I purchased my CM1650B Coffeemaker at a local big box store. It uses a cone type filter and holds a full 12 cups of water. It does a good job of preventing escaping steam while brewing, it does vent a little steam at the end of the cycle. The steam is mentioned for those who use this under wood finished cabinets, excessive steam can damage the finish on some wood cabinets. This is one of the better brewers I have used in that respect.I like the carafe. You can pour a little or a lot at a time and not worry about dribbling coffee all over the place. It took about 12.5 minutes to brew a full 12 cups. This unit has a built in hot plate to keep the coffee at serving temperature. It will automatically shut off after 2 hours but can be programmed for 1, 2, 3, or 4 hours of time. To fill the water reservoir, you lift the top lid and pour the water in at the back. This seems a little awkward at first but I did not spill any water. There is a water level gauge on the front which is handy. At the end of the brew cycle, the coffee temperature was 186 degrees F and after 30 minutes, it was 180 degrees. At one hour the temperature was 182 degrees. I mention that because some reviews, at other sites, complained of coffee that was not hot enough. 180F is HOT.It has a removable charcoal type water filter. I use reverse osmosis water mixed with a little tap water, for flavor, and find a filter unnecessary. It is a nice added feature though. There is also a setting for making 'strong' coffee. I am not sure what that does other than maybe slow down the brew time a little. I use the default 'regular' setting and just adjust the amount of coffee to regulate strength. The end of cycle signal is a nice tone loud enough to get your attention.I grind my own coffee beans and have found that about 1.6 ounces (weight) of fine ground beans will make a darned good pot of brewed coffee in this thing (with a paper filter). The cone type filters (this unit) tend to be a little more efficient than the basket type. As far as which type is 'best' I cannot say. I have gotten excellent coffee from both, you just need to adjust the amount and grind of coffee a little.I did measure the amount of liquid this holds, it is about 72 ounces.I would say this is a good valued coffee maker. It has some nice features and makes coffee just as tasty as my old $100 coffee maker. :)

I go through coffeemakers quite often. I had given up on them because they all quit working after a few months. My last "coffeemaker" was actually an electric percolator. Good coffee, but too NOISY (woke the neighborhood) and took too much time. Then THAT one broke.I chose this one mainly because it has blue lights. Blue clock, blue brewing light - my favorite. But this maker is no blue light special. Sleek in design, a little tall for those who love neat, sweet & petite, but a great machine, nonetheless.The top is "hinged" so it stays up while filling (a good feature when you're still half asleep). The water is filled from the back (either side - a plus for me). Easy-to-see fill bar, nice charcoal filter, sturdy pot, good fit for the pot, easy to operate. It has a pause-n-pour feature (or whatever it's called), allows you to brew 2-4 cups, (as if!), and has a "strong" button if you need an extra kick in the a.m. It's also vewwy, vewwy quiet. There's a little noise at the end (typical), and the beep to signal that your coffee is ready is just loud enough.Puts out great tasting, hot coffee. I hope it lasts - forever.My ONLY complaint is that on the end of the electrical plug, there's a plastic thingie thats on very tight, and you need to poke yourself while trying to use a steak knife to cut the lil booger off. OH - I think the cord is about 2' in length (? maybe 18") but longer than others. And if you don't want all that cord on your counter, you can push it in to the bottom of the maker.I know this is considered a home appliance, but it's Black & Decker, and I would classify it as a power tool. Definitely a great coffeemaker!

I have used the coffee maker for 2 days, so I can't address longevity or durability.Easy to setup and program. The auto shut-off setting needs to be changed before you brew the coffee, as it doesn't allow changes during the brew cycle. This is the case with the 2-4 cup setting and the brew strength, also.We could fit the coffee maker on the counter under the cabinets in our kitchen, but there wasn't enough space to then open the lid. The lid needs to open to about 22.5 inches to access the filter and pour in the water. There was just enough room for us to move the maker to the edge of the counter and have room to open the lid before hitting the cabinets. The rubber feet on the bottom would make it difficult to slide the machine back once it is filled. Had to buy an extension cord, as the cord that comes with it is maybe 2 feet. The manual doesn't state the wattage or amperage of the unit, but does warn not to use an extension cord that can't handle the rating of the unit.Easy to pour - don't need to lift the lid to prevent spillage.Seating the carafe in the proper position may be a challenge. I had to fiddle with it when I ran the first pot of water through it for the initial cleaning. The first real pot of coffee poured through with no problem, but the next pot started to back up and I had to adjust the carafe to get get it to drip properly. I'll need to keep an eye on this or try to make an adjustment.Coffee is good and hot. Not as hot as some coffee shops - say Duncan Dounuts, but hot enough for me. I used the 2-4 cup setting, but haven't played with the strong brew setting to know if it makes a difference. I used the reusable filter supplied with the coffee maker and it did fine.
