I bought this item as the item highlights stated "Keep warm function. Like to make a batch of coffee to last you the morning? No need to worry, the keep warm function with a heated plate will keep your coffee at the perfect tempering just the way you like it." On opening, the manual states the keep warm function only operates for 40 mins, and if I'm not mistaken a morning is alot longer than 40 minutes. Very misleading wording, I'm taking the item back this evening.
