This 12-cup coffee maker brews at high temperature in about half the time of other models--meaning there's a shorter wait between your eyes opening in the morning and your first dosage of caffeine. The stainless-steel, copper-braised (not aluminum) heating element ensures cleaner operation with less calcification. The automatic pause-and-pour will make sure you don't have to be awake enough to shut the coffee maker off before pulling the carafe out from under the spout, and the soft-touch on-off button is easy to find even when your eyes are still full of sleep. Featuring a front fill and removable cone filter liner, the coffee maker also has hidden cord storage to reduce countertop clutter. Sleek, black, contemporary-styled housing will match any kitchen décor. The 1,450-watt, 120-volt coffee maker includes a one-year warranty. .
