How to choose the best coffee maker for your home

Finding the right coffee maker isn't just about the brand or the price, it's about how well a machine fits your routine and needs. Think about how you drink coffee, how many cups you make and the features that will actually make your mornings easier.

• Choose a single-serve coffee maker if speed and convenience matter most.
• Choose a drip coffee maker if multiple people drink coffee every day.
• Choose a programmable coffee maker if you want coffee ready when you wake up.
• Choose an espresso machine if you're trying to replace expensive café visits.
• Choose a cold brew maker if you prefer smooth, low-acidity coffee.

1. How much coffee do you drink?

Are you the only coffee drinker in your house? A single-serve coffee maker might be best for you. Do you brew for a family, guests or drink several cups? A larger carafe or dual-functioning coffee maker might be best.

2. Consider your routine

Programmable models can brew on your schedule, which is perfect if you want coffee ready when you wake up, or you don't have time to make a cup during an already hectic morning routine. It's great for consistency and coffee that fits into your routine without thought.

Manual coffee brewers or specialist models, like pour-overs, are more hands-on and might not be the best fit for daily use.

3. How do you drink your coffee?

Not all coffee makers are made equal. Intensity depends on the settings of a coffee maker. If you like a bold cup, choose a machine with adjustable strength settings, or opt for a single-serve machine so everyone can customize their own cup.

If you drink milk-based coffee, consider a machine with extra features like a frother. But, there are other features to consider like reusable filters, K-Cup availability, cleaning requirement, etc that can determine which type of machine is the best fit for you.
