Shapely and strikingly clad in platinum-colored plastic, this thoroughly contemporary coffeemaker has a button offering the option of soaking ground coffee before the brewing cycle begins to extract maximum flavor. That's just one of the up-to-date features. Others include a digital clock/timer that can be programmed up to 24 hours in advance for brewing fresh wake-up coffee and an automatic pause of the brewing cycle when the carafe is removed from the warming plate for a midbrew pour. The carafe is glass and dishwasher-safe. The warming plate is nonstick so it wipes clean in a jiffy, and it automatically shuts off after two hours for safety. An easy-viewing window permits monitoring of the water level. The filter basket swings out for convenient filling. Six conical filters and a coffee scoop are included. The coffeemaker measures 8-3/4 inches wide, 13 inches high, and 11-1/4 inches deep. .
