Getting a small coffee pot doesn't mean that you have to sacrifice great taste. The 4 cup coffee maker lets you make a small brew, especially if you are the only one that enjoys a cup of java. With the Cuisinart coffee pot, you can have four cups of coffee ready for you when you get up in the morning. Both you and your spouse can have a cup in the morning and one to take with you, so that you don't have to stop at Starbucks along the way. The Cuisinart model has many of the features that you would expect to find on the larger percolators. The 4 cup percolator is a drip percolator that lets the great tasting brew drip into a stainless steel carafe.
Auto shutoff coffee maker
The Cuisinart percolator has a 3 minute automatic shut off and it has a brew pause feature that stops the drip while you get the first cuppa. Then you can enjoy the taste of the French Roast while you wait for the rest of the pot of coffee to brew. This small percolator is perfect for areas where counter space is limited. You can have it in your kitchen, your office or the kitchen area of your office building. You don't have to worry about forgetting to turn off the coffee pot before you go to work because the percolator will shut off 30 minutes after the brew is finished.
With the Cuisinart percolator, you will get your coffee very quickly. It brews 4 cups of java within 5 minutes. The stainless steel carafe is housed in plastic and it is not thermal. You will need to use a warming plate to keep the coffee in the carafe warm, which you can control with the on/off switch. This percolator also has a specially designed drip showerhead so that you get the full taste of the coffee grinds that you have in the filter basket. The carafe is easy to hold and is strong.
There is a drip proof spout with a stiff mesh screen, which helps to prevent accidental spills when you are pouring out a cup of coffee. The fluid indicators are easy to read and are marked on both the inside and outside of the carafe. One thing that you do need to keep in mind is that this percolator does not have a water filter, so if you have concerns about the quality of water, you should use bottled water or take the water from your Brita water filter in the refrigerator.
