Butler Coffee Maker 1.25L Keep-Warm Nylon Filter

Description

The Butler 1.25L filter coffee maker is a straightforward, no-frills drip brewer aimed at households that want simple, regular filter coffee for family use. It brews up to 1.25 litres (around 8–10 cups), has an included nylon reusable filter, and basic safety and convenience features such as a keep‑warm plate and automatic shut‑off — good for kitchens where you want fast, familiar coffee without smart features or advanced programmability.

Who this suits

• Small families or couples who drink several cups through the morning and want to make a full carafe in one go.
• Buyers who prefer a traditional filter coffee maker with a reusable filter rather than pods or espresso machines.
• People who value straightforward controls and basic safety features rather than timers, app control or brew-strength settings.

Capacity and what it means in everyday use

• Capacity: 1.25 litres (listed as 8–10 cups). That is a full carafe for a typical breakfast table — enough for a family or a small gathering, but not large events.
• Filter: supplied nylon reusable filter (filter size 1 x 4). You can use the reusable filter to avoid paper waste; compatible 1 x 4 paper filters are also the standard size if you prefer paper.
• Keep‑warm: the non‑stick heating plate keeps coffee warm but the machine has an automatic shut‑off that activates within 40 minutes. In practice, the plate keeps brew drinkable for a short period but won’t maintain temperature indefinitely.

Key features and practical effects

• Power: 1000 W. That gives brisk heating and typical brew times for filter machines of this power class (manufacturer doesn’t publish a brew time).
• Drip‑stop function: lets you remove the glass carafe mid‑brew without dripping coffee onto the warming plate.
• Water level indicator: helps measure water for the number of cups you want.
• Safety: overheat protection and an automatic shut‑off (within 40 minutes) reduce fire risk if you forget the machine on.
• BPA‑free parts: a health and material reassurance for components that contact water and coffee.
• Physical items included: 1.25L glass carafe and user manual (manual languages listed include EN/DE/FR/ES/NL/…).

Practicalities: installation, cleaning and space

• Space: manufacturer lists dimensions as 31 x 25 x 18.2 cm — check that footprint and height fit under cupboards or on your counter. The unit is lightweight (1.32 kg) and easy to move.
• Power and placement: requires a 230 V mains supply; the cord is relatively short (0.70 m), so position it close to a socket or plan to use a safe extension.
• Cleaning: the glass carafe and nylon filter are easy to rinse; consult the supplied manual for dishwasher guidance — the product data does not specify dishwasher safety. The non‑stick warming plate is generally wiped clean but can stain over time with spilt coffee.
• No extras: this model does not have programmable timers, brew‑strength selectors, milk frothers or Bluetooth/Wi‑Fi — it is a basic drip brewer.

Things to know before buying

• Keep‑warm is limited by the automatic shut‑off: the plate will hold warmth short term but the machine switches off within 40 minutes, so it’s not for prolonged warming.
• Cord length is only 0.7 m — measure your counter and socket positions before purchase.
• No programming or delayed start: if you want a machine that starts automatically before you wake, this model won’t provide that.
• For larger households or frequent entertaining, 1.25 L may not be enough in a single batch.
• The product is supplied with a nylon reusable filter; if you prefer paper filters, use 1 x 4 paper filters (filter size stated).

If you want a simple, reliable filter machine with a reusable filter and basic safety features, the Butler 1.25L is worth considering. If you need programmability, stronger feature sets or longer keep‑warm times, look at higher‑spec models.
