Good taste is no longer optional, it's required. The new Optimal Brew thermal coffeemaker from Mr. Coffee® will brew faster and hotter than your average coffeemaker. These two elements combine to provide the fullest, richest flavor extraction and making a better cup of coffee. Other features include a double-walled 10-cup thermal carafe, removable water resevoir, grab-a-cup auto pause, 2-hour auto shut-off, freshness time, brew strength selector and a special cleaning cycle.
