About - Toastess TFC-42T
The TFC-42T is part of the coffeemaker test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, drip coffeemaker models like the TFC-42T are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below. Brew temperature: Brew temperature is the ability to reach 195°F or more for six minutes. Convenience: Convenience reflects ease of filling the reservoir, placing the filter, gauging the amount of coffee remaining, cleanup, and clarity of controls. Carafe handling: Carafe handling covers handle comfort, tendency to drip when pouring, balance of a full carafe, and how easy it was to empty the last liquid. Models with no score here brew into single-serve containers, or are dispenser-style. Dispenser models hold the brew in a tank; you fill your cup by pressing it against the dispenser lever.
