Proctor Silex 10-Cup Coffee Maker

Verdict

A very cheap drip maker that brews drinkable but noticeably weak coffee and makes a mess when you pour quickly, so it mainly suits buyers who care more about upfront price than performance or cleanliness.

Cons

  • Speed & time-to-cup 1 review 3.0
    Brew speed is fairly typical for a budget brewer, taking around seven and a half minutes to make a full pot with a mid range heat output.
  • Brewing performance & consistency 1 review 2.0
    Brewing performance is adequate but extraction lands in the low six hundreds on TDS tests, yielding a noticeably weaker cup than higher scoring drip machines and placing it near the bottom of side-by-side strength comparisons.
  • Cup, tray & carafe handling 1 review 1.5
    The carafe tends to splash and drip when poured quickly, so careful, slower pouring is needed to avoid making a mess.
