This product combines KitchenAid's pour-over brewing method with the latest automatic technologies, featuring a 24-hour programming function. With this function, you can start your day with a good cup of coffee, enjoy a cup of coffee that will get you moving in the afternoons, or have your machine brew you a cup of coffee to aid digestion after meals. The coffee maker is expertly crafted with input from professional baristas and effectively mimics the handcrafted coffee brewing process. The reservoir system first wets the ground coffee and then continuously passes hot water through it. This helps the ground coffee absorb the water, resulting in a more intense aroma. The unique brewing technology brings the water to 93°C before brewing without saturating the ground coffee equally, ensuring that your coffee is ready to be poured into the cup at any time. The heating plate keeps the carafe warm for up to 30 minutes without overheating. The Progress Bar visual display shows every step of the brewing process from heating, pouring, and brewing.
