How to choose
Choosing the best drip coffee maker with glass carafe
Start with carafe capacity: the BELLA and the Koolatron each brew 12 cups, the Café brews 10 cups, and the OAKJAR and the OXO each brew 8 cups. Match that number to how many cups you brew at once, and check the carafe material, since every pick here uses a glass carafe. A smaller batch setting or a single-serve accessory matters if you brew for one in the morning.
Programming and warming plates
A programmable brewer lets you set the brew ahead of time: the BELLA programs up to 24 hours ahead, the Koolatron sets the brew in advance with simple controls, and the Café auto brew feature has coffee ready when programmed. A warming plate keeps brewed coffee hot after brewing, and the Koolatron, the Café and the OXO each have one. The OXO warming plate keeps coffee hot with BetterBrew precision technology.
Filters and cleaning
Reusable filters cut paper waste: the BELLA has a reusable filter basket, the Koolatron has a washable gold-tone cone filter plus a charcoal water filter, and the Café has a reusable filter. The OXO uses paper filters and includes 5 #2 paper coffee filters and 5 commercial basket style large filters in the box. Rinse or replace the filter on the schedule the maker gives, and wipe the carafe after each brew.
