Review on ☕ Toastmaster TCM12W: Digital Coffeemaker Brewing 12 Cups with Precision by Sandra Saksena

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The ToastMaster still worked great, I just felt the need to change the .

I got a Toastmaster for Christmas in 2004 or 2005 (if I remember correctly). Whilst not sure if this is an exact model or not I no longer have the manual but it looks like this is exactly what I have on my kitchen table. I wanted to say a few words about the Toastmaster's reliability. When I moved into a new house a few years ago, I decided to replace a few kitchen appliances, including my coffee maker. The ToastMaster still worked great, I just felt the need to change a few things (I thought "new house = new appliances"). . Before I received the TM coffee maker I had never heard of this company and I had known the Mr.Coffee brand since I was a child. After buying a new coffee maker, I couldn't bring myself to throw away my TM and never got around to donating it. It still worked fine and made a nice cup of coffee, so I put it in a pantry in my house with full intentions of bypassing it and passing it on (by donating it to a tag shop or someone who might use it ). Well, without alerting my Mr. Coffee. mine yesterday :( It survived a final cleaning, but when I went to make my morning coffee it only beeped 5 times but didn't brew anything. The water stayed in the water tank and the coffee grounds were as dry as a bone in a coffee filter. Anyone who loves coffee can understand my frustration at the thought of not having freshly brewed coffee in the house, I was devastated (I'm not melodramatic lol) at the thought that I need to go for my daily dose of coffee/ Go caffeine to the coffee shop on the corner! That's when it dawned on me, I had a TM cabinet in stock. I hadn't used it or plugged it in in over two years so wasn't sure it would work. To my delight it worked right away when i plugged it in I cleaned the carafe and water tank, filled with fresh water, added coffee grounds and hoped for the best, to my delight it provided me with four wonderful ones n cups of my favorite coffee! While ToastMaster isn't the most famous or elite coffee maker brand, it has proven to be a lifesaver for me (hopefully other coffee lovers will see what I mean). I'm so damn glad I didn't throw away the ToastMaster coffee maker that's been sitting on the shelf in the cupboard gathering dust for two years. I am now awaiting delivery of a replacement coffee maker that has died (btw the Mr.Coffee phone agent I spoke to was great to deal with). In the meantime, ToastMaster will (hopefully) continue to offer me my morning cup of coffee. ToastMaster has proven to be a reliable lifesaver for black coffee lovers.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Infinitely sluggish
