- Does the TriStar CM-1252 grind beans?
- No. It has no integrated grinder, so you need pre-ground coffee. It comes with a reusable filter, and paper filters also fit.
- Can I set it the night before?
- Yes. The programmable timer lets you set a brew time, and the machine shuts off automatically afterward.
- How many cups does it make?
- Up to 12 cups, about 0.33 gallons, in the included glass carafe.
- Can I pour a cup while it is brewing?
- Yes. The drip stop pauses the flow so you can pull the carafe out mid-brew.
- Does it have a milk frother?
- No. It brews black filter coffee only; there is no frother or espresso function.
- What happens if the water tank runs dry?
- Empty-tank detection stops the brew cycle so the heating element is not run without water.
- Where is the TriStar CM-1252 Coffee Maker Drip cheapest?
- At Tiny Lux, for $46.67, as of our latest check.
