We bought a new house back in June and wanted a new coffee maker to go with it. We have used B&D products before and really like them. The coffee maker was a perfect fit in my kitchen and so easy to program for next morning brewing. 
   This morning, after less than 6 months, we woke up to a cold pot and no coffee made. The on switch was lit so we knew it wasn't a programming problem. We were really disappointed that a coffee maker that was less than 6 months old just stopped working. 
   Not worth the name of Black and Decker.
