Housed in commercial-grade materials with stainless-steel accents, this unique reservoir-style home-brewing system makes up to 10 cups (50 ounces) of coffee in just three minutes, plus it keeps hot water available for tea or other uses as needed. The coffee brewer's specially designed stainless-steel water tank features an internal thermostat, which keeps water at an ideal temperature for maximum flavor and fast brewing. In addition, the unit's patented sprayhead design improves coffee-flavor extraction, while its porcelain-coated warming plate with a lighted on/off" switch helps keep brewed coffee at the optimal serving temperature for hours. Other highlights include a convenient sliding lid for easy addition of brew water, a durable glass decanter with a generous handle, and a vacation switch to turn the tank heater off when the brewer will not be used for a long period of time.
