- Does it have a programmable timer?
- No. It is a manual brewer with simple controls, so you start each pot by hand. If you want coffee ready at wake-up, look for a programmable model.
- Is the carafe glass or thermal?
- It uses a glass carafe, so brewed coffee cools over time and the carafe can break if knocked. A thermal carafe keeps coffee hot longer but costs more.
- How many cups does it actually make?
- It is rated at 12 cups, which is the standard small-cup measure used on drip brewers. In mugs, expect roughly eight to ten servings.
- Does it work with an app or smart assistant?
- No. There is no app control, Wi-Fi or smart-home support. Everything is done from the machine itself.
- Does it take paper filters?
- It uses standard basket-style paper filters. Check the filter basket size before buying a box, since cone filters will not fit.
- Is it good for one or two people?
- It can brew smaller batches, but a 12-cup machine is sized for households. For one or two daily cups, a 4- to 5-cup brewer wastes less counter space.
- Where is the Thyme & Table Drip Coffee Maker 12-Cup cheapest?
- At Walmart, for $84.97, as of our latest check.
