee flow from the filter as soon as I pull the pot out and does NOT drip on the warmer. Again, do NOT have to be extra careful here. It also does NOT leak condensation out of the water reservoir top when lifting the lid. The condensation on the reservoir lid drips back into the reservoir when the lid is lifted. The time and delay brew functions ARE easy to set and work fine. The coffee brewed fairly quickly and did not overflow the filter to allow grounds into the pot. So far, I am very happy with a product that someone spent some time making user friendly and practical. This is a well engineered inexpensive product.

Brew up to 12 cups of great-tasting coffee at a time with this programmable coffeemaker. Its soft-touch control panel provides an easy-to-read digital display and an auto-brew option, as well as a programmable clock and timer, which comes in handy for making "wake-up" coffee or for having a freshly brewed pot ready and waiting when it's time to serve dessert--no need to get up from the table half way through dinner. The appliance also offers a Sneak-A-Cup interrupt feature for pouring a quick cup midbrew, while its nonstick keep-warm plate ensures the last cup tastes as hot and fresh as the first. After keeping coffee hot for two hours, the appliance will shut off automatically for safety and peace of mind. A Duralife glass carafe comes included, complete with a generous stay-cool handle, measuring marks up the side, and a dripless pour spout for graceful serving. Other highlights include a removable filter basket, a convenient water-level indicator, a power indicator light, and a smooth exterior that wipes clean with a damp cloth. The coffeemaker measures approximately 11-3/5 by 9 by 13-8/9 inches and carries a two-year limited warranty.

Black & Decker DLX1050W 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker with Glass Carafe, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Yes, I used to have to buy those overpriced, German coffee makers--but not any more. When my latest $100 coffee maker started leaking from both the underside and from the little, unreadable, glass tube on the side, I started looking around for a replacement.
I settled on this Black and Decker model because it does everything the high-priced models do, but at a quarter of the price. After three weeks, the clock still keeps excellent time, the machine still comes on when I'm sound asleep so that I wake up to coffee ready to drink. The coffee tastes very good (c'mon, drip coffee is drip coffee--and I am STILL a coffee snob) and is certainly hot enough. The coffee maker is absolutely EASY to program; each button serves but one function. Aside from the fact that it doesn't LEAK, it seems I lose power here with disturbing regularity, so I like to be able to set the clock and the timer easily and quickly and feel assured that I'll have coffee when I wake up.
What I don't miss about the old coffee maker: leaks, erratic, confusing programming and multiple functions for one button, default ON for auto coffee making (and there's no way to turn it OFF), special little (hard to find) charcoal filter gizmo, adjustable temperature settings on the hot plate, and did I mention LEAKS.
What I miss about the old coffee maker: ability to change length of time the hot plate stays hot, "CALC" calcium warning. Both of which are easy to overcome. If I want two more hours of hot plate all I do is hit the "power" button; if I want to decalcify my machine, all I have to do is run a load of vinegar through on the solstices and equinoxes.
