I have wanted a 14 cup coffeemaker for a long time, finally did it. We love this machine. There is a control for the warmer plate, which if you choose, will keep the coffee hot. There is also a 'Bold' button if you like richer, bolder coffee. Not to mention, there is now enough coffee for my husband and I without fighting for the last few drops.
Has a larger carafe and is exactly what I needed. With this feature I am able to have enough coffee for all without having to make a 2nd pot of coffee.
