17 Coffee Makers Reviewers Actually Swear By

"The coffee comes out smelling and tasting great every time with no grounds." Can't ask for more than that. ☕

1. A pour-over coffee maker so cute, it might actually inspire you to start making your daily joe at home rather than overspending on mobile orders seven days a week.

amazon.com

And! It even comes with a stainless-steel mesh filter, which means you can wave goodbye to disposable filters and plastic capsules!

Promising review: "Very easy and clean to use! I love a gadget that's quick and to the point. If you're always on the go like I am but enjoy a quality cup of Joe, go for this item! You won't regret it :)" —KZH

Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in four sizes and four colors).

2. Or, this ceramic dripper — perfect for anyone who is just looking to make one cup at a time. All you have to do is put it on top of your fav mug, add a filter and some grounds and you'll be off to the (caffeine) races.

amazon.com

Psssst! These unbleached cone filters are specifically designed to use with this dripper.

Promising review: "I love coffee! My friend told me I should try a dripper instead of my Keurig, as a way to reduce waste...So I did and It worked GREAT! It's very easy to use and clean. I love the fact that it is ceramic and not plastic, it holds heat much better and the flavor is fantastic! It fits over any size coffee cup or small coffee pot. Love it!" —Suzanna D.

Get it from Amazon for $15.49 (available in eight colors/patterns).

3. A programmable coffee pot you can set the night before so you don't have to hassle with measuring cups and water at an ungodly hour.

amazon.com

Promising review: "I bought this coffee maker way back. Three-and-a-half years later, with literally well over 1,000 pots of coffee made, it still performs as well as the day I took it out of the box. I love the programmable timer and automatic two-hour shut off feature also. I set it up the night before, and when my alarm goes off at 5:30 a.m., I wake up to a nice hot pot of Folger's coffee! I would give it 10 stars if I could!!!" —Jim F

Get it from Amazon for $24.99.

4. A Breville espresso machine that comes with all the attachments, gadgets, and gizmos to make you a full-blown at-home barista. Now you can finally learn latte art!

Amazon, amazon.com

Promising review: "After working as a barista for four years, the thought of leaving the cafe to go to grad school was upsetting. It does everything I need it to in order to prepare any coffee shop drink! Perfect single or double espresso (even coming with dual wall filters to give decent espresso from pre-ground coffee), steam wand with acceptable pressure and good heat for texturing milk (latte art is a must for me and this machine allows me to achieve it 7/10 times). It has a nice size water tank with a good filter, hot water spigot for Americanos, storage tray hidden inside to hold filters and tools, a built in burr grinder which is amazing because it requires no extra space in your kitchen and works just as well as a separate one. I really love this machine and after four times daily use for the last two months I have yet to need to clean it with the tablets provided due to all of the self cleaning the machine does. Water is a great temp for brewing and steaming, and it’s not piping hot but plenty hot enough from the water spigot. This machine is kind of a 'why on earth not?' kind of deal." —Samantha Stangl

Get it from Amazon for $699.95.

5. A classic French press that's so simple yet so effective. Plus, pushing all those grounds through a carafe of steaming hot water is quite the cathartic activity first thing in the morning (and if you're anything like me, constitutes your weight training for the day).

amazon.com

Promising review: "The perfect little vessel for a quick cuppa, without commiting to a whole pot! I’m thrilled with my adorable, and aesthetically pleasing Bodum press. I got a large one some time ago, which I’ve loved for when we have company, (or after a sleepless night :)) but sometimes I just need a single cup, just for me. This is the perfect size, and is easy to clean. Consistent delicious pressed coffee, every time." —Kora66

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in three sizes and two colors).

6. A cold brew maker (a BuzzFeed Shopping favorite!), so all you have to do in the morning is pour it in a glass, add a few ice cubes, and then stir in some (okay, a lot) of your go-to creamer.

amazon.com, amazon.com

My coworker, Maitland, absolutely loves this cold brew maker — here's what she had to say about it.

Promising review: "This is amazing!!!! Makes my morning routine so much easier. Helps save some money buying iced coffee. Seriously treat yo self to one of these." —c der

Get it from Amazon for $19.99.

7. A moka maker you can use to whip up a dark, rich cup right on your stovetop — nothing else required.

amazon.com

This can *also* make three demitasse cups of moka (something in between coffee and espresso) in just a few minutes.

Promising review: "I really like the size for a single person, because I don't usually drink more than 1 coffee at a time, so the amount is perfect for me to have in the morning. It is a bit more work to keep it at its best condition with cleaning and getting set-up, but I think the taste and amount is worth it, and I feel like I'm using it often enough that it has already paid for itself. It can be a little tedious if I end up making another portion for someone else, but usually, I'm the only one who has a cup so most days it's just perfect. I'd highly recommend this pot to anyone who makes themselves a small amount of coffee instead of someone who's looking for a larger pot for multiple people to use each day." —Aria Clawson

Get it from Amazon for $20.89+ (available in four sizes)

8. A travel espresso maker, because being on a remote hike miles away from civilization shouldn't mean you have to go without.

amazon.com

This little gadget is compact and easy to travel with. It has a built-in cup and scoop. It's hand-operated, so you don't need electricity to use it.

Promising review: "LOVE this. I’ve been looking for a way to make espresso at home that wouldn’t take up precious counter space in my small apartment. I’ve also been wanting to switch from pour over to espresso because pour over makes me jittery. I got the larger reservoir accessory pack and can pull three espresso shots in about 10 min (including grinding, packing the shots, and switching the basket with the grounds out between shots). The taste is amazing and the whole set up is exactly what I needed. I also like that it isn’t noisy like an electric espresso machine." —Sheryl

Get it from Amazon for $49.90

9. A more affordable, suuuper-compact pod coffee maker that, ahem, is completely compatible with good ol' K-cups! If you're on a budget or working with a small space, this might just be the one for you.

amazon.com

It fits most capsules and makes coffee in three to five minutes. You can also snag some refillable pods and use any ground coffee you'd like.

Promising review: "This is the BEST single K-cup coffee pot I have bought. I have bought the Keurig, Mr Coffee, Hamilton Flex Brew and others, but none of them are as good as this little one. It's small and powerful. The coffee comes out smelling and tasting great every time with no grounds. Takes up very little space on the counter and so easy to use! I am so pleased with this purchase and the price was great as well. I am now thinking of buying another one for the office." —TRACEY CARNEVALE

Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in seven colors).

10. Or, a single-serve coffee, latte, and cappuccino maker from Keurig so you can get alllll your fav drinks in a matter of minutes. Just pop in the proper K-Cup and you'll be good to go. The built-in milk frother is a nice touch, too.

amazon.com

Promising review: "This is just what I needed! I only drink a cup of coffee a day — it’s usually a latte or mocha. I got the K-Cup universal filter, I use my favorite Starbucks coffee and I get two espresso shots per use. The milk foamer is perfect — I’ve used half/half, heavy whipping cream, and almond milk, so far no issues with that. I get nice foam with all three. Totally worth what I paid for it — in the long run I will save money and this machine will have paid for itself!" —jlightfritz

Get it from Amazon for $169.99.

11. A Hamilton Beach two-way brewer that'll fill up your carafe OR your to-go mug. How easy is that!?

Amazon

FYI: this does *not* come with a travel mug.

Promising review: "I'm a big coffee drinker and I usually end up making a small pot in the afternoon so when I saw this two-in-one coffee maker, I thought it was a great idea. I love being able to make a single cup of coffee in the afternoon or an entire pot in the morning. The coffee tastes great and it's hot like it should be, but not too hot. I chose this coffee maker because it doesn't use K-Cups or pods and the single serve side has a reusable filter. K-Cups are a great idea, but they cause a lot of waste which I don't want to contribute to, so this coffee maker is the answer to those of us who want a single cup without causing unnecessary waste. It's affordable and also looks great in my kitchen. I bought a Sunwill 12 oz coffee tumbler in white and it looks great with the coffee maker. Very happy with this purchase." —littlerockmom

Get it from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in two colors).

12. An absolutely beautiful Chemex pour-over that'll probably bring you right back to your high school chemistry days. This fancy beaker is a favorite amongst influencers and YouTubers alike!

amazon.com

You'll probably want some Chemex filters to use with this, too.

Promising review: "Purchased a Chemex system to try "pour over" coffee after having different K-cup brewers for years. The brew process is very easy after watching a few YouTube videos for different methods. The process does require extra time and proper setup to be done right. But it makes an excellent cup of coffee and therefore the extra time required is minuscule. If you want to make clean, fresh coffee Walter White style, try the Chemex. If you only want the quickest way to a cup of coffee with less quality, stick to the k cup brewers. I highly recommend the Chemex, and enjoy finding different coffee beans to try." —John

Get it from Amazon for $49.95.

13. An Amazon Basics 5-cup coffeemaker equipped with a reusable filter so you don't have to mess around with buying paper ones (and creating unnecessary waste!).

Amazon

Promising review: "Best, cheapest coffee maker I've ever purchased. My previous coffee maker randomly broke on me and I needed a cheap quick option for my morning coffee. This one actually has a reusable filter!! I love that! I don't feel bad that I'm using and throwing away paper filters every morning. Plus the filter is dishwasher safe (top rack) and super easy to take out and rinse. I love this little guy for my apartment kitchen." —Mary Pena

Get it from Amazon for $20.49.

14. A Brim automatic pour-over designed to give you a perfect brew between 197.6 degrees F to 204.8 degrees F — aka, the best possible temp for the best possible tasting coffee.

Amazon

Promising review: "Very impressed with this maker. I've been actually humbled by a few people who choose the coffee from this maker over my hand-poured coffee. The same people have previously claimed my hand made pour over coffee in the is the best they'd ever had...so I guess it's really something this machine won their taste test. This is the real deal and will update this review if something goes south. So far this machine has exceeded my expectations, which I can sadly admit are snobbishly high for coffee." —Geoff

Get it from Amazon for $140.99.

15. A classic, programmable Cuisinart guaranteed to make your coffee brewing experience seamless and headache free. Best of all, it can brew a whopping 14 cups in a single cycle!

amazon.com

Promising review: "This coffee maker is amazing. Not only is it a really great color, but it makes super hot and delicious coffee!...My mother has this same pot in the silver stainless and she really likes it, so she purchased this one for us. It came within a day. It is very easy to set up! I just brewed our first pot this morning and wow! Finally I don't need to use four or five pods each morning! Make sure to register online when you get it. We couldn't be happier with this machine." —Darlene

Get it from Amazon for $99.95.

16. A cult-favorite Nespresso Vertuo single-serve espresso maker that has over 2,500 5-star reviews on Amazon.

amazon.com

Check out all the Nespresso pods you can get here!

Promising review: "Best product I have purchased from Amazon! I was licking to get it on a great sale. I am not much of a coffee drinker but Jesus Christ, the difference between this and the Keurig 2.0 that I have is like not even comparable. This machine makes the best coffee I have ever had. My fiancé makes coffee every morning and I started enjoying it too. The milk frothed makes it even better. There are so many options to try from (even pumpkin spice!). You can literally have your own Starbucks at home. It is also a lot cheaper than Starbucks (not cheaper than a regular coffee machine tho considering a pot is like a dollar)." —Vanesa

Get it from Amazon for $209.95.

17. A Chefman Grind and Brew you can use to, you guessed it, grind your beans right before brewing them. We love a two-in-one.

Amazon

Promising review: "Compact (doesn't take up too much counter space), well-designed, and easy to use. I bought it two months ago and I'm very satisfied. The grinder grinds the beans completely, and the built-in steel mesh filter keeps all the grounds in. No grounds get into the coffee. It's very easy to assemble and disassemble for cleaning. Minor downsides; cleaning takes a few minutes, and you have to shake the grounds out of the filter unit after detaching it but this would be the same for any coffee maker with a built-in grinder. I usually run water through it once or twice after cleaning to remove any leftover coffee flavor. The 4-cup carafe is a bit small, but it's perfect for one person and would probably be enough for two moderately thirsty coffee drinkers." —Amazon Customer
