Title: Toxic danger
Review: I purchased a Black & Decker DCM2500B SmartBrew Coffee maker from Amazon in September, to replace a MrCoffee that we used daily for many years. When it arrived, it was thoroughly washed and run through its brewing cycle with baking soda and clear water in the hope that the acrid plastic odor it gave off would be purged from it. It filled the house with the smell of plastic and the water that passed through it was not even potable due to the fumes.I put the unit on our outdoor steps and let it recycle water for several hours, and let the unit sit for several weeks to air out. Then I made a pot of coffee which tasted like industrial waste. I am convinced that this is an unhealthy exposure to VOCs, and should not be used. I have thrown the coffee maker away and am now using an all-glass solution to coffee making. I will never buy another product from Black&Decker;.
