Turn your Capresso MT500 coffee maker into a coffee station with additional carafes. One of the benefits of a coffee maker with a stainless steel insulated thermal carafe is the ability to put a pot of brewed coffee at the table or on the counter. There is no need for a warming plate since the thermal insuslation keeps the heat in the carafe for hours. So brew a pot, remove it and brew a second pot, third pot or more. Great for company, offices large parties or any time when more coffee or different types of coffee is desired.
