- Does it grind beans?
- No. It is a drip brewer only, so use pre-ground coffee or grind separately.
- Can I set it to brew before I wake up?
- Yes. The programmable timer lets you set a brew time in advance.
- Does it come with a reusable filter?
- It uses standard basket-style paper filters; check the box contents for whether a permanent filter is included.
- How many cups does it make?
- Five small cups, roughly two large mugs. That suits one or two drinkers, not a family.
- Is the carafe glass or thermal?
- It is a glass carafe on a warming plate, not a thermal carafe, so drink within the first hour for the best taste.
- Is it worth it over a 12-cup brewer?
- If you brew a pot or two a day for one or two people, the smaller size and timer make it a sensible pick; larger households will waste coffee.
- Where is the COWSAR 5-Cup Programmable Residential Drip Coffee Maker cheapest?
- At Lowe's, for $29.99, as of our latest check.
