BLACK+DECKER 12-Cup* Programmable Coffeemaker, Black, CM1070B-3

I've been through a lot of coffee makers, from the most expensive to the cheapest. I can honestly say that this Black and Decker model is by far the best. It's not expensive, yet the coffee is very hot, the delay brew feature works perfectly, and the coffee is ready when I get up.I've seen the comments that the "CL" can't be removed after cleaning it. The instructions are very clear in the instruction booklet. I've cleaned ours many times, and after following instructions, the "CL" is gone. It clearly states after combining 6 cups WHITE VINEGAR and 4 cups cold water is poured into reservoir to PRESS AND HOLD the ON/OFF BUTTON for 4 SECONDS, ON/OFF button LED illuminates (no blinking), "CLEAN" scrolls through the display continuously and the AUTO CLEAN cycle begins. Part of the solution brew through and holds the rest for 30 minutes, then will begin brewing the rest. Whole process takes about 45-60. When it's finished with "AUTO CLEAN" cycle, it shuts off automatically. Immediately Brew a pot of fresh water through it again to clear out any residue from vinegar. Now it's ready to brew coffee again.It's just a matter of following the included instructions.

Just used this for the 1st time and love it. Its way faster at brewing than my last coffeemaker which was made by another company and hoping its lasts longer too. And the coffee tasted great. Very happy with my purchase.

Perfect simple coffee pot. Easy to use and timely brew. Not the highest quality but gets the job done and reasonable cost.

Excellent quality, very well packaged 📦 and arrived complete. Perks great coffee and brew memory.

My old coffee maker died after about 30 years. I researched Mr Coffee and the reviews said quality had gone downhill. So I looked at this Black and Decker unit instead.I have used this at least 50 times since I bought it so I would say that I am pretty familiar with it. Here’s my review:- it’s fine- it brews coffee quickly- it has an automatic timer and turns off if you forget and leave it on the burner- it is kind of loud, but that’s OK- when you first start using it, the basket is a bit quirky, and a couple of times I did it wrong where the coffee didn’t drain properly and I got grounds in the drink. But after a while you learn to just double check it after you put the filter paper and coffee in and you can kind of feel a “click” when you align it properly and shut the top. But it is possible to put the basket in the wrong way I know it because I did it a couple times- it has the “sneak a cup” function, meaning you can get a cup while it is still brewing. That’s cool, I use it a lot. However, a minor problem is that one drop always spills when you do it (not a lot, just one drop) because when you take the carafe off from under the basket and the connection is lost it just always drops one drop that sizzles on the burner. Not a giant deal, just a minor thing that bugs me every day a little bitSo it is definitely worth the money, and works fine. Coffee tastes good, it is fast, and it has automatic shut off. Works great for me. And it is very cheap for what it does. If it dies in a couple years (which I expect), I will just go on the forums again and find another one that is best rated at the time (and cheap) or just re buy this one.

I love my Black and Decker coffee maker. It is easy to setup and program. You can even set it to make your coffee stronger, which is my favorite part of this machine. It has the delay drip so that you can sneak a cup before it is finished brewing as well. It's also very easy to disassemble for cleaning. I would definitely recommend this one.

I purchased this to replace a version of this coffee maker that was either 20 or 25 years old. I've owned two of the older model and don't know which one I was still using. I wore the plastic cover off the 'Brew' button on it years ago...You couldn't pour coffee out of the old pot (carafe?) without it siphoning up the side of the pot and splattering coffee around the target when it was full. My daughter who has small hands had trouble handling the pot when it was full.Wow! It's amazing when new and improved really is. The pot included with this model looks almost the same but isn't. The handle has been redesigned and my daughter has no problem with it when the pot is full. That surprised me because the handle is actually bigger. The pot itself has been redesigned and coffee can be poured fast without siphoning up the outside of the pot even when it's full. No more coffee splattered around the cup.I like strong black coffee so the 'Strong' option is really nice and produces great coffee. The 'Clean' indicator is a nice feature which reminds me to clean the pot after every 60 brews. It cleans the pot plumbing but misses the outside of the vortex spout (sprinkler?). I now scrub the spout with a brush dipped in vinegar before starting the self cleaning process.I love this coffee maker. I really love the 'Strong' option and not having to be really careful when pouring out of a full pot. Kudos to B&D for the great product improvements.

This coffee maker makes me crazy. It overflows grounds into my coffee almost daily. It seems like it is finished brewing, I take the pot out and then it spews a ton more coffee out, which it isn't supposed to do whether it is finished or not.I have adjusted my coffee grinder to the least fine and it has not helped.Note: I do use a reusable filter, but the documentation does not say that is a bad thing. Would not have purchased if that were the case.
