How to pick between these
- If you want the lowest maker store price with a thermal carafe → the BLACK+DECKER CM2046S, Hamilton Beach 46899R or KRUPS Savoy thermal, all under $100.
- If you want SCA certification → the OXO 8-Cup, the Moccamaster KBT or the Breville Luxe Brewer Thermal.
- If you also want single cups → the OXO 8-Cup or the Breville Luxe Brewer Thermal, which both brew a cup or a carafe.
- If you want to wake up to coffee → one with a stated timer: BLACK+DECKER, Hamilton Beach or Breville.
What to check on a thermal carafe machine
- Ounces, not cups. Makers count cups differently. Moccamaster states 40 oz for the KBT's 10 cups, so it makes about three 12 oz mugs. Check the ounces on the maker page before you compare a 10-cup and a 12-cup machine.
- No warming plate to time out. A thermal carafe holds the heat itself; Hamilton Beach says the 46899R carafe "needs no hot plate", and Breville says the Luxe Brewer Thermal's dual-wall thermal carafe "keeps your brew hotter for longer (up to 4 hours)". A glass carafe depends on a plate that switches off after a set time.
- Timer. Three of the six state a programmable timer (BLACK+DECKER, Hamilton Beach and Breville); the KRUPS Savoy says programmable in its product name. OXO and Moccamaster don't mention one on these pages, so don't count on waking up to coffee with them.
- Single cups and half pots. Only the OXO 8-Cup and the Breville Luxe Brewer Thermal also brew a single cup. The Moccamaster KBT's manual drip-stop lets you control the flow for a smaller pot; the others brew into the carafe only.
