We may earn a commission when you buy through links on this page, at no extra cost to you. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Disclosure.

How we chose: we started from Amazon's best-seller lists and from recent hands-on tests by Wirecutter, Serious Eats and Good Housekeeping, then kept models that are current and widely sold. We did not test these machines ourselves; specs come from makers and retailer listings, and reviewer views are paraphrased with links. Full method.

FAQ

Do you test coffee makers yourselves?

No. Our comparisons are research-based: we combine Amazon best-seller lists, recent hands-on tests by Wirecutter, Serious Eats, Good Housekeeping and others, and maker specs. We say so on every page.

Why no star ratings or prices?

Star ratings and prices change constantly, and Amazon doesn't allow its prices or ratings to be shown outside its own tools. We link you to the retailer to see current details.
