Brew great-tasting coffee and keep it hot for hours with the KRUPS programmable 12-cup thermal coffee maker. The digital clock with auto-on allows for waking up to the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and its double-insulated thermal carafe keeps coffee warm for up to four hours with minimal temperature loss. The coffee maker?s bold function produces a richer, fuller-bodied taste, while its special small-batch setting ensures maximum flavor and aroma when brewing just 1 to 4 cups. It also provides a pause-and-serve function for pouring a cup mid-brew.
