Here you have it - grounds for divorcing yourself from any other coffee maker: the DeLonghi 14-cup brewer is designed to steep your ground coffee, and extract the full, robust flavor.
It’s not all about the beans. Great coffee is a product of great beans plus great design. The DeLonghi DC312T 14-Cup Coffee Maker is designed with a ‘shower head’ water drip that allows your grounds to steep in heated water before releasing the full-bodied flavor you count on in a cup of coffee. You’ll soon be drinking the same kind of robust, non-bitter coffee served at upscale coffee shops.
Special capabilities include a 24-hour programmable timer with a 2-hour automatic shut off, internal water level indicator and a permanent nylon coffee filter. An aroma button activates a time-released process that extracts the ideal aroma and flavor. 14-cup (70 ounce) capacity.
