glass coffee makers

Glass coffee makers are sold as either manual (non-electric) devices — for example, presses and pour-over brewers — or as electric machines powered by mains electricity. Product data labels items as “Manual” or “Electric.”

Common features include programmable timers and 24-hour delay, auto pause-and-pour, brew-strength settings, removable water reservoirs, milk frothers or steam wands, cool-touch (stay-cool) handles, and warming plates on some drip machines.

Reported wattages for electric glass coffee makers in the data range from about 650 watts up to roughly 1,100 watts.

Listings show protective details such as cool-touch or stay-cool handles, removable cork or cork cuffs, and nonstick warming plates on some drip models to help keep the carafe and handling surfaces safer to touch.

Capacities range from single-serve/small units (about 10 fl oz) up to larger carafes around 60 fl oz (about 1.5 L). Common cup counts shown are 4, 5, 8 and 12 cups.

Common filter types include permanent mesh or stainless-steel filters, basket/flat (disc) filters, single-use paper filters, and some units that include reusable filters.
