For many years I've stuck to decaf, and DH has regular, so we keep two coffee pots to avoid delays and confusion. The're both Mr. Coffee. One was at least 15 years old when it quit, and we got another like it. My only beef is that when it comes to coffee makers they must think we sip it out of a child's tea set. A "12 cup" coffee maker only holds enough for 4 typical mugs. I think they ought to at least have the decency to consider that in any US kitchen a measuring cup is 8 ounces, so that if pots were labeled properly we could easily figure out how much coffee we need when we have several visitors. One so-called 12-cup pot is definitely not enough for 12 or even 6 people.
