I LOVE my Black and Decker 12-Cup Thermal Programmable Coffeemaker! This coffeemaker is easy to use. I love that it is programmable so that I can set a specific time to brew a fresh pot in the morning before going to work. I also love that I can pull the pot out during the brewing cycle to pour myself a cup! The brewing will pause while I pour myself a fresh cup of coffee and then resume once I put the pot back in place. Another one of my favorite features is the thermal pot itself! This pot keeps my coffee hot for HOURS! Not to mention that this coffeemaker also has an option to make a "strong" brew for those days when I need an extra boost. My favorite coffeemaker yet! I highly recommend to all coffee lovers!
