BLACK+DECKER 12-Cup Thermal Coffee Maker, Keep Coffee Hot with Insulated Stainless Steel Carafe, Digital Controls, Easy to Clean.

Excellent coffee maker. Basket handle a little sketchy but otherwise great coffee. I use Cafe Bustello at half the amount I used in my old maker. I brew on strongest level and coffee is better than old maker brewed. Saving me money on coffee and getting better tasting Joe!!!

Ease of use. Like that you can sneak a cup. Similar to a Melita we had before except the Melita had a hot plate which eventually disintegrated and then just caused a mess because it kept caking off. Appreciate that this one doesn't bother with a hot plate as the it never did much to a thermos anyway. We've had it 2 weeks and make a pot every day and have had no problems with it. I was looking for a design one that wasn't too wide to fit in a small space. With the controls above the top of the pot instead of beside it, it makes it smaller in width. The height is more than low enough to fit under the upper cabinets. The pot is wide-mouthed making it easy cleaning. It keeps the coffee hot for several hours and was even warm after 12 hours. We are extremely pleased with it and the price. Only caution -- make sure to LATCH the lid on top of the unit so the coffee flows through the filter properly.
