Black & Decker TCM508 8-Cup Coffee Maker

Pros: Fast brewing, resulting with great coffee. Keeps coffee hot for hours, with no bitter taste.
Cons: Lid operation could be improved. Not a big thing.

Bought this coffee maker in 2002 and can't wear it out. It makes excellent coffee with little fuss (why not; all these drip coffee makers do is run water through the coffee in a paper filter, what's to mess up?)

The machine is fast and keeps the coffee hot with excellent flavor for hours. The automatic feature works fine and I always have a great pot of coffee waiting for me every morning. The reasonable price @ around $39 or less if on sale, is terrific. I just don't see spending $100 or more for fancier machines when this one makes as good a brew as any.
