Question: Does this have a permanent basket as a coffee filter?  My last B&D had one and I am trying to find the same thing.  Thank you
Document: I went to Walmart and picked this one up when my last broke a few months ago, Let me tell you my last coffee maker was a 14 cup unit with a mesh filter and would make a pot in minutes.. it was awesome but only lasted a year.. i felt stiffed so decided to cheap out a bit and buy this unit.. and it works ok.
Remember to not over fill your coffee grounds in the filter and all is right with the world. Oh, and as for the plastic smell... rinse everything out really well before using. I washed my filter basket and carafe before using.
A couple of times, the coffee stopped dripping while the carafe was in place -- but when I removed the carafe, THEN all of a sudden it started flowing freely again (onto the heating element). Finally: following use, if you just rinse and replace the basket, residual water drops will NOT evaporate from the basket or the interior of the machine. Not even overnight. You have to leave the basket out and prop up the cover if you want to avoid cootie-sustaining moisture.
I love my coffee and should not have cheaped out the way i did on this unit. Its not going to stay on the counter long as i plan to put a better replacement to work soon. I would rate this 4 stars had it came with a mesh filter..
I like it a lot. The thing I don't like is it is hard to see the numbers and am pm.
I bought this as a inexpensive replacement for my last coffee maker. In short, it brews a pretty good batch of coffee. My main complaints are it takes too long for it to brew a pot of coffee. Obviously this isn't a big deal if you set it the night before but if you forgot to, your going to be waiting at least 20+ minutes for a full pot to finish.
(This is awesome for us, we have a house full of kids and it is great to know when the coffee is read in the morning)The programmable timer.The design.The 4 cup option (tried it once, it worked well!)CONS::Really.. the only thing I don't like is the display. We are fortunate to have the "right" lighting in our kitchen.
Tiny letters on a dim background. These items seem so easy to do better. Last issue seems to be common to a lot of carafes, but not all. Drips like crazy if you pour too fast.Other than these somewhat minor issues, the price is good for the features that it has and the coffee is good.
UPDATE: This coffeemaker was wonderful until one day in November it refused to turn on. There was not a power surge or anything. There was no warning, just it wouldn't turn on. I was very disappointed. Usage of this maker was a pot a coffee nearly everyday from the time we got it until it died.Old Review: We bought this coffee maker to replace our old worn out one.
This coffee maker is not easy to program - I needed a flashlight to read the PM for time display.Also, the auto clean cycle is not exactly automatic. You can clean almost any coffee maker by putting water and vinegar through the machine's cycle.This said, the machine seems to function all right, and the coffee is fine. Only had it for one day, so we'll see how it holds up.
Answer: It has a removable basket. However, I use a basket with a coffee filter. I feel the metal basket holds the paper filter easier. I hope this helps you.
