About BLACK+DECKER CM2045B-1, 12-Cup
Overall Feedback:
75% positive
65% appreciated the size and fit
The new coffee maker provides 12 full size cups while the old one claimed to be 10 cups but only gave 8 cups.
I gambled on the coffee maker fitting under my cabinets since my original one fit.
78% liked the quiet operation
The coffee maker is quiet and makes very little noise when making coffee.
65% were satisfied with the control options, but 35% encountered issues
I appreciate the control options of the coffee maker, including the giant opening to the reservoir and the easy-to-read side water gauge, which make filling the machine without spills trouble-free and accurate.
I noticed that the strong button never lit up like it was supposed to and also the auto shutdown didn't work.
The strong button never lit up and the auto shutdown didn't work.
74% found cleaning and maintenance easy
The coffee maker is easy to clean, with only some water mist remaining inside the water tank. The coffee remains don't stain or go outside the filter basket.
64% was satisfied with the temperature maintenance, but 36% experienced inconsistency
I suggest filling the pot with hot water before brewing to compensate for the machine's inability to brew hot coffee. I have experienced that the machine doesn't brew very hot.
The coffee maker is not brewing hot enough from the beginning. I tried to warm the carafe with hot water and even poured hot water in the reservoir to make coffee instead of cold.
66% found the brewing speed satisfactory, but 34% faced issues
After brewing, we start a 120-minute countdown on the coffee maker and pitch it to make a new pot after two hours.
I noticed that the water flow from the filter/basket is not fast enough to make more than 6-8 cups.
Rephrased: The water flow from the filter/basket is limited to 6-8 cups.
67% appreciated the consistent brew quality, but 33% encountered issues
The coffee is no longer flavorful, even though it's hot. This indicates that the coffee-maker did not maintain the brew consistency.
