If you want multiple cups of hot, fresh-tasting coffee and prefer the flexibility of 3 ways to brew, the FlexBrew® TRIO Coffee Maker with 12 Cup Thermal Carafe is the best choice. The 12 cup stainless steel thermal carafe insulates your hot coffee without the need for a heating plate, there's no fear of coffee losing its fresh, just-brewed flavor. To brew a single serving, you can use your favorite brand of pod (such as a K-Cup* pod) or ground coffee. Using a pod lets you brew 6, 8, or 10 oz. of coffee, and brewing with coffee grounds lets you brew 6, 8, 10, 12 or 14 oz. You'll get every cup fast because it brews an 8 oz. cup in about 90 seconds, and you can brew 7 single servings without refilling the 56 oz. water reservoir. On the carafe side, you can set up wake-up ready coffee with Easy-Touch programming and pour a cup before brewing is finished with Auto Pause & Pour. No matter how you brew, the coffee maker turns off right after brewing. Includes 12 cup stainless steel thermal carafe, single-serve pod holder, single-serve brew basket and cup rest with storage area.
