I would recommend this coffee maker
This is the second Black and Decker Thermal Carafe Coffeemaker we have owned. The first had a glass liner in the carafe. The current carafe is insulated metal. There is only a slight difference in the length of time the coffee stays hot. Our coffee is hot all morning and by early to mid-afternoon is starting to cool a little. The beauty of a thermal carafe is that the coffee doesn't sit and "cook" on the burner all day making it taste bitter and "old".I like this coffee maker and would recommend it to anyone. With all thermal carafes, the pot is smaller than a regular coffee maker carafe and one must take that into consideration when deciding on a thermal carafe. The quality is great and the timer feature is fantastic when we want to have our coffee ready for us when we get up in the morning.
