TCM4B Pros-
- #2 CONE filter that makes a GREAT cup of flavorful coffee. Cone filters give more water contact than basket filters!
- Shower head!
- Brews 4-cups (2 large USA mugs) of HOT coffee, in about 6min (optimal grounds contact time!)!
- No-drip carafe ( If you thumb-up the lid, & pour medium speed)!
- Pause & pour (20 seconds max!- hold basket in with thumb, & lift up back of carafe...).-
- 1 tbs. grounds per cup, for medium strength coffee.
- Longevity!- I read another user review where they had "happily" used it 4-times a day, for 2-years!
Cons-
- This is not Heavy Duty, and probably un-suitable for a big office... I would never put any of the parts in a dishwasher! It should last long with lots of TLC!?
- On-Light is on the side.

I have been searching for a GREAT 4/5-cup coffeemaker, to replace my excellent old Braun KF-400 10-cup (the newer Braun's... brew way too fast, for full flavor extraction!)?
-I burr grind "organic (no BAD chemicals...!)" gourmet beans, filtered water..., and want a GREAT cup of coffee!?
I first tried the Black & Decker DCM500B 5-cup coffeemaker, & was VERY UNHAPPY!- bland flavorless, SLOW, MESSY basket paper filter (removing it is a mess!)..., coffeemaker!-
There is a reason the B&D's sooo slow/tasteless!- It's the large-diameter "basket" type filter!
Even with a shower head (sprays only about the size of a .50 cent piece)- the grounds on the sides "slowly" get wet, & are hardly strained for flavor (shut it off after brewing two-cups/look- you'll see 75% dry grounds!)!
-Most ALL Top-Rated gourmet coffeemakers, use the smaller-diameter CONE "paper" filters (more water contact...!).
-! Paper filters also remove heart-UNhealthy chemicals!-
"Use no-hole unbleached paper filters when brewing your coffee. Kahweol and Cafestol, two substances in brewed coffee, can increase cholesterol levels! Paper filters trap both of these. Skip the espresso and other unfiltered coffees!"!
[...]
I Googled (many days/hours, and tried several brands) for a GREAT 4/5 cup coffeemaker, that uses "CONE" filters?-
I finally found the EXCELLENT Toastmaster TCM4B!
TCM4B Pros-
- #4 CONE filter that makes a GREAT cup of flavorful coffee!
- Shower head!
- Brews 4-cups (2 large USA mugs) of HOT coffee, in about 6min (optimal grounds contact time!)!
- No-drip carafe ( If you thumb-up the lid, & pour medium speed)!
- Pause & pour (20 seconds max!- hold basket in with thumb, & lift up back of carafe... Kinda messy!- I wait.).-
- 1 tbs. grounds per cup, for medium strength coffee.
- Longevity!- I read another user review where they had "happily" used it 4-times a day, for 2-years!
- I had good results with the Kroger natural brown/un-bleached paper filters!
- Be sure & wash ALL parts in HOT soapy water to remove oil release film. I also put 1/2 cup of white vinegar in first break-in pot, along with an empty filter.
Per instructions!- Let cool 10min., before 2nd break-in pot... (I've ruined many CM's by not waiting!)!
Cons-
- This isn't Heavy Duty, and probably not suitable for a big office... I would never put any of the parts in a dishwasher! It should last long with lots of TLC!?
- On-Light, is on the side.
- Does not come with any paper filters- Shop ahead for un-bleached #4 cone filters.
