What better company to go to when you want to source a thermal carafe coffee maker then the very company that invented the stainless steel vacuum bottle.

Zojirushi is the name and the coffee maker is their Fresh Brew 10 cup coffee maker. It's a really nice design that brews up to 10 cups (50 oz.) of coffee in less than 9 minutes.

Has an electronic clock timer with push button preset functions that is remarkably simply to use. You can program to make coffee up to 24 hours in advance with this timer feature. Your coffee brews directly into the 50 oz stainless steel vacuum thermal carafe, that then keeps your coffee hot for hours without any need for a flavor robbing hotplate.

NO MORE COOKING YOUR COFFEE AFTER YOU MAKE IT!

The design makes for easy cleaning, and it uses a #4 cone filter.

One other popular feature it has is "pause and serve" which allows you the option to grab a quick cup while the coffee is brewing.

The coffee maker has a small footprint: 10 inches wide by 7 inches deep. But it does stand 15 1/2 inches tall, and needs an extra 6 inches of vertical clearance to be able to fill the water reservior at the top.

It uses a red ball floating water level indicator that along with the LED clock, is both easily read from across the room.

Made of hard black plastic with brushed stainless steel trim. It all adds up to one great looking coffee maker.
