Thermal Carafe Coffeemaker is a coffee lover’s dream. 

It delivers the freshest coffee in the world. The secret? The patented lid.
Coffee brews and pours through without ever having to open or turn the
lid. Flavor and heat are sealed in. Now, you can program your 
coffeemaker to start brewing when you want. Simply set the desired
brew time, fill the reservoir with water, put in your filter, add ground 
coffee and press the “ON” button. In minutes, you’ll have a wonderfully
fresh pot of coffee.
