I got this coffee maker as a Christmas gift and started using it less than 2 weeks ago. I was so excited, because it seemed to brew a whole pot in a decent time frame and it kept the coffee hot while on the burner. I have it programmed to brew every morning, and all was well yesterday morning, but this morning I woke up to only an empty pot!!! I thought it was no big deal and simply pressed the power button on. I waited nearly 10 minutes, but NOTHING!! It makes no sounds, NOTHING! The power indicator light comes on, the display is still accurate, just NO COFFE MAKING! So now I guess another coffee pot to the trash. I won't be buying another Black & Decker brand today.
