I have a similar model that has a stainless steel carafe and thus no heating pad. The carafe keeps the coffee hot for at least an hour. Heating pads damage the taste of coffee IMO.  https://www.kohls.com/product/prd-3514337/bunn-csb3t-speed-brew-platinum-thermal-10-cup-coffee-maker.jsp These machines are super efficient. They keep a hot water tank so there is no need to heat up water. Just pour in the amount you need for your grounds and it will displace the appropriate amount of hot water to pour over the grounds.

Its up to 10 cups. There's only two of us in my house. I usually make about 600 to 700 ml. I use the same ratios and grind size as my pour over and it comes out fantastic.

I’ve had my speed brew platinum for years and it’s been great. I’ve had to descale it a few times due to my hard water but outside of that it’s been amazing.

Yup. Pourovers are done at home, but I have a Bunn BTX at the office. I still need a scale to weigh my beans and grinder to grind fresh though.

Bunn Rapid Brew, most reliable, consistent and brews a 2 to 10 cups quickly.

I started with an inexpensive Mr Coffee machine, just in case I wasn't going to be a coffee-lovin' exmo. 😆 I graduated to a Bunn Speed Brew coffeemaker with an internal reservoir and love it! I also have a subscription to Lifeboost coffee. It is low acid and easier on my digestive system.
