The water reservoir is the same size, too, at 60 ounce . One of my favorite things about Cuisinart coffee makers is how varied their brew capacities are. That makes all the difference when you average 7 cups of coffee a day with a 6 cup capacity glass carafe.
Features like fresh grind capabilities and single brew functions are also available in many coffee makers. Coffee maker sizes include single-serve and up to 8, 10, 12, or 14 cups. Plus, popular combination grinders and coffee makers, like theBurr Grind & Brew™ 12-Cup Coffee maker, finely grind beans right before brewing for a fresher Keurig K-Mini taste. As with many automatic coffee makers, the drip brewer side of the Cuisinart uses up all the water each time it brews. However, there’s a handy easy-view water window that will help you accurately measure. Oh, and there’s also a charcoal water filter inside to ensure the water you use doesn’t have any off-putting flavors.
A good quality thermal carafe can keep liquid hot for hours. This Cuisinart DGB coffee maker is one of the more ideal 12 cup options for those who want to save space. It has grind and brew capabilities that make coffee brew workflows simple. With Cuisinart Coffee the touch of a button, you can make 4 cup batches or maximize the 12 cup carafe by filling it to the brim. If you want one cup of coffee one day and a whole carafe the next, this is one of the coffee makers on this list that make sense for you.
Since it is a thermal carafe, there’s no need for a hot plate. You should still be able to pour a great cup of hot coffee long after the brew cycle is completed. The downside is that it’s a bit smaller than the glass carafe, holding only about ten cups of joe at a time. Cuisinart coffee makers make good coffee on demand for their price-points. However, as with all things, they have features that correspond with their prices.
Still, I missed the depth and complexity I’m used to when brewing the freshly ground coffee beans from Nicaragua in a Chemex. The Coffee Center also has a couple of features to conserve energy. There’s an auto off feature on the drip brew side that’s adjustable. This Keurig K-Mini lets you decide when the coffee maker will shut off and can be set for up to four hours after the brew cycle is finished. By the way, if you can’t wait for the brew to finish and you need your morningcup of joe, the machine is equipped with Brew Pause Technology.
