I absolutely love my black and Decker 12 cup programmable coffee maker. It is so easy to program so my coffee is ready when my husband and I get up in the morning. I dont even have to wait for it to finish brewing before I get a cup because it has the sneak a cup feature. And I love the safety feature of the auto shutoff after 2 hours. So if I forget to turn the coffee maker off it does it for me! It has a big opening to pour in the water and for the coffee filter. Makes it so easy to make coffee.
