Very pleased. I like Black & Decker brands and found this coffee maker to up to The standard.
The spout on my carafe didn't leak, but the carafe, itself, was rather fragile. Ok, I know that this is meant to be a no-frills, simple coffee maker, but the quality of the coffee that it produces is just unacceptable. I'm returning mine tomorrow. Terrible buy. Like another reviewer wrote, it doesn't heat the water hot enough to make flavorful coffee. So unless you like warm, weak coffee, stay away from this machine.

The second machine worked for maybe a month or two, and then it too began leaking. It was inexpensive, and I thought perhaps I'd simply gotten a dud. I solved that problem by using the 4-cup carafe from my old Mr. I now keep a small tray under the coffee maker, to collect the dirty water so that it won't continue to make a mess of my counter. But then the coffee-maker started leaking dirty water all over my kitchen counter every time I made a pot of coffee. This B&D DCM500 coffee maker is inexpensive and reasonably attractive but next to useless.
I asked another family member to try, thinking I might be doing something wrong, but she did no better. No such luck. There are two problems, the first of which is a carafe with a very badly designed pouring spout. I tried the fast and easy solution, and bought another B&D DCM500. In the meantime, I'm looking for a quality replacement. People have been making pitchers of various kinds for many thousands of years, so I fail to understand why this carafe drips coffee all over the place when you try to pour from it, no matter how careful you are.
Coffee.
It's a little smaller than I realized, but works well and fits in the corner of the counter perfectly.
