Gevalia Model XCC-12

This 12 cup coffee maker was a free gift for signing up with Gevalia auto-delivery coffees. I've used both Gevalia Coffee and Store brands in this machine. I prefer Folgers to gourmet coffees because of the consistency.

This coffee maker is awesome! It has a programmable timer that starts brewing before you even wake up. The carafe washes well right in my dishwasher.

The cone filter is permanent...saving me money on paper filters (which, by the way, absorb flavorful oils from your coffee). I will never use paper filters again! The filter cone washes in top rack of dishwasher...comes out shiny as new every time.

This is the best coffee maker I've seen in awhile.

I also own a Keurig single cup brewer which is handy when using the pre-packaged "K cups" but they are so expensive!

Also, this machine is LOUD. It wakes up the whole house sometimes. This machine also features a permanent filter so you can use your favorite store coffees, but is too much work to clean out each time for just one cup of coffee.

This machine cost over $100 and is sitting up on a shelf for now. I prefer my free 12 cup machine.
