Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Black & Decker DCM2500-PT 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker
Customer Review: Carafe leak!
Summary: 4 Stars
Black & Decker used to be a USA company that made good power tools. Sometime in the '80s (I think) they where bought by Fox Int./? and they started marketing home appliances with the Black & Decker name and made in China.
Seems to make good coffee and faster than other coffeemakers that I have owned. The hot plate under the carafe keeps the coffee good and hot.
In an effort to make the price as low as possible they figured a way to make the Carafe cheaper. Instead of forming the pouring lip on the Carafe out of glass (as all other Carafes that I have ever seen) they made the Carafe out of 2 pieces. One part is the glass bowl and the other is the black plastic handle and the top lip of the Carafe with the pouring lip. Somehow they try to seal the two parts together to make a the Carafe assembly. Well here is where things go wrong. Glass and plastic have a different expansion rate and so they have a hard time getting the two to seal, and that is why, I think, the Carafe leaks.
I called B & D /Fox /? and told them that the Carafe leaked and was told that the Carafe was on "back order" and I would get the replacement in about 4 weeks, and I did. This tells me that many other people are having the same (leaking) problem. They wouldn't confirm that. So far no leaks with the replacement Carafe.
My only other comment about the Coffeemaker is the red LED display for the clock is very very bright. It's so bright that you can use it for a night light!!
Would I buy it again, yes.
