How to choose
Capacity and carafes
Every pick here brews 12 cups, so capacity alone will not separate them. The Mr. Coffee, BLACK+DECKER, BELLA and Gourmia carafes hold 12 cups, and the OVENTE carafe holds 1.8 liters for 12 cups. Compare the carafe instead: drip-free spouts on the Mr Coffee and OVENTE, a basket that washes in a dishwasher on the BLACK+DECKER, and a reusable filter on the BELLA and OVENTE.
Programming and pause features
Programming lets you set a brew ahead of time: the Mr. Coffee, BLACK+DECKER and BELLA all program, with the BLACK+DECKER and BELLA reaching 24 hours ahead. Pause features let you pour before brewing ends: auto-pause on the Mr. Coffee, sneak-a-cup on the BLACK+DECKER, and pause and serve on the BELLA and Gourmia. Pick programming if mornings are rushed, and pause if you pour before the pot finishes.
Keep warm and shutoff
Keep warm holds coffee after brewing, and shutoff ends heating on its own. The Mr. Coffee warming plate shuts off after 2 hours, the BLACK+DECKER keeps warm for 2 hours at 154°F, and the BELLA shuts off after 2 hours. The Gourmia plate holds temperature until you turn the machine off. The OVENTE has auto shut-off. Check whether you want heat to end on its own or stay on until you switch it off.
