The thermal carafe made of double-walled stainless steel keeps coffee warm for up to 4 hours after brewing. Thanks to the high capacity of the carafe, up to 10 cups of coffee can be prepared. Once the carafe is removed, the machine stops dispensing to prevent dripping. The aroma function ensures a fuller flavor: the coffee brews more slowly, allowing it to absorb more aroma from the coffee grounds. Both the carafe and the filter insert are dishwasher safe. The automatic shut-off occurs 40 minutes after the last coffee has been brewed.
