Pros: Digital timer; Non-stick hot plate; Sneak-a-Cup feature
Cons: Quirky configuration of the swing-out filter basket and carafe lid.
Summary: Black and Decker™ makes mighty fine hand tools. The same concern created a toaster oven my mother swears by and a simple iron yours truly abused by neglect for more than a decade. The tiny Handy/Chopper™ resting upon my countertop gets plenty of use ... read more

Pros: Cheap. Drip-stop, timer, alarm.
Cons: Easy to spill, hard to refill.
Summary: It is hard to find a $20 coffee maker based on the old Mr. Coffee design these days. This was the best I could find, but I'm somewhat disappointed. Features: drip-stop - pot can be removed while brewing. Auto-off - pot heater turns off after 2 ... read more

Pros: Automatic timer, automatic shutoff, and sneak-a-cup feature.
Cons: Difficult to pour water from pot to reservoir, and difficult to clean.
Summary: Recently, our old coffee pot at work finally brewed its last pot of coffee, so we went in search of a replacement. Our choice was the Black & Decker 12-Cup VersaBrew Plus. At first glance, this coffee maker appeared to have all the bells and whistles ... read more

Pros: Auto shut-off, automatic timer, sneak-a-cup, reasonably priced.
Cons: Carafe can't pour without spilling. Basket removal is difficult. Coffee not hot enough for me.
Summary: When our old faithful coffee maker died, I scurried right out to Wal-Mart to buy another so that there would be no disruption in our morning coffee ritual. I should have scurried right to my computer and looked up coffee makers on epinions. Instead, I ... read more

Pros: zip, zero, zilch, nada!
Cons: carafe drips horribly, difficult to clean, hard to fill, died young (thankfully!)
Summary: Christmas Eve Morning, 4:15 a.m. I'd programmed the coffeemaker to start brewing at 4:10, anticipating a fresh cup of coffee when we stumbled into the kitchen. The light was on, but the tank was still full of water, the grounds waiting patiently for ... read more

Pros: Nice looking design.
Cons: Leaks, drips and otherwise makes as much of a mess as a puppy.
Summary: I was the happy owner of a Braun coffee pot for 7 years, when I decided that I wanted a new one. First I must say that the Braun I owned for 7 years never gave me one ounce of trouble, only cup after cup of wonderful coffee. After going through nearly ... read more

Pros: Inexpensive, Keeps Coffee Hot
Cons: You have to remove the carafe to swing the filter basket in and out
Summary: I recently bought a Black and Decker Versabrew Coffeemaker because it was on sale for 18.99 from 29.99. I wanted a decent coffeemaker and figured since the regular price was higher than the cheapee $20 makers, it would be a good buy.
It makes ... read more

Pros: auto-shut off, sneak-a-cup feature
Cons: basket design, parts replacement procedures
Summary: I liked the coffeemaker, even getting used to the basket design. The stop button and spring fell off, got thrown away accidentally. Tried to explain to the B&D parts people, told me I needed whole basket (cost of 10.47 on my credit card). Sent me 2, ... read more

Pros: The timer works.
Cons: Everything else.
Summary: Whoever designed this coffee maker has never made a pot of coffee. All the good options are there but so poorly executed that this coffee maker is a daily annoyance.
The reservoir fills in the back like many others but the lid on it is tall and ... read more

Pros: good design, price competitive
Cons: really can't think of anything
Summary: We recently purchased the Black & Decker Versa Brew Plus Coffee Maker. We’ve had it for about a month now. It's a very good coffee maker. I like the water level on the side and the coffee strength adjuster. We had a Philips coffee maker, which was ... read more

Pros: Inexpensive, nice features, easy to clean
Cons: Carafe does spill some, but nothing major.
Summary: Once again we found ourselves needing a new coffee maker and we came across the Black & Decker 12-Cup VersaBrew Plus Programmable Coffeemaker DCM1250. We weren't looking for anything fancy, just one that would brew a good pot of coffee and last a ... read more

Pros: none . . oh I guess it makes coffee.
Cons: glass carafe design turns pouring into a mopping chore.
Summary: Let me begin by stating I owned a Mr. Coffee for over 8 years that worked perfectly. So maybe I was just spoiled. I guess I figured "how hard can it be", but I know I'll never go with Black & Decker again.
The glass carafe is so poorly ... read more

Pros: Not very costly, works great!
Cons: None for the price you pay.
Summary: My mom purchased this coffee pot for me. Ever since I have been loving making coffee! I can turn the timer on at night so that I can wake up to the great smell and taste of coffee! Also, I am one of the most forgetful people on the world, so I would ... read more

Pros: Cheap, works well, lasts a long time.
Cons: For the 30 bucks I paid...none.
Summary: I picked one of these up for the Missus as I would come home for lunch and would smell the coffee burning that she left on while running out the door for work. I figured I need a pot with auto start and auto stop to keep the place from burning down. ... read more

Pros: Good, fast coffee even after 5 years of use.
Cons: Carafe is a little small if you have coffee loving friends over.
Summary: This is my first review so go easy on me, ok guys? :)
I'll get right to the point here because I'm not much of a storyteller. We bought this coffee maker 5 years ago and, at the time, it was the best one we'd ever bought. I used, I think, ... read more

Pros: Timer Function
Cons: ALWAYS spills, Basket is difficult to get out, "Sneak-A-Cup" feature coffee is like syrup.
Summary: The carafe with this maker is TERRIBLE!! It has a "wide-lip" that ALWAYS spills when you pour the water into the pot to make coffee and when you pour your first 5-6 cups of coffee. The only time it doesn't spill is if the pot is less than half full. ... read more

Cons: Difficult basket removal, poor design.

Pros: Inexpensive. Timer for auto brewing. Auto-shutoff to pour while brewing. Looks good.
Cons: Poorly designed carafe and lid. Poorly designed basket.
Summary: When I buy coffee makers, I look for a timer so the coffee will be brewed when I stumble into the kitchen, and an auto-shutoff so I can pour when it's still brewing. Things like the carafe design and basket holder should be a given.
But the ... read more
