Black and Decker - 12 Cup Coffee Maker

I own a Black and Decker 12 cup coffee maker. This model has been making 2 - 4 pots of coffee a day for approximately 6 months with no problems.

It was purchased at Walmart for under $20, and is a great value. It is capable of programing a time for your coffee to start, but I never use this feature. It also cuts off after 2 hours, which I love since I can sometimes can be a bit forgetful.

I only have two small complaints with it. The model I purchased is white and shows dust, spills, etc. I believe it is offered in black as well, and I wish I had purchased a black model.

The other complaint is inclusive of all coffee makers I have looked at in this price range. Water is added from the top, making it necessary to pull the unit from under the cabinet to fill the water resevoir.

This model was very similar to the last one I owned, which did fine, but gave out after much use.
