Taylor Swoden Programmable 12-Cup Coffee Maker

Verdict

Taylor Swoden offers strong extraction and useful features like bold mode and self-clean, but it brews a bit slowly and has a messy carafe, so it is best for users who care more about cup strength than about fast, spill-free serving.

Pros

  • Brewing performance & consistency 1 review 4.0
    Taylor Swoden delivers above average extraction with a showerhead design that helps it reach the high six twenties on TDS strength, placing it among the stronger mid priced brewers.

Cons

  • Speed & time-to-cup 1 review 2.5
    Its brew times are slightly slower than average, taking just over eight minutes for a pot despite a mid range wattage heater.
  • Cup, tray & carafe handling 1 review 1.5
    A narrow fill opening and messy fast pours make the carafe and water handling less user friendly than many competitors.
