Coffee Maker - Programmable - 10 cup - Black

This stylish, 10-cup programmable coffee maker allows you to wake up to a carafe of freshly brewed coffee. Sensuous curves define a sleek, contemporary styling that will feel at home in any kitchen. The wrap-around housing minimizes heat loss from the 10 cup glass carafe while protecting it from accidental spills and breakage. The powerful 1100-watt heat pump brews hot, rich coffee, and a sophisticated electronic temperature control directly monitors the heat pump to brew, and keep, coffee at optimal temperatures. The flat-bottom brew basket holds a uniform depth of coffee for improved coffee flavour, and an extra-wide showerhead coaks the filter basket evenly with hot water, ensuring uniform coffee extraction and outstanding flavour. The water reservoir fills from the top, at the front of the housing, eliminating the awkward reach required for many coffee makers (it can also be filled from the back). The brew basket and reservoir are accessed by lifting the innovative split-lit, which maximizes the working space around cabinets. Dedicated one-touch buttons make operating the coffee maker simple; the control pad is sealed against spills and is easily wiped clean. An easy-to-set 24-hour timer brews coffee at any time, and a "time since brew" display allows you to determine freshness at a glance. A pause-and-pour feature allows you to conveniently pour a cup of coffee before brewing is finished, and a special 1-to-4 cup brew cycle thoroughly heats small quantities of water, ens
Customer Review: ERR 4
I bought this product because I loved many things about it. I was very dissapointed when after only 4 months it quit working with what KitchenAid called an internal error. They replaced it quickly and the new one quit working with the same error in only 3 days. I called again for a replacement and they are upgrading to a newer model.

Want to know a few secrets to making a good cup of campfire coffee? There are lots of recipes for making coffee in a plain pot over a campfire or for your camping coffee pot. Try a few varieties to see what suits your taste the best. Here are a few good recipes to get you started so your morning or evening brew tastes good every time.

Traditional Campfire Coffee Recipes

Recipe 1. Bring two quarts of water to a good, rolling boil in a camping coffee pot. Take it from the fire and add 2 handfuls of fine ground coffee. Keep in mind that whoever makes the coffee will change the results of this traditional recipe. Steep for 4 minutes. The secret to good campfire coffee is adding a few tablespoons of cold water to the mixture after steeping. This settles the grounds to the bottom. Then pour slowly to keep as many grounds out of your cup as possible.

Recipe 2. Add 6 teaspoons of ground coffee into a camping coffee pot, and pour 3 pints of cold water over the grounds. Put the pot on the fire and bring it to a boil. Take it off the heat and let steep for 3 minutes. Don't forget the secret. Add those few tablespoons of cold water to the mixture after steeping to settle the grounds. This makes about 6 cups of good campfire coffee.

Campfire Perculator Coffee Pot

Recipe 3. This is the most common method of making campfire coffee. Start with 1 tablespoons of coarsely ground coffee for each 6 oz of water when using a perculator coffee pot. Here is a trick if you end up with grounds in your coffee. Poke a hole in a regular coffee filter and put it in the perk basket. Watch the percolator for the coffee color. The longer it perks the stronger your coffee will be. A perculator coffee pot takes practice but they make great campfire coffee.

Good Tip

If you use unpleasant lake, well or tap water your coffee will never taste very good. Coffee is 98% water so using good water will make all of difference in good or bad coffee. Bring good water with you and you will enjoy your campfire coffee a lot more.
