Carafe holds up to 1.5 litre. Like the sounds of a jug of coffee waiting for you first in the morning?. Simply fill the 1.5 litre water tank, add your ground coffee and select the setting you want. The machine also has an anti-drip function so it doesn’t waste a drop of precious coffee, powers off automatically after 40 minutes to save energy, and it even has a reusable permanent filter so there’s no need for those fiddly paper filters.
