The Zojirushi Dome Brew Programmable Coffee Maker brews up to 12 cups of hot coffee or eight cups of iced coffee. Micro-computerized brewing controls bloom time for grounds and brew speed for the best-tasting coffee. Separate settings for 1-4 cup hot coffee and iced coffee brewing cycles. The Dome Brew Programmable heats water to 200F for optimal flavor extraction. The Taste Tuner customizes brew strength, and the Shower Dome disperses water evenly for uniform saturation of grounds and consistent brew. When brewing for iced coffee, use the separate set of fill lines for the best flavor. The warming plate keeps the glass carafe warm. Shower Dome is removable for ease of cleaning.
