Overview
A compact 5-cup drip coffee maker with a 0.8 quart glass carafe, 2-hour auto shutoff, pause-and-pour function and a removable filter basket, built by Amazon Basics in matte black.
This is a stripped-down machine aimed at people who want a small pot of coffee without extra electronics to fail. One limitation surfaced by a reviewer using a plug-in light timer: the power switch responds only to a direct press and won't start brewing on delayed power alone.
- 5 cup capacity, 0.8 quart glass carafe
- 2 hour automatic shutoff
- Auto-pause and pour mid-brew
- Removable filter basket
Who it's for
Someone making coffee for one or two people who wants simple, low-clutter brewing. Not the right pick for anyone planning to start it remotely through a timer or smart plug.
Pros and cons
- Brews quickly for a small pot
- Auto-pause lets you pour before brewing finishes
- Removable filter basket is easy to clean
- Compact enough for tight counters
- Power switch needs a direct press, so it won't start on a timer or delayed outlet
- No programmable start time
Performance notes
The machine brews with a straightforward power switch, filter basket and glass carafe, shutting off automatically after 2 hours and pausing mid-brew if the carafe is pulled for an early cup.
