Experience the automated path to better flavor with this black stainless steel grind and brew coffee maker. If you are leaving a basic drip coffee maker behind and want fresh-ground flavor without overthinking it, this Cuisinart coffee maker handles both steps on one timer. Simply add whole beans to the hopper, press brew, and the built-in blade grinder runs for seconds just before brewing. There is no separate grinder to learn and no transferring grounds. When you want to wake up to a fresh coffee pot, the 24-hour programmable timer lets you set your schedule tonight. The machine brews up to 12 cups per pot, with each cup equaling approx. 5 oz., into a glass carafe with an ergonomic handle and a drip-free spout. This 12 cup coffee maker sits on a warming plate with an adjustable auto shut-off from 0 to 4 hrs. to keep your drip coffee hot. If you are brewing for a sleeping house or just want convenience, the grind-off setting lets you use pre-ground beans. Unlike other coffee machines, this model features a 1 to 4 cup setting that brews small batches without diluting flavor, while the Brew Pause function lets you pour mid-cycle. Maintenance is simple for this 10 lbs. machine, which measures 15.5 in. high, 8.13 in. long, and 9.98 in. wide. A gold-tone permanent filter and a charcoal water filter come in the box, and the self-clean cycle with a decalcify indicator handles mineral build-up maintenance. Whether you are looking for reliable coffee makers for daily use, comparing drip coffee makers, or upgrading from standard coffee pots, this coffee machine delivers a full pot with nothing to master. Discover why this coffee maker is the perfect fit for your kitchen.
