Is it worth investing in the best coffee maker?
Coffee drinkers are unlikely to agree on what constitutes a “best coffee maker,” so the answer to this question is subjective. However, we can confidently say that you should avoid buying notably cheap coffee makers. What is considered cheap varies by type of machine. For instance, we tested a decent drip coffee maker costing around $100 but found all-electric espresso makers under $300 to be disappointing and nearly useless.
It’s often true that more Best coffee makers produce better coffee. This is because coffee brewing relies on a limited number of inputs: the quantity of coffee beans, the grind of the beans, the quantity of water, the water temperature, and the brewing time. Best coffee machines excel at controlling the latter three factors due to superior water pumps, precise temperature control with PIDs, and accurate measurements. High-end machines with built-in grinders, like super-automatic espresso makers, also manage the quantity and grind of the beans well, though we believe stand-alone burr grinders generally perform better.
