Overview
The Taylor Swoden 12-Cup Programmable Coffee Maker is a drip coffee machine designed for home and office use. It features an LCD screen, programmable timer, and the ability to brew regular or strong coffee. The machine includes a glass carafe, a reusable filter, and a pause & serve function.
Features
Programmable Timer
The coffee maker includes an LCD screen that allows you to program the brew time up to 24 hours in advance. This enables you to set the machine to start brewing at a specific time.
Brewing Strength Selection
You can choose between Regular and Bold brewing strength. The showerhead design evenly saturates coffee grounds to extract maximum flavor.
12-Cup Capacity
The machine can brew up to 12 cups (1.8 liters) of coffee at a time. The glass carafe has clear markings for water level measurement.
Pause & Serve (Anti-Drip System)
The anti-drip system allows you to pause the brewing cycle and pour a cup mid-brew without mess. The flow stops automatically when the carafe is removed.
Two-Hour Auto Shutoff & Keep Warm
The nonstick warming plate keeps coffee warm for up to 2 hours after brewing. The machine automatically shuts off after 2 hours.
Auto Clean Function
The coffee maker features an automatic cleaning cycle. A flashing green light indicates when it is time to clean the machine.
Reusable Filter
A permanent, dishwasher-safe filter is included. It can be used with ground coffee or loose tea (e.g., Oolong, black tea, white tea).
Water Window
A large water window on the side of the machine allows you to easily see the water level.
