If you a coffee "or" tea drinker this is for you.
I am a "coffeeholic"and feel I am expert on coffee makers. I have, in the past 12 years, used nothing but Black and Decker coffee makers. They are more durable, easy to use, and most of all, dependable makers of any coffee maker I have had. The worst thing that can happen is to wake up in the morning and you coffee is not made because your coffee pot has quit on you. Or has made a mess all over your cabinet because the water resovour has leaked all the water on the counter top. The dependablility and safety can not be beat. I love the automatic shut off, as well as the fact you can set your maker to have the coffee made when you wake in the morning as well as keeping the temperature of you coffee at just the right tempature. The versability to make just the right amount for you is a BIG PLUS. Also, your Black and Decker coffee maker is also a perfect tea maker for you as well. All you have to do is place your tea bag/s in the coffee holder and add the water anount needed and bam, you have your cup/s of hot tea, that taste just as good as if yoy had made with your tea maker or the old fashioned pot way. My husband and I are " Black and Decker people. We personally would not have anything but Black and Decker products. Tou can't beat'em.
