First let me say how much I love the way this coffee maker looks. I love the stainless steel look  in my modern kitchen. The size is not too big and not too small. My husband loves his Bun, but it's so bulky and ugly so when I discovered this one I was more than happy to replace that giant coffee maker. 
I have to say, the coffee tastes great and the carafe is impressive. I love that you must push a button to pour the coffee, leaving very little chance you are going to spill that super hot coffee. The Black & Decker 12-Cup* Thermal Programmable Coffeemaker delivers and truly keeps your coffee warm for hours. I'm so very impressed with this machine.
