For larger gatherings, up to 10 cups of coffee can be prepared, making it ideal for entertaining family and friends. The 4-cup function is perfect for brewing a smaller amount of coffee. A convenient keep-warm feature keeps your coffee pot at the perfect temperature for up to 40 minutes after brewing.
