Hamilton Beach Eclectrics Intrigue Blue 12-Cup Coffeemaker 40113

Date Published: 6/8/06

From the Hamilton Beach Eclectrics collection, this 12-cup capacity coffeemaker features a heavy and durable all-metal exterior base with the added contemporary style and decorator appeal of its color-coated finish.

The 40113 comes in blue (other colors such as apple, licorice, and sea breeze are listed under different product numbers), stands 13-1/2 inches tall by 8 inches wide by 11 inches deep, and has stylish silver accents highlighting the control panel, which is located on the upper front portion of the base.

The one-piece water reservoir and brew basket cover offers top access to the removable brew basket (it uses No. 4 cone-shaped paper filters, which are not included) and allows for easy pouring of the desired amount of water (up to 12 cups) into the view-through rear reservoir. The reservoir is clearly marked in 2-cup intervals for easy measuring. Three small slits in the plastic at the maximum-fill line eliminate the risk of overfilling.

The 12-cup glass carafe features a specially designed drip-free spout, a thick and comfortable handle, and a top accent band--all of which match the color of the base.

Additional features of this model include the convenient "pause and serve" ability to sneak a cup before the brew cycle is complete, an advanced no-scorch bottom heater that automatically adjusts to maintain your coffee's just-brewed temperature, an accelerated brew cycle (approximately 1 minute per cup), a heavy-duty polarized plug, and a 2-hour automatic-shutoff.

The panel of the Hamilton Beach 40113 houses the on/off control button with a red indicator light and an easy-to-set 24-hour programmable clock/timer that allows freshly brewed coffee to be ready and waiting at your convenience.
