Krups Black with Stainless Steel 10-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker with Thermal CarafeWith FREE Durgol Decalcifier

Combining appealing and distinctive design with a powerful, fully programmable brewing system, this 1100-watt coffeemaker brews up to 10 cups of coffee quickly and efficiently. Along with its bright, blue, illuminated LCD display, the unit's control panel offers simple push-button functions including "on/off", a fully programmable clock, a programmable timer/auto-on from one to five hours, and an aroma switch that can be set to maximize flavor for one to three cups when less coffee is desired. With a no-drip spout and a generous handle for easy pouring, the unit's double-wall stainless-steel vacuum carafe maintains flavor and temperature longer. A popular pause-and-serve function allows for pouring a cup midbrew, and an audible signal indicates when brewing is complete. The appliance includes a soft-eject swing-out filter holder for easily adding ground coffee, as well as a magnified water-level indicator for high visibility. The machine's 60-ounce water reservoir provides a built-in water filtration system that removes chlorine and lime scale build-up to ensure better tasting coffee and longer machine life, while its automatic electronic de-scaling indicator measures brew time and calculates when de-scaling is necessary. The coffeemaker measures 10-1/2 by 8-1/2 by 13-3/4 inches and carries a one-year warranty.
Customer Review: Great coffee for only six months
If you buy this coffee maker, be sure to keep the receipt. We got six months of great coffee out of it (that's why I gave it two stars), but this morning it won't make coffee. It just flashes "8888" and the out of water symbol. Yes, we've emptied it several times, unplugged it to reset, and tried different assorted fixes. Buy at your own risk! When we purchased this unit last summer there were lots of reviews here on it. Our unit is a FMF5.
