Front-access design makes the machine's filter and water tank opening readily available without having to maneuver it for preparation and cleaning, with the "Gold-Tone" permanent filter providing consistent-quality coffee for up to a year of regular use. A water level indicator is included on the front of the unit for accurate measurement up to the 12-cup/60-ounce limit, with a "Pause And Serve" function allowing for mid-brew cups to be taken from larger pots. While featuring a standard 24-hour clock function, the DCF2212T also includes a programmable digital timer that can be set to delay the start time of a pot for time-saving convenience. For users with time to spare, the device's "Aroma Button" can be pressed for optimal brewing quality that time-releases small amounts of temperature-specific water, saturating fewer grounds at a time for the best possible taste.
