Black & Decker TCM800 8-Cup Coffee Maker

Pros: It looks really cool in your kitchen, and the stainless steel carafe is nice.
Cons: Makes bad coffee, is difficult to use and it's been recalled as unsafe.

You can't buy this model any longer-- and thank God for that. Both the TCM800 and its sister model (the TCM805) have been recalled by the manufacturer, at the behest of the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission. Yes, you read that right: The ...

Pros: Great pot of coffee and excellent thermal capability in carafe
Cons: Difficult to fill water reservoir with carafe and temperamental about the lid.

When the Gevalia freebie went out, I went in search of a replacement. I've gone through a few Mr. Coffees and 2 Bunns. What I want out of a coffee pot is a good cup of coffee as cheap as I can get it, especially since numerous coffee experts have said ...

Pros: Sleek clean design and thermos that keeps coffee warm.
Cons: Poorly engineered and prone to brewing spills.

Testing someone's motor skills the first thing in the morning is never a good idea. Testing someone's motor skills, who is addicted to that first cup of coffee, and unable to function until that first sip of java, is a terrible idea.This coffee ...

Pros: durable stainless steel carafe built in timer
Cons: small, messy carafe poor lifetime filter

We bought this coffee maker because we had a carafe that kept the coffee hot and fresh for hours. We thought this would skip the whole middle man of pouring the coffee from the pot into the carafe. Also, having a timer and a lifetime filter made this ...

Pros: It looks good.
Cons: Poor, poor usability.

We registered for this coffeemaker for our wedding. We thought it would make an excellent replacement for the Gevalia freebie we'd used and tolerated for years. Plus, to be honest, it just plain looked great. Unfortunately it didn't work nearly as nice ...

Pros: None that I can find. Its stainless steel and it has not broken.
Cons: Doesnt pour. Cant refill the reservoir due to location, and pouring problems. Poor quality.

Basically, I am writing this review as a warning to others considering buying this coffeemaker based on looks/stainless/features or brand loyalty. I believe that is why we originally bought this coffeemaker, but the memory is so tainted by now it is hard ...

Pros: NOTHING Good
Cons: Everything BAD. Will NEVER buy another B&D product.

BAD, BAD, BAD! Recalled and B&D (or it contractor) refuses to replace Thermal with Thermal, but with Glass Carafe. Will never buy another B&D product!
