Farberware FCP512S 12-Cup Coffee Maker

Pros: Makes a great-tasting pot of deliciously perked coffee.
Cons: none

I don't drink coffee much and when I do it's de-caf with milk and a touch of sugar. I like to have regular coffee around though and a nice pot to make it in when company comes. To me there is nothing more homey than the aroma of freshly brewed coffee....

Pros: Nice design and features.
Cons: Short life. Programming is convoluted / poor instructions. Limited warranty and no repair possible.
