FEATURE
This feature interrupts the flow of coffee from the
basket to let you pour that first cup mid-brew.
Because the flavor profile of coffee brewed at the
start of a cycle differs from that brewed toward
the end, be aware that using this feature will
weaken the flavor strength of the finished pot.
NoTE: Removing carafe for more than 20
seconds may cause filter basket to overflow.
