Proctor Silex FrontFill Drip Coffee Maker, Digital & Programmable, 12 Cup Glass Carafe, Black and Silver (43685PS)

Excellent basic product at this affordable price!
I don’t care for the attached coffee pot lid. It is cumbersome to clean and fill. Otherwise, it is easy to use and brews tasty coffee quickly.

Total JUNK! Lasted all of 2 months!
I cant find enough negative things to say about this junk coffee maker.1) First, the “space saving/fits under cabinet” thing is a gimmick and a joke. Yes, it fits under the cabinet, but you still have to move it out from under the cabinet, to fill it. At least with a full size pot sitting in front of the cabinet, you can use the space behind for things, and still be able to reach them. With this, when its under the cabinet, you cant put anything in front of it, as you constantly have to keep pulling it out to fill it, or just leave it out. So it actually uses MORE counter space.2) The swing away filter basket drips coffee/condensation all over your counter, when you open it.3) The filter basket is shallow, due to the ridiculous “space saving design”. You cant use a taller than average filter, or it bends over and you get grounds in your coffee. So youre stuck with standard size filters which are flush with the top of the filter basket. But, it dumps water into the filter so fast, it over flows the filter, and you end up with grounds.4) The lid of the carafe (the entire maker, actually) must have been designed by someone who never drinks coffee. The lid holds condensation on the top, that runs off and onto the counter, when you tip the carafe to pour coffee.5) The spout on the carafe is like so many others, that allows coffee to run back down the side and onto the counter, when you are pouring coffee. So plan on pouring every cup of coffee over the sink.6) As if this maker wasnt junky enough and poor quality, now, after 2 months…. the carafe has cracked.The maker is now in the trash. I would buy anything from this company, if this is the best they can do. You have been warned

This is not the best coffee maker out there
For a couple dollars more, we could have gotten the coffee maker (sounds like “Fister Toffee” 😉) of the same brand to replace the one that just died—the button stopped working. My husband and I did a lot of back-and-forth about trying another coffee maker… He makes the coffee! This one seemed like a good thing because the water front-loads, and it makes 12 cups of coffee. The coffee is hot though we found we needed to put a little extra coffee in because it wasn’t strong enough.There are so many downsides to this coffee maker: first, the handle on the carafe is lightweight. It does not feel like it will last very long. This is a problem, of course, because it is holding really hot liquid. Second, half of the time when pouring coffee, it drips. I don’t know why, but my other coffee maker did not. The front loading area for the water is not real big, so you can’t just pour the water in all at once, but have to pour it in more slowly. This is an issue if you’re in a hurry. There is a spot at the top of the handle on the carafe, where we usually would hold the other carafe: but in this Proctor Silex model, there is steam coming out at the top of the handle where the lid joins the carafe and so I burned my thumb. Next, the coffee maker itself is lightweight and cheap: so when you try to return the carafe onto the “hot plate,” it pushes the whole coffee maker back on the counter and you need two hands to secure the carafe onto the hot plate. For some, that may not seem like a big deal, but I have never needed a second hand to complete this simple task… Finally, we are used to loading both our water and our coffee filter (with coffee) at the top. No mess and no fuss. This brand requires that you pull the coffee basket that holds the filter out to the side. I did this because there were a lot of little grounds in my coffee today, and I wanted to see if the filter had collapsed. The filter had not fallen, but the coffee maker commenced to drip coffee all over my countertop. To save a few bucks, I feel that we disrupted our happy coffee morning ritual. This puppy is going back!

Front fill
The feature I like most about this coffee pot is the front fill!
