This coffee maker is great for someone who just needs a cup or two in the morning. The Black & Decker machine doesn’t take up much space on the counter, and I think it’s pretty cute. Black is my favorite. The carafe holds “five cups”, which means it perfectly fills two mugs. . I do wish there was a drip stop so I could pull my cup of coffee midway. It takes about nine minutes for the entire carafe to fill. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
