Sunbeam Model 6385 10 cup coffee maker

My coffee maker is a Sunbeam 10 cup coffee maker, model # 6385. I personally am the only one in the household who drinks coffee and therefore do not make more than 4 cups at a time; yet it is very easy to measure out smaller amounts and makes excellent coffee.
It is very quick at heating the water and brewing (which can be bad if you forget to put the pot in on time!). It is easy to clean and cools down relatively quickly. I usually rinse out the pot right after I am done pouring my coffee, so I haven't had any stains on any parts of the machine yet. I have had this coffee maker for about three years and use it ~3 times/week. It really makes great coffee and is easy to use - simply plug it in, pour in the water, press a button and there is coffee as a reward. It's also inexpensive, although I can't remember exactly how much we paid for it, it couldn't have been more than around twenty-five or thirty dollars.
It is simple and easy to use and cleans up very well as I stated before, something that every busy person likes to hear. I really haven't tried to make a large pot of coffee before, but I would think you would get the same quality coffee with a larger amount. It uses any standard filters for a cofee maker of its size (10-12 cups) - I happen to buy the cheaper ones, but they work just as well.
It is also relatively compact for being a 10-12 cup coffee maker. I have really enjoyed the service that I have received from this coffee maker and it has lasted a long time. I would buy the same coffee maker again if I had the choice. Really a great buy - would recommend to others as well. Thank you.
