- Is 5 cups enough for two people?
- Yes. Five 5-ounce cups is about two large mugs, so it fits a couple's morning. A household of three or more will brew twice.
- Does it grind beans?
- No. It takes pre-ground coffee only. You would need a separate grinder or buy ground coffee.
- Can I set it the night before?
- Yes. The programmable timer lets you set brew time ahead, and it shuts off automatically afterward.
- Does it take paper filters?
- It uses standard basket-style paper filters. Check the size on the filter box against the brew basket.
- How does it compare with a 12-cup programmable brewer?
- It is smaller and simpler, with the same timer and auto shutoff but no thermal carafe or strength control on most versions. Choose it if you drink a pot or less a day.
- Where is the Mr. Coffee 5c Programmable Drip Maker cheapest?
- At Target, for $24.99, as of our latest check.
