DESC: This high-performance appliance is handy when serving a small crowd with its ability to brew in less than a minute per cup, when brewing 12 cups. And for pouring a cup before the brew cycle is complete, the unit is designed with a handy brew-pause feature. Other conveniences include its programmable clock/timer that allows for waking up to fresh coffee, as well as its two-hour automatic shut-off function for worry-free brewing. The included carafe is specially designed to prevents drips and spills when pouring a cup or filling the reservoir.
