Black & Decker 8-Cup Thermal Coffeemaker TCM700

Date Published: 6/21/06

Black & Decker's 8-Cup Thermal Coffeemaker TCM700 offers a sleek, contemporary design and straightforward practicality. A stylish silver accent band around the unit's middle provides a slight hourglass shape to the slender, 17-inch-tall black base.

The touchpad control panel, centrally located at the bottom of the base, houses the on/off control with green indicator light and an easy-to-set 24-hour programmable clock/timer, allowing freshly brewed coffee to be ready and waiting at your convenience. The sturdy, stainless-steel thermal carafe stands 7 inches tall on its 5-1/2-inch diameter flat bottom and complements the base unit with its black pour spout, handle, and snug fitting brew-through lid.

The carafe's attractive and functional cool-touch exterior is ideal for tabletop serving, and the thermal interior design keeps coffee fresh and piping hot up to 4 hours after brewing. Additional features of this model include the convenient ability to "Sneak-A-Cup" before the brew cycle is complete, an easy-read water-level indicator, and auto-shutoff.

The one-piece water reservoir and brew basket cover of the Black & Decker TCM700 allows easy top access to the removable brew basket (which uses No. 4 cone-shaped paper filters, not included) and for pouring the desired amount of water (up to 8 cups).
