About this item - Two Brewing Modes: Extract Mode for direct brewing coffee or tea with 6 strength levels (no temperature settings needed), and Heating Mode to prepare hot water at preset temperatures (4 options, no strength settings required). Versatile for all your beverage needs. - Innovative Steam Brewing: Unlike traditional makers, this uses steam to evenly spray coffee or tea powder, extracting flavors before gently dripping into water. The steam extraction basket keeps grounds separate from water, preserving rich taste and nutrients. - 6 Brew Strength Selection: Choose from light to extra bold with a simple knob turn. Just add coffee/tea to infuser, water to outer pot, select strength without adjusting temperature, and press start. - 4 Temperature Presets: Heat water precisely to 175°F (green tea), 185°F (herbal tea), 200°F (coffee), or 212°F (black tea/boiling). Select desired temperature without strength settings and press start. - Keep Warm Function: Automatic 2-hour keep warm at 158°F after brewing. For extended warmth, manually keep warm up to 8 hours. - Safety & Convenience: Boil dry protection ensures safety. Large capacity of 1.5L/1.6QT perfect for family use.
