Krups Thermal Coffee Maker - Programmable 10 Cup

Q: Does this coffee maker have a brew pause feature? Also, can you make one to four cups , and if so, does it have a one to four cup setting?

A: The Krups Thermal Coffee Maker does have a "Pause & Serve" feature. You can remove the carafe during the brew cycles to pour an early cup. Keep in mind that this will change the taste you would normally get from a full pot in a complete cycle. Be sure to replace the carafe quickly (less than 20 seconds) to avoid overflow during the brew cycle. For models with thermal carafe : to ensure maximum heat retention, rinse the thermal carafe with hot water before use, and close the lid by turning clockwise. The Krups Thermal Coffee Maker also has an "Aroma" feature. This function is designed specifically for small batches, normally less than 6 cups, where brew cycles become too short to properly extract the coffee taste from the coffee ground. To activate press the Aroma button (q), then press On. Note : this function cannot be changed once the brew cycle has started. The function can also be used for full pots but will cause more of the bitter flavors to be extracted in that case. Krups recommends only using Aroma Control for small batches less than 6 cups.
