From The Manufacturer

Whether you’re getting breakfast ready for the family or pouring yourself a cup, the Hamilton Beach programmable 12 cup Coffee maker & hot water dispenser can help you streamline the morning rush. That’s because it’s two appliances in one – a 12 cup Coffee maker and a hot water dispenser. Separate water reservoirs means the two sides operate independently of each other, so you can brew a pot of Coffee while using the one-hand hot water dispenser to make tea, cocoa or instant cereals. Both sides can be programmed up to 24 hours in advance, and the 2-hour automatic shutoff makes for one less thing to worry about as you’re heading out the door
