5-Cup Programmable Coffee Maker

I have a small (5 cup capacity, in reality 1.5 16 oz tumbler) Mr. Coffee with a timer. I set my coffee up at night and it starts brewing at the same time my feet hit the floor (or the dog and cat make sure I get up to feed them). It’s just enough to sip while I get ready and last me through my morning drive to wherever. I buy flavored coffee from a roaster and an 8 oz bag that lasts three to four weeks costs about the same as two medium Starbucks (vente? Grande?). Since I brew it at home, I’m also buying fewer breakfast pastries and sandwiches (now I toast my own bagels or throw together an egg and cheese sandwich). It really has made a difference.

I love my very handy Mr. Coffee Programmable 5‑Cup Coffee Maker.

I've used the same standard Mr coffee with a reusable filter for like 11 years. It does technically have a schedule function

For 2026, stick with reliable drip machines like the Cuisinart PerfecTemp or Mr. Coffee programmable models. They're easy to clean, consistent, and cheap to maintain 👌

The only thing to worry about the Mr coffee maker is that the hot plate gets way too hot after brewing and will burn your coffee. Turn it off the moment its done brewing and if it gets cold just microwave it
