Good product, Great coffee
(5 out of 5) by R. L. Miles on Aug 7, 2005 (Chicago)I'm not sure exactly why people are complaining about the machine so much. I've had my machine for 4 months and have had no problem. Before this machine, I had an identical B&D HomeCafe unit that broke when I dropped it on the floor.
I called Black and Decker, they asked me to cut the plug off of the machine and mail it to them. Before I could get it in the mail, I received a brand new HomeCafe unit via FedEx.
Black and Decker is a great American company with an incredible exchange policy that most other manufacturers can't match.
The coffee is great. I don't like Folgers, but the Millstone is great. Also, I have used the Senseo Dark Roast pods in the machine for the longest time and with no problems. However, do NOT use the Melitta pods that are available. They are packed too tightly and are a little too small for the machine. I suspect some people here did that and busted their machine.
There is another product that can be used with the Homecafe called EcoPod (also for sale at Amazon). Ecopods are little refillable pods that can be used with your favorite freshly ground coffee or canned coffee.
I purchased HomeCafes as Christmas gifts and have heard nothing but great things about them from family/friends. They all use them on a daily basis and no one has ever had a problem.
Have a great day!

SHOCKED AND AMAZED!!!
(1 out of 5) by Shari on Jan 2, 2005 (San Antonio, TX)3 NEGATIVES:
1. SPLASHING (ridiculous & unnecessary)
2. NOISE (embarassing & annoying)
3. TASTE (awful & bitter)
A thorough dissappointment. Shame on Black & Decker for putting their name on this coffee maker abomination. A poorly designed machine. Citizens of Earth unite and buy this maker, just so you too can internalize this shameful coffee experience...RUN FOR YOUR LIVES TO YOUR NEAREST STORE! You will be stunned and amazed that someone actually thought this was a good design and ready for production. They must have crack in their coffee at B&D. My eyes surely can't be seeing this? THE ULTIMATE COFFEE DESTRYOYER!!

Love it!!!
(5 out of 5) by Hootie on Jan 6, 2005 (Down south)I love it, i was kind of doubtful about it since i had "heard" and read all the possible fire hazzards with this machine, however my unit works perfectly and I Love It!!! maybe I have one that is not defective, however I feel that people should use good judgement and caution when using any electrical appliance.
