With the Hamilton Beach® 12 Cup Dispensing Coffee Maker, you can enjoy fresh flavorful coffee that's ready whenever you want a cup. It works without a carafe, so you don't have to worry about one more thing to clean, spill or break. The internal warming heater keeps the coffee warm and fresh hours after brewing. The result is fresh, tastier coffee for a longer period of time. The coffee maker dispenses hot or iced coffee directly into a cup or a travel mug whenever you're ready. Just press the dispensing bar. The coffee maker brews 12 cups of coffee at a cup-a-minute rate and then keeps the coffee warm at just the right temperature for serving. It gives you ultimate brewing control with 4 brewing options: bold, regular, 1-4 cups for small batches, and iced coffee. The blue-backlit programmable clock is easy to see and can be set up to 24 hours in advance for wake-up ready coffee. You can even program auto shutoff so that the coffee maker automatically turns off 0-4 hours after brewing. Helpful reminders on the digital display let you know when it's time to clean the coffee maker.
