Overview
A basic 10-cup drip coffee maker with a glass carafe and one on/off button. It plugs into any Alexa, Google, or Siri compatible smart plug for voice control, since it has no built-in smart features of its own.
This is an old-school analog drip machine, not a WiFi appliance itself; any smart-home control comes from adding a separate smart plug. Auto Pause & Pour lets you pull a cup mid-brew without waiting for the full pot. There's no auto shut-off, and that's the one gap several long-term owners flag after years of daily use.
- Brews up to 10 cups
- Borosilicate glass carafe
- Compatible with Alexa/Google/Siri smart plugs (sold separately)
- Illuminated on/off switch
Who it's for
Buyers who want a low-cost, no-frills coffee maker and don't mind switching it off by hand. Not the choice for anyone who wants built-in app or voice control without adding a separate smart plug.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Long-term owners call it a simple, reliable machine that still works after years of daily use, and it pairs well with smart-plug voice routines. The most common complaint is the missing auto shut-off; one owner needed a phone timer as a workaround, and another reports the maker failed after about 4.5 months. A few also mention water pooling around the basket during brewing, which one reviewer traced to how the basket seals against the carafe rather than a true leak.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Simple one-button operation
- Auto Pause & Pour for mid-brew cups
- Dishwasher-safe carafe and basket
- Works with existing smart plugs
- No built-in auto shut-off
- No native WiFi or app control
- Power light hard to see from front
Performance notes
The one-button switch starts the brew cycle, and Auto Pause & Pour halts the flow whenever the carafe is lifted so you can pour a cup mid-brew. The glass carafe and lift-out brew basket are both dishwasher safe. Because there's no timer or shutoff, the on/off indicator light on the side is the only cue that it's still running.
