How many cups does it make?

Eight cups at full capacity, and it works fine with four to six cups for smaller batches.

No. The pot is not dishwasher safe; wash the carafe, basket and stem by hand.

Is $23.99 a good price?

Yes. At $23.99 at The Home Depot as of November 6, 2026, it is at the low end of its recent range across the 7 stores listing it new.

Does it have a timer or programmable start?
