Your morning coffee doesn’t need to come with coffee-shop prices or a complicated machine. Target has dropped the Mr. Coffee 12-Cup Programmable Coffee Maker from $35 to $20, saving you $15 on a straightforward drip coffee maker that keeps a fresh pot ready when you wake up.
You can schedule brewing ahead of time, pour a cup before the full pot finishes, and rely on an automatic shutoff after two hours. With a 12-cup capacity, it also makes enough coffee for a household, home office, or anyone who expects to return for another cup later.
Why Choose This Coffee Maker?
The Brew Later feature is one of the best things this coffee maker offers. It lets you set everything up before bed, choose when you want brewing to begin, and the machine can start making coffee automatically in the morning. That removes one task from the routine when you’re still waking up.
It also has a Grab-a-Cup Auto Pause feature that temporarily stops the brewing cycle when you remove the carafe. You can then pour an early cup and return the carafe to let the rest of the pot finish.
The machine can brew up to 12 cups, with Mr. Coffee measuring each cup at 5 fluid ounces for a total water capacity of 60 ounces. You don’t have to make a full pot every time, but the extra capacity is useful when several people want coffee or when you plan to have more than one serving.
A visible water window shows how much water you’ve added to the reservoir. That makes it easier to fill the machine to the amount you need without guessing or accidentally adding too much.
Both the basket and glass carafe are dishwasher-safe, reducing the amount of handwashing needed after you’re finished. Plus, it has a two-hour automatic shutoff, which can be useful if you leave the house and can’t remember whether you turned the coffee maker off.
At $20, the Mr. Coffee 12-Cup Programmable Coffee Maker is an easy buy for coffee lovers. If you mainly want a large pot of drip coffee ready on schedule with minimal fuss, this Target deal gets the job done for twenty bucks.
