Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Sunbeam TGX23 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker, Black
Customer Review: Okay for the price, once we figured it out
Summary: 3 Stars
I had been researching coffee makers online and couldn't find any that everyone liked (not surprisingly). There are always 5 star and 1 star reviews on everything. So we ended up buying this coffeemaker spur of the moment for practically nothing (comparatively speaking) at Target.
When I started using it, I would have readily agreed with two of the critiques I have seen on this site: that the carafe doesn't pour very well when it is full, and that it makes weak coffee. But my wife pointed out that as I used 3 scoops of coffee to make 8 cups in our percolator, it might take more than 4 scoops to make 12 cups in this one. So I started using 5 scoops and the coffee isn't weak anymore. Problem solved. Then I stopped making 12 cups and put slightly less water in - 10 or 11 cups - and it pours better now, as a lot of the problem was when I first started pouring. Plus I pour more slowly.
Okay, so maybe I shouldn't have to adapt so much to my coffee maker, but it was dirt cheap and I bought it, so I am going to get good use and good coffee out of it for as long as I can. I haven't used the timer and have a zillion clocks in the house so I don't worry about those functions or whether the clock is backlit or not. We keep unplugging it to plug in other small appliances anyway.
Our last coffee maker cost about $50 and lasted barely past the limited warranty date, so I don't envision much problem getting this one to be more of a value than that.
