- Does it use K-Cups or pods?
- No. It is a drip brewer that takes ground coffee in its own filter basket, so you scoop and brew rather than drop in a pod.
- How many cups does it really make?
- The listing rates it at 8 cups, but in single-serve terms that is small cup measures. Expect one large mug or a few small cups per fill.
- Does it have an auto shutoff or timer?
- No. It is a manual brewer with a simple on/off switch, so you turn it off yourself after brewing.
- Can I brew into a travel mug?
- Yes, it brews directly into a cup or mug placed under the spout. Check that your mug fits the clearance under the brew head.
- Is it good for a household of several coffee drinkers?
- Not really. It brews one serving at a time with no carafe, so a multi-cup drip machine suits a family better.
- What do I need to clean it?
- The filter basket and cup rest lift out for rinsing. Run a vinegar-and-water cycle occasionally to clear mineral buildup.
- Where is the Brentwood Single Serve Coffee Maker 8 Cups cheapest?
- At Belk, for $63.00, as of our latest check.
