Black and Decker-12-Cup* Programmable Coffeemaker that can be set to your time of when you want coffee! It uses coffee filters just like any other standard coffee pot. I used bottle water in mine to prevent some of the hard water sludge from building up. It keeps your coffee hot for about one hour after that it cuts off. Overall, it's a very nice coffee pot that seems to be built to last. Use white vinegar to clean as needed.
