Horavie 10-Cup Programmable Coffee Maker Review

Intro

The Horavie 10 Cup Programmable Drip Coffee Maker (model CM1429BA-UL) is a no-frills, feature-forward drip machine aimed at home and small office users. The listing emphasizes programmability (24-hour preset), an adjustable brew-strength control, a permanent filter, and a heat-resistant borosilicate glass carafe. Owners repeatedly praise the machine’s ability to produce very hot coffee, a clean-pouring carafe, and an intuitive interface; a small number of buyers report timer problems. This review breaks down what the machine actually is, how it behaves day-to-day according to owner feedback, and the safety and durability signals you should weigh before buying.

What it is / first look

At face value this is a classic programmable drip coffee maker: 10-cup capacity, touch-screen input, and the usual drip-machine conveniences. Key listing facts are:

• Capacity: 10 cups (listed as “10 Cup Large Capacity”)
• Materials called out in the listing: borosilicate glass, plastic, stainless steel
• Wattage and power: 900 watts, 120 volts, powered by AC
• User-facing features from the listing: 24-hour programmable timer, adjustable brew strength (regular/strong), pause & serve, permanent filter, 2-hour keep-warm with auto shut-off, heat-resistant glass carafe
• Human interface: touchscreen (the listing specifies Touchscreen)
• Coffee input type: ground coffee (the listing specifies Ground)
• Not smart-home compatible (listing states: Not Smart Home Compatible)

Dimensions on the listing are 8.27" D x 6.69" W x 13.19" H and the listing shows Color: Black with an Exterior Finish described as Metallic. The listing’s item weight/capacity field shows 3.1 pounds (this appears in the product specs). The included components are listed as carafe, drip coffee maker, and filter.

First impressions from owners

Owners describe the machine as compact and attractive on the counter, with stainless-accent styling and a modern look. Multiple owners call the interface intuitive and easy to set up, and several point out that the carafe pours very cleanly. The machine’s warming element and 2-hour auto shut-off are highlighted as welcome conveniences.

In daily use

Owners’ real-world reports are the best source for everyday behavior. The pattern in buyer feedback shows a generally consistent experience with a few noteworthy exceptions.

Morning routine & programmability

The listing advertises a 24-hour programmable function and owners describe the preset function as convenient. Several buyers report the programmable timer works as expected and that it’s easy to wake up to a ready pot. That said, at least one owner reports the preset/timer malfunctioned after the first day (their unit would not start as scheduled and also appeared to shut off well before the advertised two-hour run), so there is a small but meaningful reliability flag tied to the timer on some units.

Temperature & warming

Multiple owners emphasize that the coffee comes out piping hot. The listing backs that up indirectly—the machine includes a keep-warm period and a warming plate—while also explicitly listing a 2-hour keep-warm with auto shut off. Owners repeatedly praise the hot plate for keeping coffee hot without burning it quickly, though one owner noted the machine turned off before expected in their case.

Pouring, cleanup, and filtration

Owners consistently praise the borosilicate glass carafe’s pour and drip-free spout; one owner called the pot pour “perfection.” The listing describes the carafe as heat-resistant borosilicate glass and says the carafe lid is removable for cleaning. The machine includes a permanent filter (listed), which buyers say pops out for easy cleaning. One owner mentions an auto-cleaning function by name and reports it working when needed.

Controls and strength adjustment

The listing lists an adjustable brew-strength button and owners say the strength setting delivers a bolder cup without excessive bitterness. The listing also notes a touchscreen human interface; owners say the controls are straightforward and intuitive.

Build feel and fit

Several buyers find the machine attractive and classically styled in black with metallic accents. A handful of owners note that while the unit looks metallic or stainless, some surfaces feel more like plastic on handling. This is consistent with the listing’s material callouts (borosilicate glass, plastic, stainless steel).

Materials & build quality

All claims below are drawn directly from the product listing and owner feedback.

What the listing says

• Materials: Borosilicate Glass, Plastic, Stainless Steel (as listed in specifications)
• Exterior finish: Metallic (listing field)
• Carafe: described as heat-resistant borosilicate glass with a drip-free spout (listing bullets)
• Included parts: carafe, drip coffee maker, permanent filter (listed)

Owner signals on build

Owners commonly praise the carafe and the physical design. Several call the machine compact yet solid-looking on the counter. Repeated positive notes include the removable filter basket, removable carafe lid for cleaning, and a secure water-reservoir lid that closes quietly and snuggly. A few owners caution that some surfaces feel less like metal and more like plastic despite the metallic finish—this aligns with the listing’s combination of plastic and stainless materials.

Safety considerations

Safety is a practical concern with any hot-water appliance. Below are the safety-related facts from the listing and the owner-reported signals you should weigh.

• Auto shut-off: The listing states a built-in auto shut-off after the 2-hour keep-warm period; multiple owners call that feature essential and praise it for peace of mind.
• Keep-warm plate: Owners report the warming plate gets hot and keeps coffee hot; that’s expected on drip machines and underscores the need to place the unit on heat-safe surfaces.
• Touchscreen: The listing specifies a touchscreen interface. Owners find the controls intuitive; the listing also notes the unit is not smart-home compatible.
• Child use language in the manual: An owner quoted the manual saying the appliance "can be used by children 8 years old and above if they’ve been given supervision or instruction" and pushed back on that guidance. That language exists in the manual per the owner’s report; treat it as the manufacturer’s phrasing in the included documentation.
• Timer reliability: At least one owner experienced a preset/timer failure and unexpected early shutoff—this is the clearest owner-sourced safety/reliability signal. It’s a single but significant report and suggests you should verify timer operation on first use.

Practical safety advice based on listing facts and owner patterns:

1. Follow the listing/manufacturer cleaning and unplugging recommendations in the manual before first use and regularly thereafter—owners note the manual suggests daily cleaning and unplugging for safety.
2. Place the coffee maker on a heat-resistant surface and never cover the warming plate while it is on; the listing specifies the warming function and auto-shutoff but does not list other temperature limits.
3. Because the listing includes both plastic and stainless components, verify any food-contact material claims on the current listing if you have material sensitivities (the listing identifies the materials but does not provide third-party material certifications).
4. Test the programmable timer right away—if the timer does not start or the unit shuts off prematurely, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for troubleshooting or return the unit (owner reports support this step).

Who this is for / who should skip

Use cases are grounded in the listing and owner feedback; do not treat this as a universal fit.

Best for

• Home cooks and coffee drinkers who want an easy programmable drip machine with a 10-cup capacity for family use (the listing emphasizes large capacity for family and office).
• Small offices or shared workspaces that need a compact, straightforward brewer with a permanent filter and a removable carafe for easy service (the listing recommends home use and office use).
• People who prioritize very hot coffee: multiple owners report the machine makes piping-hot pot after pot and appreciate the warming element.
• Buyers who value a removable permanent filter to cut down on paper-filter waste (the listing includes a permanent filter and owners mention the removable basket).

Good fit by kitchen size / placement

Small apartments, RVs, and compact kitchens

The listing dimensions (8.27" D x 6.69" W x 13.19" H) and owners calling the machine compact make it a reasonable pick for small counters, trailers, and tight galley kitchens. One owner specifically mentioned using it in a travel trailer.

Family kitchens and small offices

Because it brews up to 10 cups and includes a keep-warm feature, the unit suits family kitchens and small offices that want a single pot to serve a handful of people.

Who should skip

• Anyone looking for a pod-based or single-serve machine — the listing specifies Coffee Input Type: Ground, meaning it’s designed for ground coffee only.
• Espresso or pressure-based coffee fans — despite an odd line in the product text elsewhere, this is a drip machine listed as a drip coffee maker; the listing’s coffee input and features are geared toward filter coffee, not espresso (the listing lists specific uses including Americano and iced coffee, but the machine is a drip machine).
• Buyers who require smart-home integration — the listing explicitly states Not Smart Home Compatible.
• Anyone who needs a guaranteed long-term programmable-timer reliability without testing first—there is at least one owner report of timer failure, so test early or consider a seller/return policy if programmable reliability is essential.

Verdict

The Horavie 10 Cup Programmable Drip Coffee Maker is a solid everyday programmable drip brewer with useful conveniences and a lot of positive owner feedback. Owners like that it brews piping hot coffee, pours cleanly from the borosilicate glass carafe, and offers an intuitive touchscreen plus adjustable strength and a permanent filter. The machine is a practical pick for households, small offices, and compact kitchens where a classic 10-cup pot is needed.

Two practical caveats: first, one owner reported the programmable timer stopped working and the unit shut off prematurely, so programmable reliability is a small but real risk signal to monitor. Second, while the finish reads metallic, some owners report that parts feel plastic to the touch; that aligns with the materials listed (plastic + stainless) and may matter if you expect fully metal construction.

Check before you buy

• Confirm the color and finish on the current listing (the listing specifies Color: Black and Exterior Finish: Metallic).
• Verify the voltage and wattage match your needs: the listing states 900 watts and 120 volts.
• Confirm the listing materials if food-contact material transparency is important to you (the product lists borosilicate glass, plastic, stainless steel but does not cite third-party certifications).
• Plan to test the 24-hour programmable timer the first day and check auto shut-off timing; owners report a rare timer failure in one unit.
• Expect a permanent filter and removable carafe lid for cleaning—owners confirm these features make daily cleanup easier.

Final notes

If you want a straightforward, programmable drip maker that reliably delivers hot coffee and a clean pour, this Horavie model collects the features most people use daily: a 24-hour preset, strength control, pause-and-serve, and a permanent filter. The listing and owner feedback point to generally consistent brewing performance and ease of use; just validate the programmable timer on first use and be aware some surfaces are plastic under a metallic finish.
