Review on Efficient Brewing: Unveiling the Toastmaster TCM12PW 12-Cup Coffeemaker by Nathan Barraclough

Ok I got this from a local discount store as our old kettle broke and we needed our morning coffee! It's been about a month and so far so good in terms of operation. BUT. the basket is black, the whole frame is black - it is very difficult and inconvenient to insert the basket into the coffee maker to make coffee. It's easy to line up the top pin, but nearly impossible to insert the bottom pin, especially if you haven't had your coffee yet. I use a bright flashlight to help him align. And as others have pointed out, the coffee is not hot.
