Black+Decker 12-cup digital coffee maker
Rating: 4.4 out of 5 stars
For a no-frills option, try this Black+Decker coffee maker that has a 12-cup capacity. Notable features include Sneak-a-Cup, which lets you pour your first cup before all the coffee is done brewing, a water window, an auto-brew feature and an easy-to-use display without so many bells and whistles.
Promising review: "I have been using this at least 3-4x a week since I bought it and it works great. The price was great too. Water capacity is up to 12 cups, but as I'm the only coffee drinker in my house I never make more than 6 cups max if I'm working from home. The cleaning is super easy, I can throw the basket and the pot in the dishwasher and they come out great and I have a simple coffee maker cleaner that cleans it internally as easy as making coffee. It also is small enough to not take up a ton of counter space.
Unlike other brands that were actually more expensive, coffee doesn't taste burnt with this one. Definitely would buy it again if something happened to it and it has already paid for itself at least 5 times over." — lauren oblek
Ninja espresso and coffee barista system
Rating: 4.4 out of 5 stars
It seems like this Ninja espresso machine can do it all: It offers three single-serve espresso styles, nine brew sizes, an adjustable cup tray, a built-in, fold-away milk frother, a 19-bar pressure system to deliver high-quality espresso and a used capsule storage bin that can hold up to 20 capsules at once.
Promising review: "Yes!!! No more having a bunch of appliances to make a certain type of coffee. Have owned this for a few months and my husband and I are in love of how compatible and great it works. Nesspresso Pods fit perfectly (serving we normally have to push the espresso button twice for a perfect shot) (Lungo option: get a normal mug service a bit bigger then the standard espresso shot) on coffee side works great. Easy to clean and put back together. Temps are all nice I did find single serve coffee side to be not super hot but still works for me. Noise: not too loud I make coffee while my son naps and he doesn’t move a muscle." — Jessica Nin
Mueller Austria French press
Rating: 4.7 out of 5 stars
Mueller's French press is as elegant as it is easy to use and effective at making delicious coffee. It has a four-level filtration system that stops coffee grounds and sediment from contaminating the beverage but lets the coffee oils through. It's dishwasher-safe and rust-proof and includes a matching travel canister that can hold beans or grounds for two full batches, making it perfect for camping or other travels.
Promising review: "I like that this particular french press is built sturdy and made to last. It's pretty convenient and once you figure out the water to coffee ratio, the flavor is unmatched. Leakage hasn't been an issue. The handle never gets hot, and the size is just right for my partner and I. It's easily portable and simple to clean. It looks nice on my counter, and doesn't take up a bunch of space... or require a plug in. It works for my lifestyle. Honestly it doesn't take that much more time to brew a pot -as compared to a standard coffee pot. If you prefer good taste and more control over your brew then the little bit of extra time isn't going to be a deal breaker. I bought the larger size Considering we are big coffee drinkers. Its Worth the price." — Milla taylor

Rating: 4.4 out of 5 stars

It is self-cleaning, has automatic shut-off and holds up to 14 cups. It practically does everything but pour the coffee for you!
Promising review: "One of the best coffee makers we have ever purchased. The coffee tastes so much better and stays hot that I've had to reduce the number of scoops of grounds used as the coffee comes out so strong. This makes a cup of coffee equal to a Starbucks coffee (and I don't even have it set to bold) Love it!!" — Nancy Adle
Keurig K-Slim coffee maker
Rating: 4.4 out of 5 stars
Thanks to its slim profile, the Keurig K-Slim coffee machine fits in even the tiniest of kitchens. Despite its petite size, it features a multiple-cup water reservoir, so you don't have to worry about constant refilling. It's tall enough to be travel mug-friendly, is energy efficient and has a removable drip tray for easy cleanup.
Promising review: "Had it for a few days now, everything works great. It takes almost no space up on the counter, I love this 5 inch wide size. Having the water reservoir is very convenient...I had considered some of the other models where you fill up each cup manually, but am glad I decided on this one, you can make several cups and not have to refill. Coffee comes out at a nice temperature, not scalding, but the temperature coffee should really be, just hot enough. Using normal k-pods, no issues so far. Having the 3 sizes is also helpful, I didn't think I'd want this, but it turns out it is useful. I would recommend and would purchase again." — Joe A
Aeropress coffee and espresso maker
Rating: 4.7 out of 5 stars
The AeroPress is quickly becoming a popular French press alternative among enthusiasts. It quickly and easily makes tasty, smooth and deliciously full-flavored coffee while eliminating bitterness, acidity and grit. The lightweight, small and durable design makes it incredibly portable, so you can take it on the go no matter where you may be. It comes in two sizes.
Promising review: "This makes an excellent cup of coffee quickly and without a lot of waste (filter paper, pod, etc). It’s easy to adjust the strength to your own taste by varying quantity of beans, grind size, how long it “steeps” etc. I started years ago with an Aeropress for travel and then took if to Scotland for six months in 2021. While I was there I just stopped using the pour over method I was used to in favor of the Aeropress. My original one is still working after more than 10 years although I’ve replaced the plunger seal but I needed a new one s I’d have one for travel and one for at home." — classicboomer

Promising review: “Have had this one for about 6 months . I was alittle skeptical when I first got it. Thinking it couldn’t do that good of a job. I have to say I am impressed. For the money this machine does a good job. I make 2 double Lattes every morning and pour them into a Yeti and head to work. It could be alittle hotter but for a guy that likes his coffee hot, it is good. I rarely go to Starbucks now. — Dennis Luster

Bialetti Moka Express
Rating: 4.6 out of 5 stars
Made in Italy, the Bialetti Moka Express is the original moka coffee pot for stovetop espresso. It is beautifully crafted with a patented safety valve and easy-to-clean features that make it a wonderful alternative to investing in a massive espresso machine. It's available in one-, six-, nine- and 12-cup sizes.
Promising review: "I have tried pour-over, standard drip coffee, Starbucks, French press... you name it. But every time I come back to my Moka Pot, I am always like, "Ahhhhhh!! That's so good!!" It is like night and day better than other methods. I don't know the mechanics of how the magic happens except that perhaps the steam is just super gentle on the ground beans and knows how to bring out the very best in them. I add a small bit of cream and I am in heaven. It is easy to use and is also a beautiful piece of art in its own right. Highly recommended!" — Jack's Girl
