Perhaps waiting a little longer isn’t such a bad idea after all! Automatic Shut-Offīoil dry protection is crucial for the long term maintenance of your coffee maker. However, allow me to remind you that sneaking a cup mid-brew means you’ll be drinking under extracted coffee. The pause function allows you to remove the carafe while it’s still brewing and fill up your cup without hot coffee dripping all over the place.

Who has time for that?įortunately, with the pause and serve function you won’t have to do any waiting. That means plenty of coffee to go around, but it also means a lot of thumb twiddling while the coffee brews. I’m all for things that make my life easier! Pause and ServeĪs mentioned previously in my Nostalgia Coffee Maker review, this coffee pot makes up to twelve cups. You can remove the filter basket whenever you need to, and the reusable filter is relatively easy to clean. That said, if you want a cleaner extraction, you can use #4 paper filters with the Nostalgia. The Nostalgia Coffee Maker includes a reusable filter and filter basket, so you don’t have to rely on disposable paper filters. You won’t escape coffee filters and filter baskets if you use a drip coffee maker, but you can forget about paper filters with this coffee pot. As long as you don’t go above the max line, you won’t overfill this machine. The lid flips open easily, and you can use the markings on the side of the water tank to judge how much water you need to put in the tank.

If you’re someone who has to get up early for work and wants a steaming pot ready by the time you stumble downstairs, now you’ve got the option. The clock is programmable up to 24 hours, which is usually more time than most people need. I’ve mentioned that program function a few times, but how does it actually work? Some machines only let you brew coffee immediately, but this one allows you to schedule your brew in advance. It’s relatively beginner friendly, so if you’re not used to using drip machines, there shouldn’t be much of a learning curve either. As far as drip coffee machines go, operating this one isn’t exactly rocket science.

You won’t find LED displays on actual coffee pots from the 1950s, but I won’t complain about the simple user interface on this machine. Personally, I’m of the opinion that this machine looks great no matter the color!
