Product Description

The black TCM450B brews 8 cups of coffee, turns itself off and keeps the coffee at the perfect service temperature in a thermal carafe to prevent the bitterness than can develop with a traditional "hot plate" coffeemaker. For convenience the clock / timer allows you to program your coffee the night before. Forget to program it? The sneak-a-cup feature allows you to pour your first cup while the coffee is still brewing. The removable filter basket uses cone shaped filters.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good coffee maker POOR QUALITY, October 24, 2007

Makes good coffee. I like the thermal carafe because it keeps coffee hot longer and can you take it to table. I didn't give it 5 stars because plastic is a little poorly made. But it works and the price was good.
UPDATE:
Since I wrote above I decided to return it. The plastic is very poor quality and is warping. Edges don't line up well. Not worth keeping.

I would change the stars to only 2.

3.0 out of 5 stars Coffee Maker, February 23, 2008

We've looked for a long time to find a glass thermos type carafe/coffee maker and this is the only one we found. We think all the stainless steel carafe types impart a metallic taste.

We're sightly disappointed in how long it keeps the coffee hot even when tempered. Otherwise everything else about the coffee maker is fine.

Also, we were supposed to get free super saver shipping with this item but somehow being on the same order as some other items caused that to fall through and we wound up paying a hefty shipping fee for this item. We'll be careful to place separate orders in the future.

1.0 out of 5 stars I HATE this coffee maker!, September 2, 2009

I LOVED the older model of this coffee maker..but THIS model is TERRIBLE! The coffee spills all over EVERY SINGLE TIME you poor a cup..it's a terrible design flaw in the spout i guess..it's so aggravating! You have to wipe up 1/4 cup of spilled coffee every time you pour a cup. the coffee also does not get as hot as the old model. It's lukewarm at best. I will be buying a different brand now...I can't deal with this poor excuse for a coffee maker any longer. DO NOT BUY!!
