About - Proctor-Silex 48350

The Proctor-Silex 48350 is part of the coffeemaker test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, drip coffeemaker models like the 48350 are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below.


Brew performance:
Brew performance is the ability to reach 195°F or more for six minutes.

Convenience:
Convenience reflects ease of filling the reservoir, placing the filter, gauging the amount of coffee remaining, cleanup, and clarity of controls.

Carafe handling:
Carafe handling covers handle comfort, tendency to drip when pouring, balance of a full carafe, and how easy it was to empty the last liquid. Models with no score here brew into single-serve containers, or are dispenser-style. Dispenser models hold the brew in a tank; you fill your cup by pressing it against the dispenser lever.

Cons

Spring breaks easily
Best Uses
Comment:
Even without it broken, it has simply average performance, but a good price. However, after less than a year, the spring that determines whether the water will drip through to the pot, or not, broke. The broken spring results in a water backup in the filter which then overflows over everything, including large amounts of coffee grounds being in your coffee and everywhere. In order for this coffee maker to work without spilling, I have to rubberband the pot to machine. This coffee maker was given to me as a gift. I still use it daily but I am soon to retire it with a new, better coffee maker.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
