10 Best Capresso 12 Cup Drip Coffee Makers
for October 2023

The Capresso 487.05 Team Pro Plus coffee maker is the best coffee maker we tested, and it's one of the best coffee makers we've ever tested. It has one of the smoothest, most consistent brews of any coffee maker we tested, plus its carafe holds 12 cups, which is more than any other coffee maker we tested. The Team Pro Plus is fast: It takes just 2 minutes and 30 seconds to reach full brewing power. And it's quiet: When brewing, the Team Pro Plus is louder than the Cuisinart DCC-2500, but quieter than the Technivorm Moccamaster. It also brews hotter than most coffee makers we tested, which results in better flavor and stronger coffee. The Team Pro Plus has an optional bean container, which you can fill with whole coffee beans and grind just before brewing. This eliminates the need for messy paper filters, and it allows you to experiment with different brewing methods. The Team Pro Plus has a 12-cup glass carafe, which is large enough to store an entire pot, and it's dishwasher-safe. The Team Pro Plus has programmable settings for 6, 8, or 12 cups of coffee, which can be programmed to start brewing up to 24 hours before your scheduled time. The Team Pro Plus is easy to clean, and it has a detachable upper burr, which makes maintenance easy. The Team Pro Plus's carafe is insulated, so it keeps coffee hot for up to 4 hours. The only drawback is that the Team Pro Plus is large and bulky.

The Capresso 424.01 drip coffee maker is attractive and works well, but it's more expensive than some of the other models we considered. The 12-cup carafe is larger and takes up more room on a counter, and it's heavier than the carafes on our top picks. overall, the Capresso drip coffee maker is an excellent coffeemaker, but if you're looking to spend less money on a coffeemaker, our top pick is a better choice. The Capresso drip coffee maker is attractive and well-built, and it brews excellent coffee. It does have a couple of quirks, though. First, the drip stop doesn't work very well. The carafe doesn't automatically shut off, so you have to unplug the coffee maker and turn off the hot plate yourself. Secondly, the carafe gets very hot, so it's recommend you use a coaster when you set it down.

The Capresso 5-Cup Mini Drip Coffee Maker has a compact, compact design, so it's ideal for smaller kitchens or offices. It brews dark coffee with a rich, bold flavor, and it's easy to use. The coffeemaker is programmable, so you can set it to brew whenever you want, and the keep warm function will keep your coffee warm for 2 hours. The drip stop feature prevents the coffeemaker from dripping after you pour a cup. The gold-tone filter eliminates the need for messy paper filters. The drip-free auto shut-off feature prevents overflow and helps prevent water spots on countertops. The coffeemaker is easy to clean, and if you do happen to get coffee in the filter, it's easy to clean out. The carafe is removable and dishwasher safe. The dripper filters are sold separately, and you can order them online. The coffeemaker is made of plastic, but it's strong and durable, and it's made to last.

Capresso makes some of the most reliable coffeemakers on the market today, and this model is no exception. It's well built and crafted, and its water tank and carafe are both made of stainless steel. It's also easy to use, with an automatic brewing feature, adjustable brew time, and programmable start times for up to 12 hours off. It brews coffee at a consistent temperature, too, which is important for brewing good coffee. The Capresso 434.05 has a hot plate that keeps your coffee at the perfect brewing temperature, so your coffee will always be hot when you pour it. Unfortunately, it doesn't come with a measuring scoop, and the brew button is a little hard to find, but we otherwise like the Capresso 434.05's features.

The Capresso Glass Carafe is a good option if you're looking for a carafe with a removable lid, as you can use it with most drip coffee makers. The carafe has a fairly large capacity, and is large enough to accommodate a single pot (60 ounces) of coffee. It's also dishwasher-safe. But its biggest strength is its drip-resistant spout and handle, which make it a breeze to empty the carafe without the mess. The carafe is easy to clean, too: just rinse it with soap and water. The carafe comes with a lid, but it's a tight fit, so you may need to loosen the lid with a butter knife. The carafe also takes some getting used to, as it's much heavier and taller than our other top picks, and it's slightly taller and wider than the 12-cup carafe in our other pick. The carafe also isn't as tall or wide as the 12-cup carafe in our other pick. The carafe is also slightly heavier and taller than our other top picks, and it's slightly taller and wider than the 12-cup carafe in our other pick. The carafe also isn't as tall or wide as the 12-cup carafe in our other pick.

The Capresso 427.05 Coffee Maker is pleasingly compact, with a 12-cup glass carafe and a hot plate that stays on for 2 hours and then automatically turns off. The kettle has a 60-ounce capacity, and the machine has 12 programmable brew cycle options. It also has a manual brew option, which lets you brew a pot at any size (up to 16 cups). The carafe is big enough to fit 12 cups, but it's a bit shallow. The brew cycles take approximately 1 hour 45 minutes, which is on the longer side. The coffee is delicious, and the machine has enough power to handle most jobs. If it's your first time using a coffee maker, you'll likely need to spend a few minutes learning how to use the timer and adjust the brew time. The carafe also needs to fill with water before you start the brewing process, and it can be hard to pour enough water into the carafe without spilling. It's a good thing the carafe is big enough, though, because the machine will fill it up to the 12-cup line. The brew cycle indicator light beeps every 30 seconds, but it's easy to miss, so we recommend setting the timer to beep every 15 minutes. The carafe has a handle and comes with a saucer, so it's portable if you're taking it camping or on vacation. The carafe has a tight fitting lid, so it doesn't leak when it's sealed. The glass carafe isn't quite as attractive or as sturdy as the stainless steel carafe we tested, but it's much quieter, and it tends to stay much warmer. It's better that the glass carafe doesn't have the option to hold water, though, because it spigots water out way too slowly and makes it difficult to top off the reservoir with enough water.

With the Capresso CoffeeTEAM PRO Plus, you get all the features of the CoffeeTEAM PRO (which we previously recommended), plus a larger carafe that can hold up to 12 cups (60 ounces). The carafe is sturdy and the glass is sturdy, as well, so it's less likely to shatter if you're used to breaking carafes. The carafe is dishwasher-safe, which is nice. The carafe is heavy enough that it stands on its own without leaning on just about anything, so it's a good long-term investment. The handle is comfortable, and the spout is drip-resistant, so you'll avoid messy coffee drips. The carafe has a 12-cup capacity, which is plenty for a single coffee drinker or a small family. The CoffeeTEAM PRO Plus is also more affordable than the CoffeeTEAM Pro, so it's a great choice if you want a carafe with a larger capacity.

The Capresso 12-Cup Perk Coffee Maker brews an exceptional cup of joe in about one minute per cup. The coffee maker can brew four cups in about four minutes, and eight cups in about eight minutes.

The coffee maker's brewing process is fast, and the machine consistently produces strong, high-quality coffee.

The Capresso 12-Cup Coffee Maker ($189) offers a lot of choices, including programmable settings, a 12-cup glass carafe, a 10-cup glass carafe, and a 2-cup glass carafe. The carafes can all be used with the included filter basket, which is attached to the filter basket by magnets. The carafes all hold 12 cups, and the 2-cup carafe is perfect for single-serving coffee or brewing tea. The 12-cup carafe is large and dwarfed by larger machines we tested, and it can be difficult to find a storage space for it. The carafe also brews very slowly, taking about 4 minutes per cup. The 10-cup carafe is smaller and brews faster, but still takes much longer than the 12-cup carafe. Of all the machines we tested, the Capresso 12-Cup Coffee Maker brewed the best-tasting coffee, and it also had the best brewing time: 2 minutes 45 seconds for 12 cups, 1 minute for 10 cups, and 4 minutes for 2 cups. The carafes are warm to the touch, which we prefer over machines that stay cool. The carafes have foam protectors, and the machine also comes with a drip tray and a paper filter. The Capresso 12-Cup Coffee Maker is more expensive than most other machines we tested, and it's quite large, so if you're looking for a small, portable coffee maker, it's a better option than some of our other picks.
