Which is better for a household that drinks a lot of coffee?

The PerfecTemp 14-Cup. It brews 14 cups per pot versus 12 on the Grind & Brew Plus, and it costs $34.99 at eBay as of November 8, 2026, against $50.00.

Which one grinds whole beans?

Only the Coffee Center Grind & Brew Plus. The PerfecTemp takes pre-ground coffee and has no grinder.

Can either make a single cup?

The Grind & Brew Plus can, through its pod-style single-serve brewer. The PerfecTemp only brews into its carafe, though its 1–4 cup setting suits small batches.

Is the Grind & Brew Plus worth the extra $15?

Yes if you buy whole beans or want single-serve pods, since it replaces a grinder and a second brewer. If you only brew full pots of pre-ground coffee, the PerfecTemp does the job for less.

Which has the better water filter setup?

Both use a charcoal water filter. On the PerfecTemp the filter is not included and must be bought separately; the Grind & Brew Plus lists a water filter as included.

How much counter space does each need?

The PerfecTemp measures 7.75"L x 9"W x 14"H. The Grind & Brew Plus is 10.4"W x 10.1"D x 14.2"H, so it is wider and deeper.
