- Does it grind beans?
- No. It takes pre-ground coffee, so you need a separate grinder if you buy whole beans.
- How many cups does it make?
- Five small cups, roughly the size of a standard mug each. It is best for one or two people.
- Can I set it to brew before I wake up?
- Yes. The programmable timer lets you set a start time, and it keeps the pot warm afterward.
- Does it need paper filters?
- Yes, it uses basket-style paper filters. Check the size before buying a box.
- Is it good for a family?
- Not really. Five cups runs out fast with more than two drinkers, and there is no larger carafe option.
- How does it compare with a Bonavita or Cuisinart?
- It adds programmability at the low end, but those brands have longer track records for brew temperature and durability.
- Where is the COWSAR 5-Cup Programmable Residential Pour Over Coffee Maker cheapest?
- At Lowe's, for $22.99, as of our latest check.
