CUISINART INTRODUCES THEIR FIRST EVER
14-CUP COFFEEMAKER!

Toronto, ON — Cuisinart, a leading producer of culinary appliances and professional quality cookware, will introduce a new coffeemaker to their wide coffee assortment in February 2006. The new Cuisinart Brew Central® 14-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker is the first ever Cuisinart coffeemaker that can brew 14-cups of hot and flavourful coffee per pot!

With smooth curves and an elegant brushed stainless steel design, this Brew Central® 14-Cup Coffeemaker will look dynamite in any kitchen. Whether the kitchen accents are black or steel, it will fit into the décor.

“Coffee is one of the most popular beverages for Canadians”, says Michael Santucci, Product Manager for Cuisinart Canada. “Cuisinart coffeemakers pride themselves on brewing coffee that tastes hot, fresh and flavourful. A cup of coffee that tastes so good that you want more. Which is why we have made our carafes larger.”

The new Brew Central® 14-Cup Coffeemaker is simple to use. Simply select the number of cups you wish to brew, pour the water into the water reservoir and place your coffee filter and grounds in the basket. Turn the unit on. The coffee will automatically brew into the 14-cup glass carafe.

With 24-hour programmable capabilities, 1-4 cup option and programmable auto shut-off, this coffeemaker will make your coffee the way you like it, and when you want it.

To make sure that the coffee tastes as pure as possible, this coffeemaker comes with a charcoal water filter that should be replaced after 60 pots of coffee. This filter removes the impurities in the water prior to brewing.

This coffeemaker comes with a gold tone filter and a starter paper kit. No matter you preference, you have all the tools to make your first cup... except the water and coffee, of course.

All removable parts are easy to clean and dishwasher safe. And like other Cuisinart Coffeemakers, the Brew Central® 14-Cup Coffeemaker is backed with a 3-year warranty.
