Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Black & Decker CMD3400MB 12-Cup Programmable CoffeemakerCustomer Review: Better than my old Cuisinart! Summary: 5 Stars
Don't let the low price scare you off -- this is a quality coffeemaker.
I just moved into a new place with stainless appliances, and decided to replace my white Cuisinart DCC1200 12-cup Brew Central (worked sort of OK, made decent coffee, but had some issues -- see other reviews for details).
After checking reviews, it looked like NONE of the 12-cup coffeemakers were rated all that high. I decided to opt for low price, thinking that if it didn't work out, I wasn't out all the much.
At nearly half the cost of the Cuisinart, this Black & Decker performs beautifully, besting the higher-priced maker in nearly every aspect: ease of use, quality of brewed coffee, ease of programming, ease of cleaning, and features.
As an example: I like my coffee a little on the strong side. With my former maker, I had to use more coffee to get the flavor I wanted. With this unit, I simply click on the "brew strength" button to select "strong," and I get exactly the right strength with less coffee.
Programming is very straight-foward, too. And I like the blue background lights for the display as well as the water level.
Easy to use, attractive to look at, and it makes great coffee, all for a very reasonable price: what more could you want?
