Best Overall

A compact, capsule-only espresso machine that trades control over the bean for a small footprint and one-button repeatability.

A compact, one-touch way into Nespresso Original capsules for a single user who values speed and counter space over control over the shot.
Popular Pick
A plain programmable drip machine that has coffee ready on a timer and lets you pour early. It brews into a glass carafe on a warming plate, so there is no insulated carafe to hold heat off the base.

West Bend's urn brews a big batch for meetings, church events and family gatherings, then holds it at serving heat. It is rated for light-duty use, not daily commercial service.



A compact five cup drip coffee maker with a removable tank, a water filter and iced coffee lines, sized for a small kitchen. It brews into a glass carafe on a warming plate, not a thermal carafe.

A precise, programmable drip brewer for coffee enthusiasts who want specialty-style control at the push of a button, with a thermal carafe that holds heat. It is tall, so check the space under wall cabinets.

A single-serve capsule machine that makes espresso, coffee and milk drinks with a built-in frother for small kitchens and offices. It only takes Lavazza Expert and Blue capsules.

A renewed (refurbished) programmable drip brewer with two strength settings, a delay timer and a removable reservoir for daily household coffee. It is a renewed unit with a short warranty, and the carafe type is not described.

A renewed (refurbished) Ninja coffee maker that brews a carafe or a single pod, hot or iced. It is a refurbished unit with a short warranty, and it has no milk frother.


A compact capsule machine that heats fast and brews espresso or lungo with one button. It uses only Nespresso Original capsules and the listing names no milk frother.

An automatic pour-over brewer that blooms the grounds and earned SCAA certification, with strength and warming controls. The carafe is glass on a heater plate, not thermal.

A capable small-footprint espresso maker once you confirm the unit works, but the pattern of damaged-on-arrival tanks and used-looking boxes in reviews means it's worth checking the water tank the day it arrives.

A fully automatic bean-to-cup machine that makes espresso, coffee and iced coffee at a touch, with a manual frother for milk drinks. Milk frothing is hands-on, not one-touch.


A dependable programmable drip maker that brews a travel mug or a full pot with a cafe-style sprayhead. It is not meant for high-altitude homes, and carafe type is not stated.


A slim single-serve brewer that takes pods or grounds and makes iced coffee, for small counters and commuters. Reservoir size is listed two ways, and it brews one cup at a time.

A tiny single-serve brewer for RVs, dorms and small apartments that takes pods, grounds or tea. It makes one cup at a time, so it will not serve a group.

Coffee machines come in carafe-based formats for serving a pot and espresso-focused formats for preparing concentrated shots, with different preparation routines for each. Start with the Drip Coffee Machine or Espresso Machine type label, then read the brewing description to establish what drinks the machine actually prepares. Once the brewing method suits your drinks, the first sizing decision is how much coffee you need in a session, measured against the mugs or espresso cups you actually use.
Among the 56 products that list capacity, most fall between 3.6 and 12 cups, and 7.6 cups is typical. A stated cup capacity may use a smaller serving than your mug, so look for the corresponding water volume before estimating how many servings a batch provides. For smaller batches, consult the manual’s minimum brewing quantity; a large carafe does not tell you how well the machine handles a modest amount. On an espresso machine, distinguish water reservoir capacity from the amount brewed per shot, since a larger reservoir mainly changes how frequently you refill it.
Preparation effort matters when choosing between machines that make similar drinks. Check whether the machine has a built-in grinder or takes pre-ground coffee. If you plan to grind whole beans separately, check whether a suitable grinder is included or sold separately. For espresso, find out whether you must measure and tamp the grounds yourself, since that adds hands-on steps between drinks. If you make milk drinks, distinguish a steam wand that requires manual frothing from a milk system that dispenses automatically, and establish whether the required milk container is included.
Before buying, allow clearance to open the grounds compartment, fill or remove the reservoir, and place your tallest intended cup beneath the outlet. Establish whether the machine uses a refillable tank or needs a water connection. For upkeep, confirm the required filter shape and size and whether a usable filter is supplied; the Reusable and Paper labels do not specify fit. Check which component the Stainless Steel or Plastic label describes; if you have a preference for materials that contact your coffee, confirm those parts’ materials specifically. Consult the manual for washing instructions for removable brewing and milk-contact parts, and for required descaling supplies and replacement water filters.
