I got my black and decker coffee pot as a gift. I love it . It so easy to use and I can set it so my coffee is ready for me when I get up in the morning and I don't have to worry about it either being to strong or to weak and the best part is no more fumbling with coffee filters cause let's just be honest here nobody is at their best in the morning. I also love that it has a washable filter basket I love that. I also love that it turns itself off after 2 hours so I don't have to come home and scrub it anymore cause I forgot to turn the coffee pot off before I left for the day. I honestly believe everyone needs a coffee pot like this it's a life saver.
