Elite Grind & Brew Coffee Maker
Freshness is key when it comes to rich, flavorful coffee-Coffee lovers know that whole coffee beans stay fresh approximately three times longer than pre-ground. Grinding coffee beans greatly increases the surface area that is exposed to oxygen, releasing their complex flavor compounds into the air, exposing the coffee to other odors floating around your kitchen, depleting the carbon dioxide that helps transport the flavors from the beans to your cup, and drying up the water-soluble oils that give your coffee its rich taste and smell.
The Kenmore Elite Grind and Brew Coffee Maker's built-in conical burr grinder grinds fresh, whole coffee beans straight from the air-tight bean hopper immediately before brewing to release their full array of flavors and aromas. Simple digital controls let you program the timer for automatic brewing, customize the strength of your brew to Mild, Medium or Strong to suit your personal taste, and select the amount to brew from 2 to 12 cups with no waste. The "Grind Off" feature lets you bypass the grinder to brew from pre-ground coffee as needed and the grind size selector has 10 options from "Fine" to "Coarse."
Burr Grinder with Grind Size Selector: Coffee lovers consider burr grinders the gold standard when it comes to uniformity and flavor, with a naturally energy-efficient and heat resistant design and higher-quality product compared to blade grinders.
Grind and Brew With No Waste: Choose 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, or 12 cups to freshly grind and prepare the exact amount of coffee you need; select the "grind off" feature to bypass the grinder and use pre-ground coffee. Fully Programmable Automatic Brewing: Use the simple digital controls to set a timer for automatic brewing and wake up to the delicious aroma of hot brewed coffee made from freshly ground beans.
Bean Hopper with 1/2 Lbs Capacity: Air-tight coffee bean hopper keeps up to one-half pound of coffee beans fresh, preserving their flavor and saving you valuable counter or cupboard space. Customize Your Cup: Brew coffee to suit your individual taste with Mild, Medium, or Strong options; Built-in charcoal water filter removes impurities and odors from tap water so you can enjoy your coffee's full flavor.
