Our take on the Cooks 12-Cup Programmable Coffee Maker

The Cooks 12-Cup Programmable Coffee Maker is a basic drip machine with a 12-cup glass carafe, a programmable timer and a bold-strength setting. It brews through either paper filters or the included permanent mesh basket, and it stores its cord in the base. At $44.99 at JCPenney as of November 3, 2026, it sits at the only price recorded since October 31, 2026, so there is no cheaper point to wait for in its short history.
