ALTHOUGH I LIKE THE BRAND OF THE COFFE MAKER I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT THE MACHINE WAS DEFECTIVE WHEN I RECIVED IT . THE TOP LID WAS BROKEN AT THE SEEMS. VERY DISAPPOINTING .HOWEVER I STILL CAN USE IT BUT NOT SATISFIED WITH THE APPLIANCE CONDITION.

I bought this to replace a Gevalia coffee maker that i broke the carafe on. No matter how i ground/measured the coffee in this maker, I could not get the coffee to come out tasting right. The beans and filters i use are top notch and I have had no complaints using them in other people’s coffee makers. My one thought is that the water heater they use may not get the water hot enough to extract the flavor from the coffee. Unless you don’t mind good beans that end up tasting like Folgers, i’d go ahead and pick up something else.

…and this C-maker confirms that. It makes the basic coffee without fuss or spillage and the hotplate doesn’t scorch the coffee for awhile after brewing. BUT, the basic BD c-maker I bought in 2007 had some problems:
1. The illuminated power switch, identical to the one pictured here, broke–it just fell out. Bear in mind that I am a gentle user of my kitchen equipment and I don’t make coffee more than once a week on average, which means that for the daily user, it might not live past the 13th month.
2. Blackened Ecker assembled it with screws that require a special screwdriver not sold at your local hardware store, which says to me, don’t fix it, trash it, buy a new one to replace it. I drilled out the screws, cut off the power switch and spent less than $5 for a beefy new switch and a washer–fixed. BD has rubbed me wrong with its “You can’t fix this” attitude–Fis-It-Yourself users shouldn’t require a drill to open up the thing.
3. Your basic flunky, cheapo coffeemaker really shouldn’t cost more than $20, no matter where you buy it, or what the brand.
4. Well, you just wonder what will break next. If the carafe breaks, I doubt I’ll find one suitable for the model I have. That condemns me to buying a new CM.

I bought this coffeemaker just six months ago. After about two months of use I found it difficult to replace the lid on the carafe. Then I realized that somehow one of the “hooks” that are attached to the hinge had disappeared; seemed to have broken off. I lived with it though it was a nuisance. However, a few days ago I was drying the carafe after washing it in a plastic dishpan. I realized that there was a large piece of glass missing from the side of the carafe, and several cracks radiating away from the hole. I looked into the pan and there was the glass. I’m the only person who handles the coffeemaker, and the carafe has never been bumped or dropped. I’m grateful that I didn’t put my fingers through the hole while drying the carafe, as I would have had a serious injury. I first thought I would replace the carafe, but have decided not to do so. The coffeepot is ok, but nothing special, so will use the old one in the cupboard and research coffeemakers once again. I’ve seen at least one person’s review stating they had the same problem with the hinge.
