90-day price history
lowest new price per dayAcross the stores we track, today's price spread is $22.55 ($64.44 to $86.99).
Today’s best tag on the CE251 is a real drop, not a dressed-up sticker: it sits well below the machine’s 90-day average and lands at the lowest point of the past month. That matters more on a discontinued model than on a current one, because supply thins out and tags tend to drift upward once stock clears rather than downward.
A 12-cup carafe built for whole-pot mornings
The CE251 is a full-size programmable drip brewer. The 12-cup glass carafe is the defining number here: it is a household batch size, enough for several mugs in one go or refills through a slow morning, so you are not running the machine three times before everyone leaves. If you drink one cup a day, a 12-cup brewer is oversized, and you will be pouring away coffee or reheating it.
Classic and Rich, and what the warming plate controls
Two brew strengths are on board. Classic is the standard extraction, and Rich pushes a denser cup, which is the setting to use when you are adding milk or ice and want the coffee to still taste like coffee. The adjustable warming plate is the other practical control: you decide how hot the carafe is held and for how long, which is the difference between a drinkable second cup an hour later and a stewed one. Glass carafes on a plate always trade some flavour for convenience, and that is the compromise this design accepts.

Delay brew is the feature that earns its keep
The 24-hour delay timer is the reason to pick a programmable machine over a plain one. Load water and grounds the night before, set the hour, and the pot is finished when you reach the kitchen. Paired with the 12-cup capacity, it suits a household that wants coffee ready without anyone standing over the machine. Skip this model if you want single-serve pods, milk drinks, or a thermal carafe, none of which are part of this design.
Buying a discontinued model, and where the listings come from
Because the CE251 is no longer in production, the listings we track are remaining new stock spread across both retailer-owned and marketplace sellers. Those are not equivalent purchases: returns, warranty handling, and shipping terms follow whoever actually sells the unit, not the site’s logo. The price table below shows where each first-party and marketplace seller currently stands, and the difference between the two seller types is explained in our guide to first-party vs marketplace sellers.
Reading the drop before stock runs out
On a discontinued brewer, a low tag is usually clearance rather than a promotion cycle, so waiting carries a different risk than it does on a current model: the listing can disappear instead of getting cheaper. We record every tracked listing daily and compare the current figure against the rolling 90-day record, which is how this page decides whether a discount is genuine. That process is set out in how we track prices. Today’s figure clears that bar. Check the live table above before you buy, since as of September 29, 2026 the picture can change overnight on thinning stock.
