Best Coffee Makers for 2024

Often found at a sale price of $80, the Ninja Programmable XL 14-Cup Coffee Maker provides tasty coffee on a budget. Of the cheaper coffee makers, this Ninja regularly made the smoothest, richest and tastiest coffee (not to mention the most volume of coffee). With both classic and rich brew settings and a setting for making smaller quantities, it's a coffee maker that can accommodate working from home alone or having friends over for brunch. It'll brew at a set time and warm your brewed coffee, like many other pots, but it also has a cleaning cycle. With a reusable filter in the box, you can also cut down on one more coffee expense.

While the Cafe Specialty Drip Coffee Maker doesn't come cheap, it does offer a lot for the money. If you are a coffee drinker who likes a smart coffee maker, you can schedule a delicious cup in advance with its auto brew feature. It's an excellent brewer that brews fast and with exceptional water temperature control. The Cafe model also offers a quality thermal carafe, makes 10-cup batches and links to Wi-Fi to provide smart app control. The Cafe is easy on the eyes, too, incorporating lots of brushed metal in its design.

Cold-brew coffee is delicious, but it can be a pain to make. Oxo's cold-brew coffee maker takes much of the headache out of the process. This Oxo Brew coffee maker saturates coffee grounds evenly and lets you drain cold-brewed coffee from them into its glass carafe with relative ease.

Delicious coffee and great-tasting drip from a product that costs less than $20? It sounds unlikely, but that's just what the affordable Oxo Good Grips Pour-Over offers. It only makes coffee one drink at a time and requires you to provide hot water. That said, the simple brewer transforms the otherwise complex task of making a pour-over into one that's easy, clean and almost foolproof.

Think of this kitchen appliance as the Swiss Army knife of the drip coffee maker world.

This coffee machine can create everything from solid drip to perfect cold brew or iced coffee to latte-style drinks with its milk frother, and it will adjust the temperature according to your choice.

You won't mind having the Wilfa Performance coffee maker sitting on your counter. Its clean, striking design makes it a device to show off. You'll also want it close at hand for the smooth and balanced coffee it makes. This Wilfa machine pairs a beautiful design with simple controls that allow you to customize your brew without getting too bogged down in minutia. While you might find similar quality for cheaper, you'll be hard-pressed to find a better-looking coffee maker.

Those who seek lots of coffee in a hurry will love the quick brew cycle of this coffee maker.

In as little as 3 minutes and 33 seconds, the coffee maker can deliver full batches of tasty drip coffee to drink.

Dutch company Technivorm has sold exceptionally good drip coffee makers for decades. Its Moccamaster drip coffee machine sports a design with clean lines and sharp angles that harkens back to 1968, the year the first Moccamaster hit stores. Retro design aside, the Moccamaster KBT 741 consistently puts out perfect freshly brewed coffee that will satisfy coffee connoisseurs. Its stainless-steel thermal carafe also keeps its contents hot for a full 6 hours.
