How to choose
Carafe size first
Carafe size decides how much coffee one brew makes. The Mueller, the Taylor Swoden and the Cuisinart each brew 12 cups, while the Horavie brews 10 cups. The Horavie brews 10 cups for daily home use, parties and office gatherings, and the Taylor Swoden brews 12 cups for family breakfasts and office meetings. The Cuisinart fills its 12 cups from a 62-ounce removable water reservoir without moving the machine from under cabinets.
Programmable brewing and strength
Programmable brewing sets a brew time in advance. The Taylor Swoden sets a schedule 24 hours in advance, the Horavie pre-sets a brew time 24 hours in advance, and the Cuisinart brews on a 24-hour programmable schedule. Brew strength changes the cup: the Taylor Swoden offers 4 brew strengths, mild, medium, bold and iced, and the Horavie offers regular and strong brew. The Cuisinart also brews hot, iced, regular and strong. Pick a strength range that matches the drinks brewed most.
Keep warm and cleanup
Keep-warm settings hold brewed coffee at temperature after brewing. The Mueller warming plate turns off after 2 hours, the Taylor Swoden keeps coffee hot for up to 2 hours with auto-shutoff, and the Horavie keeps coffee at temperature for 2 hours with auto shut off. The Cuisinart adjusts keep-warm settings from 0 to 4 hours.
