Lance-Larkin BE-112 12-Cup Coffee Maker

Pros: Convenience and space saving Looks great
Cons: Cost

I have a galley kitchen and space is very limited. When I saw this built in coffee maker, I thought it would be worth the money for the additional counter-top space. It works like a charm. I was very surprised at the convenience factor of not having to fill the coffee maker every night before going to bed. It makes a great cup of Joe and visitors always want to know how it works. One draw back is that you must remember to empty left over coffee from the carafe because it will overflow when you make your next pot. We installed it ourselves with no problems. It is expensive for a coffee maker but I think it is worth the money. We have used it for 6 months with no problems.

Pros: Slick built-wall design. Quick brew time.
Cons: Coffee is weak and not hot when 1st made.

Pass on this one. Coffee is weak and comes out lukewarm (even with updated unit). If you like strong hot coffee, you'll need to use 2 tablespoons of ground coffee per cup and then heat it in a microwave.
