Best Coffee Drippers

Whether at home or on the go, this lightweight, BPA-free coffee maker will create the perfect cup, time after time.

No plastic taste or smell. Won't shatter like glass or ceramic drippers. Cleanup is extremely easy. Can use any ground coffee (although results will be better with freshly-ground beans). Simpler to use than a French press with similar results.

Best Bang for the Buck

Melitta

A brand synonymous with amazing coffee making for more than a century, so no surprise that this single-cup dripper is both fashionable and cost-effective.

Made from porcelain, which retains heat better and is more durable. Costs around the same – or less – than plastic drippers. Users love the smooth, full flavor. Dishwasher safe, so cleanup is easy.

Good Grips Single Serve Pour Over Coffee Dripper

Unit can break if dropped. May be a bit too small if coffee cup is more than 4 inches wide.

OXO

The premier name in kitchen gadgets lends its expertise to create a tasty individual cup of coffee, and at a bargain price.

Don't have to pour water slowly like most drippers: add water all at once and let it do its thing. Lid can be used as a drip tray after brewing. All parts BPA-free and can be washed on top rack of dishwasher.

Stainless Steel Pour Over Coffee Dripper

Makes up to a 12-ounce cup, so may not be large enough for some users.

Beryl Bear

For a superb cup of coffee without the fuss of an extra filter, this safe stainless steel dripper pulls out all the stops.

Inner layer of fine mesh keeps grounds out of the brew, even without filters. Included stainless steel scoop makes it easy to measure the perfect cup size and doubles as a bag clip. Easy to clean out after each use and doesn't stain.

Delicate construction; mesh will break if not handled with care. Too small to fit over larger coffee cups.

Maranello Caffé

Pour Over Coffee Dripper

Gleaming stainless steel and a dual filter brewing system makes 1 to 4 cups of barista-worthy coffee – with no extra paper filters to buy.

Durable construction and takes little space to store. Those who have used a French press feel this makes comparable coffee without nearly as many grounds left over, and without the potential breakage. Despite being steel, the dripper isn't too hot to pick up after use.
