Best of the Best

Bottom Line

For less than a comparable machine, this one does it all, from brewing an entire pot to a single cup via ground coffee or K-Cup.

Pros

Removable parts are all dishwasher safe. Each brewing function has its own visible water tank, which is easy to fill. Coffee can be brewed at regular strength or bold. Carafe warmer keeps coffee hot for two hours, then shuts off automatically.

Cons

Only the carafe side can be programmed. As it's a larger machine, it may not fit on smaller countertops.

Bottom Line

Whether on the go or enjoying an entire pot at home, this coffee maker provides both options without breaking the bank.

Pros

Filter not needed for the single-cup side, as it includes a removable filter basket for ground coffee or soft coffee pods. Adjustable height on the single-serve size to accommodate cups and taller travel mugs. Can set timer for up to 24 hours ahead.

Cons

Cannot be used with K-Cups. No permanent filter included on carafe side, so will need extra filters.

Bottom Line

No more broken carafes with the BrewStation, which makes as little or as much coffee as needed – and no glass pot.

Pros

Removable and clearly-marked reservoir makes it easy to add just the right amount of water for 1-12 cups. Programmable to shut off up to four hours, twice the time as similar coffee makers. Coffee can be poured mid-brew, and made in regular or bold strength.

Cons

When lid is flipped up to remove tank or add coffee, it may not fit under low cabinets; entire machine will have to be moved.

Bottom Line

A relatively inexpensive single cup coffee maker with adjustable stand for travel mugs and standard coffee cups.

Pros

Mesh filter doubles as a coffee scoop, and stores on the side of the machine. Customizable brewing for regular strength or bold coffee. Lower height that fits under most kitchen cabinets. Easy to fill reservoir, so fresh water used for each cup. Heats quickly.

Cons

Brews up to 14 oz., so larger travel mugs won't fill completely. Some users actually prefer to use paper filters, feeling the taste is better.

Bottom Line

Traditionalists will enjoy this easy-to-use coffee maker that brews up to 12 regular or bold cups in short order.

Pros

Water reservoir is located at the front of the unit and basket slides forward so not a lot of space is taken up under cabinets. Controls are simple to program and use. There's a reminder when it's time to clean the machine and change the filter.

Cons

Some users have to constantly move their coffee maker, as their cabinets are too low for lid to flip up completely.
