12-Cup Capacity
Drip Free Pouring Spout
Sneak-a-Cup Feature
This is one programmable coffeemaker that's actually very easy to program. The touch-pad buttons are intuitive, and the printed directions clear. To prepare for making a pot at any hour, the lid lifts up (hinges in rear), exposing the brew basket. You just need to add a flat-bottomed paper filter and the ground coffee of your choice. There's ample pour space for water, the level of which you can view through a convenient window on either side. It also has a programmable clock/timer which can be set for delayed start.
The glass carafe is wide and its lip pours without a single drip. In addition, the broad bottom on the carafe affords good surface contact with the stay-hot plate for up to two hours; at that point, the machine shuts off automatically for safety. Those who can't wait for a sip before the entire pot is brewed will appreciate the Sneak-a-Cup feature.
