| To achieve a spectacular cup of coffee there are essential steps that need to be taken. The water must be free of chlorine taste (hence the charcoal filter) the machine must be able to brew larger or smaller amounts successfully (this one "knows" to disperse hot water more slowly when the coffee ground amount is less). The coffee must be very hot (right around 192 Degrees F like the brew from the MT500) and kept fresh as in a double walled stainless steel carafe with a one way valve that keeps flavor and aroma in the coffee. Now it doesn t hurt if the machine itself is gorgeous either or that it can output 10 cups of coffee in 8 minutes. Oh and one more thing: this is the only coffee maker in its class that has a stainless steel boiler so your coffee doesn t ever come in contact with aluminum. Normally this type of construction and a 1200 watt heating element are found only on commercial grade appliances.Model MT500 10" W x 10" D x 14" H Unique metal alloy body specially treated to maintain luster over time 50 Oz.
