Years ago I signed up for Gevalia Coffee Club to get their 12 cup coffee maker with auto brew and pause and pour feature because it was pretty and looked expensive but wasn't. I have used it at home and also brought it to my 'Juice Bar' business that I owned for 1 year. (location was bad) This coffee maker has lasted a lot longer than I expected. I drink coffee every morning and afternoon. I brew tea with it, make hot water with it for hot chocolate. One thing I did wrong...I forgot to flush clean it occasionally. I remembered when it began brewing realllllllllyyyyyyy slowwwwww and making serious...
