The black & decker 12-cup programmable coffee maker has always been a good brand ive purchased before this one has digital controls with quick touch programming so I’m able to program for my early morning coffee by setting the clock for on the go when I don’t have time,it has a 2 hour shut off so it keeps my coffee warm still ,it also come with a washable basket so you can take it out after every use and wash it,also it has a seek a cup which I can grab before the brewing ends ,the black & decker 12-cup programmable coffee machine also comes with easy to read directions and an2 year warranty.love this coffee machine
