When it is time for you to buy a new coffee maker you may be surprised at all of the features that you will find available on the various models. There are lots of bells and whistles that you will need to decide whether to pay extra to get but there are also many features that are standard on all machines.

Here are some of the features that you are likely to come across in your research and comparison. Choose which ones are important for you.

Think about where you will put your new coffee maker and make sure that you will have enough room for it. Measure the space between your upper cabinets and counter, the width of space available on your counter, and the depth of your counter. Countertop models are the most popular but you may prefer one of the space-saving under-cabinet units. Also consider where the controls are to be sure that you can easily access them especially if you are tight on counter space.

Pause and Serve is a popular feature and is likely to be included with any machine you buy today but is also a feature you might NOT want to use. The benefit to this feature is that it allows you to pour a cup before the brewing cycle has finished without making a mess all over everything. The problem is that the coffee at the beginning of the brew cycle is not as strong or as hot as it is at the end of the cycle so you get substandard coffee because you are not willing to wait.

One very useful feature for many people is the programmable timer. If you “need” that morning cuppa to get you going or you feel you cannot even begin to function until you’ve had your first cup, then an automatic “On” switch is exactly what you will want. If you are so rushed in the morning that you sometimes forget to turn your coffee maker off, then the automatic timed “Off” feature is something you would likely want to get.

It is easy to spend more and get more features than you really want or need since coffee makers come in all shapes and sizes. Think about what you really want, what you really would like and what you really don’t want to pay for. Take the time to do some research and reflecting. These tips have been a way to get you started thinking about what it is you really would like to have in a coffee maker.
