Bought a Black and Decker coffee maker two months ago--$17. Ours usually last for years and years...even cheap ones. It started not draining. The filter basket is half full of water when I go to empty it. I've tried everything to figure out the problem--but nothing helped.
Bought a new one yesterday--Mr. Coffee. I told hubby I was worried because it had the same set up as the last one. Made coffee this morning and sure enough--the filter basket is half full of water. :|
Is this how they work now???

I don't know, but hie thee to a Starbucks, fast!!
Then, once you have caffeine in your system, check for an 800 number or website???
That is tantamount to having a sewing machine breakdown.... :thumbdown:

I use a percolator too. I had a Farberware one for more than 20 years, and when it went, I bought another. Even those are not made as well as they used to be. I have an antique one that I keep for backup (the plug is way old) and it never fails, but I find myself replacing the percolator every 2-3 years. DAmnit.

No that is not how they are suppose to work... is it a cone basket and does it have where you can pour a cup while it still makes coffee ?
Mine has done that a few times and the basket is not seated correctly.. it will start and then the basket area fills with water but not the pot :roll: It may appear to be in correct , but it is not. Play with the basket :thumbup: Trust me been there, done that :wink:
