I recieved the Black and Decker 12-cup Thermal Programmable Coffeemaker and was really excited to try it. My husband and I usually drink two pots of coffee every day. We have had several coffeemakers. This one works well.  It is easy to use. The coffeemaker is easy to fill (I have had some that the opening to put water in was too small) and it is easy to program the time for coffee to be made. I am a little disappointed with how strong the coffee is. My husband and I like strong coffee, and I had to use twice as much coffee grounds as my old coffeemaker for it to be strong enough (even with the strong setting). I love the thermal pot. It keeps the coffee hot and easy to pour without spilling. Overall, I really like this coffeemaker and would definitely recommend it.
