The 12 Cup BrewStation coffee maker with Removable Reservoir means no pouring and no spilling. There’s no need to use the carafe for messy filling because the water reservoir removes from the side of the unit, allowing for fast, easy access.
Last brew station the water had to be carefully poured in, this one has a side compartment. Well engineered unit. Easy to set up, options for 1-4 hours on time, programming easy. Best part is that you don't have to wait for the brewing to stop to get coffee. Wish it had a larger capacity. 12 cups capacity is closer to 7 or 8. Capacity is not true 12 8 oz cups. Looks great sitting on our counter and makes great coffee. Got on sale at BB with free shipping. Best price on internet. Highly recommend this unit if you want straight forward easy to use coffee maker without the fuss of a "pot".
