Includes an active charcoal water filter to reduce chlorine and tap impurities, paired with a permanent washable nylon filter that eliminates the recurring need for disposable paper filters.
30-Min Keep Warm & Shutoff
A dedicated heating plate maintains the ideal serving temperature for 30 minutes following extraction, followed by an automatic safety shutoff that provides complete peace of mind.

Care & Usage Guide
Maintain peak coffee extraction and prolong the lifespan of your coffee maker with these simple care recommendations.
Daily Cleaning
Rinse the permanent nylon filter and stainless steel carafe thoroughly after each use with warm, soapy water. Wipe the exterior housing with a soft damp cloth.
Charcoal Filter Care
Soak the charcoal water filter cartridge before initial installation. Replace every 60 days or after approximately 60 uses to maintain fresh, crisp tap water filtration.
Periodic Descaling
Run a cycle using a standard descaling solution or a diluted vinegar mixture every 1 to 3 months depending on local water hardness to prevent mineral scale buildup.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Brew Pause™ function work?
When you slide the stainless steel carafe out of the warming base during an active brewing cycle, a spring-loaded seal under the brew basket temporarily stops the flow of coffee. You can pour a quick cup and return the carafe within 20–30 seconds so the rest of the pot finishes brewing seamlessly.
Do I need to buy paper filters for this machine?
No. The machine includes a reusable permanent nylon mesh coffee filter that holds ground coffee directly. However, standard #2 cone paper filters can also be used if you prefer paper filtration.
How long does the warming plate keep the coffee hot?
The built-in warming plate stays active for 30 minutes following the brewing cycle to maintain optimal serving temperature, after which the automatic shutoff feature safely turns off the heating element.
Can the water reservoir be removed for filling?
Yes. The water tank lifts straight out of the machine body, allowing you to fill it directly under your kitchen faucet or filtered water dispenser without splashing or tipping the entire appliance.
