The Hamilton Beach® 12 Cup Coffee Maker extracts coffee's rich flavor with its hot brewing temperature and cone-shaped filter. The cone shape allows water to flow more evenly through ground coffee for great flavor extraction. The coffee maker comes with a sample pack of #4 cone filters. The removable, cone-shaped brew basket and glass carafe are dishwasher safe for easy cleaning, and the nonstick warming plate easily wipes clean. The Auto Pause & Pour feature automatically stops the flow of coffee so you can sneak a cup while the coffee's still brewing without making a mess. The water reservoir has a large easy-view window that lets you see the exact water level from the front of the coffee maker. The durable borosilicate glass carafe has a handle designed for comfortable pouring and measurement markings for accurate filling. The coffee maker is simple to use. Just add coffee, water, and brew with the push of a button to make up to 12 cups of great-tasting, hot coffee at home. The switch has a light that illuminates when the coffee maker is on to remind you to shut it off.
