Does it come with a paper filter or do I need to buy them?

It includes a permanent gold-tone filter plus a starter pack of #4 paper filters. You can brew with the gold-tone filter alone; paper is optional and gives a slightly cleaner cup.

Can I brew just one or two cups?

Yes. The 1–4 cup setting adjusts the brew cycle for small batches so the coffee is not weak or over-extracted.

How long does it keep coffee warm?

The heater plate stays on until auto-off, which you can set from 0 to 4 hours. Low, medium and high settings control the holding temperature.

Is the carafe dishwasher safe?

The glass carafe and removable parts are dishwasher safe on the top rack. Hand washing the carafe is gentler and reduces the risk of chips.

How does it compare with the Moccamaster?

The Moccamaster brews hotter and faster and has a thermal carafe, but no timer. The Brew Central adds programmability and an adjustable warming plate at a lower cost per cup.
