Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Black & Decker TCM830 10-Cup Thermal Stainless-Steel Coffeemaker
Customer Review: Failed after a few months
Summary: 1 Stars
We purchased this coffee maker after reading various comments -- it sounded like a good coffee maker. At first it worked fine, but now after only 6 months, it no longer functions. We generally make about 6 cups at a time. For the past month or so, it would only run through about half the water. If we restarted it, then it ran rest of the water. Now it doesn't work at all and we have to go through the hassle of seeing if it repairable. Very annoying. Other coffee makers have lasted us about 10 years or so on average. This is really disappointing!Customer Review: Search no further!

If you are searching for a coffee maker that has a removable reservoir/water tank and a thermal pot, search no further. The Black & Decker TCM830 is all that and more. The coffee is hot, even hours after it is brewed. Our Starbucks Barista Aroma 8-cup was recalled due to electrical problems, and I didn't think I'd be able to replace it. But this one has and even brews a better (hotter) cup of coffee. Only con: it took reading the instructions a few times to figure out how to set the timed auto brew (hit the button twice). Nice job Black & Decker!Customer Review: Could be better

I've had B&D coffeemakers in the past. They were OK Maybe not perfect but just OK. This one however I think is cheaply made and so light weight you have to be careful not to pull the whole thing off the counter top. I would suggest a few dollars more and get something like a CuisinartCuisinart DCC-1150BK 10-Cup Programmable Thermal Coffeemaker, Black you even get a gold filter and a water filter.

As noted elsewhere,the lid of this coffeemaker is impossible to clean...no matter how often you rinse and shake it out there is always trapped water. Also the pot dribbles condensation out of the small holes around the top while it sits on the counter. I have to keep a paper towel under it. The coffee pours slowly..the trade-off is that the pot keeps coffee hot for hours. I can't get the unit to brew strong enough coffee without using a lot more coffee than seems reasonable. On the plus side this unit is attractive and appears to be well built.Customer Review: Works Good, No Problems, A Bit Bulky...
Summary: 4 Stars
This coffee maker was a replacement for a "hot plate" model of a diffrent brand. I have been using it for one month now & have no major complaints. I make about 6 cups a day. 4 to bring to work in a thermos and 2 to drink in the morning. It makes an ok cup of coffee. I have used both pre-ground and non pre-ground coffee beans that I grind my self in a Black & Decker coffee grinder. The unit is a big bulky and comes close to hitting the bottom of my cabinets, but the stanless-steel look works well with the other kitchen gadgets on the counter.
