Slim and compact, this coffeemaker brews up to twelve 5-ounce cups of coffee and provides a dial for selecting the brewing strength. For a quick pour during the brewing cycle, the coffeemaker automatically pauses when the carafe is removed. For safety and ease of mind, the warming plate shuts off automatically after two hours. The durable glass carafe has a knuckle guard and is dishwasher-safe. The filter basket swings open for easy use and lifts off for cleaning, and it, too, is dishwasher-safe. To prolong its life and deliver better flavor, the coffeemaker has a patented system for reducing mineral buildup. Clad in black plastic, the coffeemaker measures 6-3/4 inches wide, 11-3/4 inches high, and 13-1/2 inches deep (including the carafe handle) and carries a two-year warranty against defects. .
