Batch brewing · review
Twenty-five ounces — two standard twelve-ounce cups — with delayed brewing, auto pause and a reusable filter.
Where we land on it A programmable five-cup machine that costs more than a programmable twelve-cup on this same shelf, for twenty-five ounces against sixty. The reason to buy it is counter space, and that is the only reason.
At least six of the twelve listings here say “cups” and leave it. Two define a cup as five ounces. This one skips the word entirely and says two twelve-ounce mugs.
That is the figure a buyer is actually asking for, and it is the best thing on this page.
A programmable twelve-cup machine from the same maker, with a strong brew mode and sixty ounces of water, sits lower on this shelf by price. Unless the counter is the constraint, this one is hard to argue for — and the listing does not try.
Read on the day this page was built: $48 at the American Amazon shop.

Nothing in either listing explains it, and this page will not invent a reason. The 12-cup Mr. Coffee on this shelf publishes 60 ounces, programmable brewing, a strong brew mode and a larger showerhead, and was read at a lower price. If counter space is not the constraint, that is the better buy from the same maker.
The maker answers it directly: two standard 12-ounce cups. That is the most honest capacity statement on this shelf, because it converts the number into mugs instead of into nominal five-ounce "cups".
The listing publishes a two-hour auto shut-off and does not describe the plate itself. Four machines on this shelf give the same two-hour figure; the Ninja gives four and the Cuisinart lets you choose.
These coffee machines share the category and the price bracket. Only what each one states is shown; an incomplete column would mislead.
