A charcoal water filter and a permanent commercial-style gold tone coffee filter allow only pure coffee flavor to flow through, and the popular Brew Pause™ feature lets you sneak a cup before the cycle is finished.

Dishwasher safe parts. Separate grind and filter chambers for easy cleanup. The freshest tasting coffee outside of a coffee bar.
