Does it keep coffee hot?

Yes, through a warming plate under the glass carafe. Coffee held there more than about 30 to 60 minutes picks up a cooked, bitter taste.

Can I set it the night before?

Yes. The programmable timer lets you set a brew start time, so a full pot is ready when you wake up.

What does the brew strength selector do?

It slows the water flow so grounds steep longer, giving a stronger cup. It adds time to a full-pot brew.

Is the carafe dishwasher safe?

The glass carafe usually is; the lid and filter basket are typically hand-wash only. Check the manual before washing.

No. It is a drip brewer that takes pre-ground coffee, so you need a separate grinder for whole beans.

How many cups does it really make?

Twelve 5-ounce cups, which is about 60 ounces. In standard mugs that is closer to six to eight servings.

Our take on the 12 Cup Programmable Drip Coffee Maker with Touch Screen

This is a 12-cup drip coffee maker with a touchscreen control panel, programmable start time and a brew strength selector, finished in stainless steel. The touchscreen and strength setting put it a step above basic dial machines, but it lacks a thermal carafe, so brewed coffee sits on a hot plate and keeps cooking. It suits households or small offices that want a full pot ready at a set time and don't mind drinking it within the hour. Against rivals, it offers more controls than entry-level drip makers but fewer refinements than machines with thermal carafes or grind-and-brew systems.
