With its sleek look and durable steel-body construction, this 40oz (8-Cup) coffeemaker provides an array of convenient features. The unit brews coffee directly into its 40-ounce stainless-steel and carbon fiber carafe by way of the specially designed carafe lid, effectively sealing in the heat and ensuring optimal flavor. In addition, the carafe is thermal insulated, providing five hours of heat retention without the concern of burnt-tasting coffee. Other highlights include a convenient top-filling water tank and top-loading filter basket and a blue power indicator light. For safety, the coffeemaker shuts off automatically when brewing is complete, and its cord stores neatly for tidy countertops. The coffeemaker measures 12 by 8-1/4 by 14-1/2 inches and carries a one-year parts-and-labor warranty.
