If you’re making a large amount of coffee but don’t want to wait for the entire pot to fill up, you can use the pause and pour function to serve yourself a cup of coffee before waiting for the rest to brew. The reusable filter has a built-in level marker which shows you how much ground coffee to put in the filter depending on how many cups of coffee you want to brew. Inside the coffee maker, you’ll need to add your ground coffee but this KitchenAid machine does come with a reusable filter which is also dishwasher safe. You can also choose from two different temperature settings on the warming plate.
Once the coffee has finished brewing, a warming plate will maintain the temperature for up to 40 minutes. You can set this coffee maker up to brew coffee to your taste using the 24-hour timer setting.

The shower head has 29 holes that allow the water to flow onto the ground coffee below it more gently, a process designed to extract the full flavor from the coffee. The KitchenAid Classic 5KCM1208 has a shower head that releases water onto the ground coffee to start the brewing process, rather than a basic pour function like most drip filter machines have. This coffee maker features KitchenAid’s signature retro design and it’s available in a range of colors including gray, black, and white.
This machine is so big, we couldn’t fit in under our wall-mounted cabinets so factoring in where you would keep it will be important. One of the main things to note about the KitchenAid Classic 5KCM1208, however, is how big it is. Many drip filter coffee makers don’t have removable tanks so we were pleased to find the KitchenAid did. A handle is attached to the water reservoir which makes the filling up process much easier so that you don’t have to struggle to lift the tank away from the machine.
The water tank is positioned at the back of the machine and can be removed so you can top it up. This coffee maker has a 57 fl oz / 1.7-liter capacity, which the brand states means it can hold 12 cups of coffee at full capacity, although we found it was slightly less in our tests. This makes it good value for money when you compare it to the Smeg Drip Filter Coffee Maker, which is available for $199.95 / £179 / AU$305.67, even though KitchenAid appliances often are positioned at the more expensive end of the market.
