I got my coffee maker a few day's ago, and let me tell you for a busy mother of 3 and working full time my coffee is a must! So when I found out that I could program my coffee to have it ready for me in the morning was a life saver! Not to mention it's so easy to work and and clean up is quick and easy! I'm so happy with my black and decker 12 cup programmable coffee maker! Oh and the 12 cups makes it enough for everyone.
