Cuisinart SS-12 Coffee Center for Brew Basics, 12 cups, black/silver

Cuisinart's Coffee Center Brew Basics offers the best of both worlds with its dual brew options. The fully programmable coffeemaker allows you to choose the amount you brew, providing a full-service option that makes 12 fresh cups in a glass carafe, as well as a single-serve side that brews 8-, 10-, and 12-oz sized cups in minutes (compatible with any single-cup pod, including Keurig's K-Cup).

Whether you're hosting at home and need to serve multiple cups of coffee quickly or just want to brew a cup for yourself with minimal mess, the Coffee Center Brew Basics is here to deliver. Maximize the counter space in your kitchen with Cuisinart's answer to all your coffee needs; this two-in-one solution is your go-to for the freshest, most delicious coffee.

The 12-cup carafe and single-serve options provide flexibility to cater to your coffee needs. The water reservoir is 64 oz for the drip coffee (containing an individual charcoal filter) and 40 oz for the single-serve (also containing an individual charcoal filter). The LCD display on the control panel features a 24-hour programmable clock and an "Add water" icon, ensuring you're always aware of the machine's status.

To enhance your coffee-brewing experience, the Coffee Center Brew Basics offers an adjustable keep-warm time (0-4 hours) and a brew pause feature that allows you to remove the carafe mid-brew to pour a cup before returning it to continue the brew.

It's important to note that too coarse a grind, too little coffee, or insufficient tamping of the grounds before brewing can lead to inadequate pressure for a proper brew. Additionally, the amount of espresso extracted may vary depending on the grind size and amount, and reprogramming may be needed when the size and amount are adjusted.

Cuisinart's Coffee Center Brew Basics is the ultimate solution for your coffee needs, providing the flexibility to cater to both your full-service and single-serve preferences. With its programmable features, adjustable settings, and attention to detail, this two-in-one system ensures you can enjoy the freshest and most delicious coffee, whether you're entertaining guests or indulging in a personal cup.
