Why is the brew Express coffee maker recessed?
The recessed design saves counter space for cooking and other appliances and includes a rough-in box for wall mounting. An improved carafe design increases heat retention, allowing you to set the carafe on a table or take it to a distant room without significant heat loss.
How does a built in coffee maker work?
The water is spread evenly over the coffee grounds to ensure a consistent brew every time, and brews the coffee in half the time of conventional coffee makers. A built-in pause-n-brew infrared sensor prevents overflows and allows you to remove the carafe or mug at any time, without the mess of dripping coffee collecting on the base.
