The Black and Decker 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker makes a great cup of coffee. I am really impressed with this machine. Not only does it look good on my counter but it makes really good coffee. It is a 12 cup programable coffee maker which that is very nice. I like to program my coffee maker as I get up very early and go to work, so I like to have my coffee freshly brewed a few minutes before I get up. You can use the basket or even put your own coffee filter inside if you prefer. The basket makes it so much easier to clean. To program the coffee maker is very easy and simple to do, and set the clock. The coffee pot is made very nice and durable. The look of it is nice also. Would recommend the black and Decker 12 cup coffee maker.
