User Manual KitchenAid KCM1208OB 12 Cup Drip Coffee Maker

According to what I have read, oils called terpenes that are found in coffee can cause increased cholesterol levels. However, paper filters remove most terpenes. This coffeepot uses size 4 cone filters.They are cheap and a lot less messier than the “gold” filter.

Yes, it does. But not an annoying one. You also can pull the carafe out mid brewing and pour a cup. And no messes happen.

The coffee maker has a one (1) year warranty.

To extend the heating plate time, you would have to add more water to the tank and start the brew cycle. There is not a way to just extend the keep warm function.

The KCM1208 model coffee maker measures 13.4 inches deep, 14.34 inches tall and 7.17 inches wide.
