Product DescriptionWith its beautiful, easy-to-use design, this 5-cup automatic drip coffeemaker brews great-tasting coffee and nicely compliments any kitchen decor. The unit's thermal-insulated stainless-steel and carbon-fiber carafe functions not only as an attractive serving piece, but it also keeps 40 ounces of coffee hot for up to five hours. The coffeemaker offers a push-button control panel, with a digital display and blue LED indicator lights, which allows for simple programming of the automatic timer. The unit's pause-and-serve function makes it easy to pour a quick cup midbrew, and at the end of the brewing cycle, the appliance automatically shuts off for safety.
What Others Say
Great coffee machine
This is a great coffee machine. Makes great coffee and keeps it hot. The container is insulated, a bit heavy, but works well. The overall look of the coffee machine is great and stylish.
Flimsy Parts
The lid on the carafe of this machine broke on us after only eight months. Compare this to cheaper machines we previously had for years. A new carafe is $60 - more than most run of the mill machines which will last longer (and more than the Consumer Reports recommended Best Buy, which is Black and Decker).
Will not purchase Saeco again. Rip off.
