The Mr. Coffee Black Coffee Maker, 12 Cups, with Auto Pause and Glass Carafe is a great addition to any kitchen. One feature that truly makes this coffee maker stand out is the convenient Grab-A-Cup Auto Pause feature. This feature allows you to pour a cup of coffee during the brewing process without spilling a single drop, so you do not have to wait until the whole pot is finished to grab a fresh cup.
The cord storage is also a nice feature. This will prevent counter clutter and keep your kitchen organized. The 12 cup classic capacity of this Mr. Coffee maker ensures that you'll be able to make lots of rich, professionally crafted coffee for a crowd of people, or for one. The removable basket filter is another convenient feature that makes it easy to fill with grounds and easy to clean up when you're done.
Perhaps the most versatile aspect of this coffee maker is the fact that it has the ability to brew anywhere from one cup up to a complete 12 cups. With its proven formula of easy-to-use, hassle-free, and convenient features, this 12 cup coffee maker is a great addition to any household or office.
