Black & Decker DE790B 8-Cup Thermal Carafe Coffeemaker, Black with stainless carafe Customer Review
By Debra (Newnan, GA) ...
I got it on my desk at work. I like the fact that I can program, so coffee is ready when I arrive in the morning. The carafe keeps coffee hot for several hours. The only thing I dislike is that there are signs of water level inside the jug to fill the sink of conjecture. I am sure I will understand. I really like the fact that not having a heating element, so if for some reason did not go to work, coffee is not sitting there burning pot.

I think this is a great buy. I live alone. For me, the cars too small 4 cup and 12 cup was too big. Although I do not want a car with a hot dish, then burn the coffee and make it taste bitter. I was satisfied with $ 10 B & D machine single cup, which I kept at my desk at work. This was the cheapest machine I could find decanter ($ 29.99 at Target).
I am a little 'coffee geeks. I home roast my own coffee beans. Grind my beans just before you brew coffee. I have checked with a thermometer, but this beer in a near ideal temperature. I use about 7-8 grams per cup and find it a good strong cup of coffee. This cycle of beer is on the slow side, but for me it is good. The beer is slower for better extraction. I use a mesh basket and have not had a major problem with overcrowding in the coffee grinder. It was a big problem with the other cars I have owned. But under water at a decent speed, seems OK with this machine.
Carafe is not a job just to keep your coffee hot. After 4-5 hours and three cups, coffee is still a good hot drink temperature. The outside of the carafe stays cool to the touch. Yes, a hot plate machine would keep him warm, but after an hour or two, were burnt coffee.
I offer a proposal for a hot cup of coffee. Or rinse or jug or let stand for several minutes with hot water in the upper right tap water before beer. This preheat the carafe a bit "and make a difference a few degrees in your coffee.
I know there are a lot of negative reviews on this trying to solve some of the points.
Machine Flooded my counter:
It is not the machines fault. You have not had a jug into the car properly. This can be a problem with any machine, where you stop dispensing a cup to serve. Cuisinart machines are even worse than that. But if you can be sure the jar is properly inserted, will not be a problem. Also, if you fill above level 8 Cup, the pitcher will overflow.
Hot Plate has not worked:
Thermal carafe machines generally do not have stoves. Plus plates are generally self off now. So after a few hours, in addition to your coffee tastes burnt, and cool quickly. The machine keeps your coffee for 4-6 hours without tasting burnt.
Coffee bitter or metallic
Be sure to wash after use. Try cleaning with detergent and water to stop occasionally with white vinegar and water.
Hours are difficult to use:
Read the manual. It is not rocket science. It's like a digital alarm clock programming.
Yes, it can be bad machines that do not ferment at the proper temperature. But most of the negative reviews for this product is a result of user error and not due to a design error.
For the money, it's a big purchase of a machine thermal carafe drip. There are no significant errors. It looks good on the counter, and keeps the coffee warm for several hours. For $ 30 - $ 40 I think this machine is theft!
