How to choose
Single serve or carafe
Single-serve brewers make one cup at a time, while carafe brewers make a pot for several cups. The Keurig and the Mixpresso brew single cups, and the Horavie, the VEVOR and the BLACK+DECKER brew carafe batches. The Keurig brews 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12oz cup sizes, and the Mixpresso brews a 4 to 12oz cup. The Horavie brews 10 cups, and the VEVOR and the BLACK+DECKER each brew 12 cups. Pick the batch size that matches the cups brewed each morning.
Programmable brewing and strength
Programmable brewing sets a brew time in advance. The Horavie pre-sets a brew time 24 hours in advance, and the Mixpresso brews with programmable controls. Strength changes the cup: the Keurig offers a strong brew setting with strength and temperature control, and the Horavie offers regular and strong brew. The VEVOR adjusts strength to taste by the coffee grounds added, and the BLACK+DECKER brews in one switch with no other programming required.
Keep warm and cleanup
Keep-warm settings hold brewed coffee at temperature after brewing. The Horavie keeps coffee at temperature for 2 hours with auto shut off, the VEVOR keeps coffee hot on two warmer plates, and the BLACK+DECKER holds a hot cup after the cycle ends with its keep-warm function. For cleanup, the Keurig alerts when descaling is due, the VEVOR funnel detaches for cleaning, and the Mixpresso pod drawer washes under the tap. The Keurig drip tray also removes for cleanup.
