The Coffee PLUS makes a rich flavorful coffee, has a drip-free carafe and loads of convenience features including a clean function. The Coffee PLUS™ Coffeemaker makes the grade as a great coffeemaker, but this unit is innovative and the addition of the hot water, definitely gives it consumer appeal. It's ideal for homes with both coffee and tea lovers, but would also be a hit with the rest of the family for instant oatmeal or soup noodles, teas and hot chocolate.
