With all the features you'd expect from a stainless steel thermal coffee maker, this very stylish brewer would be a great addition to your kitchen. It has a clock timer, brew and serve lid design, auto shut-off, and boasts a very large capacity 10-cup carafe. s for flavor, the Fresh Brew makes excellent coffee and the carafe kept it reasonably hot for at least three hours in the thermal carafe - that's impressive. There's no loss of flavor and it is not reduced to a concentrate, since there's no warming plate and the liquid does not evaporate (with small lid on). Though you cannot see how much coffee is left in the thermal carafe, it's super convenient to take coffee out to the patio, car and boat (not spillproof) or to serve at the table.
