Pros + Cons

Pro
 Many different ways to customize the brew to your liking

The Aeropress makes use of manually applied pressure to force-filter coffee grounds. During the process, the Aeropress allows you to tweak the pressure, water temperature, ground size, pouring rate and timing which results in a very customized flavor. This feature inspired coffee-making competitions such as the Aeropress Cup to make the best cup of coffee using only the Aerobie Areopress.
Comment

Pro
 Great for taking on the road with you

The Aerobee Aeropress is made out of high quality polypropylene plastic which makes it durable. Unlike most coffee makers, the Aeropress can take a beating so you can toss it in your bag and and bring it anywhere you need it. The Aeropress even has an included pouch where you can carry all the parts so you are ready to brew coffee anywhere you have hot water.
Comment

Pro
 Fast and easy to clean up

After a cup is brewed, the used grounds and filter paper form a dense puck-shaped mass that can be disposed of easily. Having a quick clean up time is very useful when you’re making coffee on the go.
Comment

Pro
 Makes great tasting coffee

Much like an espresso machine, the Aerobee Aeropress yields strong and flavorful coffee by forcing water through fine coffee grounds. It allows the water to absorb the flavor before the bitterness can be released.
Comment

Pro
 Tons of great aftermarket accessories

The PRISMO is a must buy.
Comment

Pro
 Can make a cup of coffee in under 1 minute

The Aerobie AeroPress can use a very quick brewing method thanks to its convenient design. You just have to fill up its tube, press down on the pump, and the coffee will be extracted using pressure.
Comment

Con
 Requires you to buy filters separately

It requires the use of disposable filters to make a cup of coffee. It's quite affordable though, because 700 paper filters only cost around $10. As such, it will hardly drain your savings but if you want a reusable metal filter to reduce your waste and expenses, third party manufacturers can provide them at around $10 each.
Comment

Pro
 Requires very little effort to use

Using the KONA French Press requires minimal effort: you just have to put coffee grounds, add hot water, mix, wait a bit, then press. This result is a good homebrewed cup of coffee without all the hassle.
Comment

Pro
 Can be used for loose leaf tea

While the KONA French Press is a great coffee maker, it’s also good for brewing loose-leaf tea. The dual function of the KONA French Press makes it a great addition to the kitchen for someone who enjoys both coffee and tea.
Comment

Pro
 Great build quality at a low price

The KONA French Press is designed to last for years, unlike lower quality alternatives that rarely last for several months. With proper care, the KONA French Press is good for everyday use due to its borosilicate glass construction that provides durability and prevents cracking.
Comment

Con
 Brews coffee with bitter notes

The KONA French Press uses coarser grinds brewed for minutes. The longer exposure of the water to the grind makes the final brew taste slightly bitter and acidic.
Comment

Pro
 Great for coffee connoisseurs

The Mocaster operates at 196–205º F, allowing it to extract the best possible flavor from your ground coffee. The extraction is further improved by the per-immersion drip-style system, which helps the coffee bloom. This creates a drink that has a deep flavor and feels very smooth to drink, but isn't overpowering.
Comment

Pro
 Stylish design

Stylish minimalist semi-retro design.
Comment

Pro
 Keeps the brewed coffee at an optimal temperature

The Moccamaster uses a hotplate, which keeps the brewed coffee warm and ready for drinking. You can set it to either 175º F or 185º F (for those who prefer it hot).
Comment

Pro
 You won't need a specialized coffee grinder

The Moccamaster is best used with medium ground coffee, allowing you to choose almost any burr grinder to go along with it. This is because most burr grinders can produce very consistent medium grinds.
Comment

Con
 Not completely free of harmful substances

This coffee maker has a few plastic parts containing BPA, which can be a deal breaker for people who want their appliances to be completely free of harmful substances. Fortunately, these parts never touch the water or the coffee grounds, so you won't ever need to worry about any BPA ending up in your coffee.
Comment

Pro
 Helps you avoid heat damage

This coffee maker's hotplate switches off automatically after 1 hour and 40 minutes, preventing burned coffee. Additionally, if the water tank is empty, the float switch will keep the water heater from turning on and damaging itself.
Comment

Pro
 Can be positioned easily

The power cord of The Moccamaster is considerably longer than those of most coffee makers. This allows you to reach the outlet from anywhere on your counter-top or in the kitchen.
Comment

Con
 Need to be careful when handling the glass carafe

The glass carafe is very frail and a strong enough tap on the counter will make it crack. You also have to pour the coffee carefully, so the coffee doesn't spill over the sides.
Comment

Pro
 Great for people who want to skip the tedious steps of making coffee

This coffee maker uses a capsule system, which removes some of the required steps for making a delicious cup of coffee. You won't need to select beans or grind them, all you need to do is choose the capsule flavor, input one of the 6 preset settings on the touchscreen and pour a cup of coffee.
Comment

Pro
 Saves time when making coffee

This coffee maker uses a fast-heating thermoblock, which allows you to make coffee in 25 seconds and milk drinks in 40 seconds.
Comment

Con
 More expensive in the long run

The Nespresso capsules cost more than buying high quality coffee beans in bulk. Over time the difference in price will considerably add up. While there are cheaper capsules available, none of them deliver the same taste as the Nespresso capsules.
Comment

Con
 Can only be used with capsules

You won't be able to use regular coffee with this coffee maker. This can be quite inconvenient if you ever forget to restock the capsules, since most stores don't sell them.
Comment

Pro
 Won't make you waste your milk

Some coffee makers have a milk container that can't be removed. Fortunately, this coffee maker has a removable milk carafe, allowing you to store the leftover milk in the fridge for later use.
Comment

Pro
 Can make a decent variety of drinks

You can choose between ristretto, espresso, lungo, cappuccino, and latte. You can also pour just hot milk or hot water for use with tea.
Comment

Con
 Can be difficult to position

This coffee maker has a short power cord (17.7"/45cm), which requires you to position it very close to an outlet. If there's no handy spot on the counter with an outlet nearby, you'll be forced to use an extension cord.
Comment

Con
 You can't make a latte without foam

This coffee maker has no setting for making a latte without foam. You can only choose between a small or a large amount of foam.
Comment

Pro
 Wide selection of filter options

Since this is one of the most popular brewers out there, both at home and in cafes, you have many options for filters, both from Hario, and from other sellers.
Comment

Pro
 Makes excellent coffee with practice

Comment

Con
 Requires practice

You can make some truly horrible coffee with the v60. You need to find a good recipe and practice at it for a while before you're getting both consistent and good coffee.
Comment

Pro
 Great for espresso enthusiasts who like to drink more than just espresso

The DeLonghi Magnifica is an espresso machine, but it’s not limited to just making espresso. It can make any coffee drink, including cappuccinos, lattes, regular coffee, and even frothy specialties.
Comment

Pro
 Great for people who dislike digital controls

The DeLonghi Magnifica uses manually operated dials to input settings. These are more reliable than the digital controls found most new coffee makers, which can feel unresponsive and malfunction more often.
Comment

Con
 The built-in grinder operates loudly

The DeLonghi Magnifica's built-in grinder is very loud, so you have to be careful when operating it early in the morning or late at night, since it will most likely wake up anyone sleeping in the nearby rooms.
Comment

Pro
 Makes serving multiple cups easier

The DeLonghi Magnifica has a hot plate at the top, which allows you to keep multiple cups at the same temperature. This helps when serving your guests, because the first cup won't cool down before the others, allowing everyone to enjoy the same great taste.
Comment

Pro
 Saves you space on the counter-top

Not only is the DeLonghi Magnifica smaller than most espresso machines, but it also has a built in burr coffee grinder. This gives it the functionality of both a coffee grinder and a coffee maker, so you won’t need to get a separate coffee grinder.
Comment

Pro
 You won't ever need to wait for it to drain fully

Most cold brew coffee makers have to drain fully before you can pour coffee, which can take well over a day. Trying to remove the carafe before then will cause the coffee to spill. This coffee maker has a switch that allows you to start or stop draining coffee. It also has volume markings to let you know when there's enough coffee for a single cup.
Comment

Pro
 Looks better than most cold brew coffee makers

Cold brew coffee makers often look like they're made out of cheap plastic. This coffee maker has a nice looking design and glass parts, which will make it fit in with most kitchen appliances.
Comment

Pro
 Enhances flavor

The OXO Cold Brew Coffee Maker has a well-designed perforated lid that distributes water evenly and allows fresh coffee to bloom. Allowing your coffee to bloom for half a minute, depending on how fresh the roast is, will improve its flavor.
Comment

Con
 Needs to be cleaned often

This coffee maker produces a lot of static electricity, causing residue to easily stick to its parts. You'll have to clean it often so the residue doesn't start affecting the flavor of your coffee. It's not dishwasher safe either, so you'll have to do it by hand.
Comment

Con
 Takes up too much space

The carafe's footprint is too large, which makes it hard to fit in most fridge doors. You have to store it on one of the main shelves, but it can be a tight fit in smaller fridges where you don't have as much space between shelves.
Comment

Con
 Tends to clog when using a paper filter

The draining speed will slow down considerably with a paper filter. Coarse coffee helps to alleviate this, but fine coffee will immediately clog it.
Comment

Pro
 Consistent brewing

Comment

Pro
 Quick brewing

Comment

Pro
 Automatic coffee maker and burr grinder in 1

Grind control by cup, 2-12 cups; strength control, burr grinder automatically grinds before brewing; 8oz bean hopper, gold tone filter.
Comment

Pro
 Charcoal filter

Comment

Pro
 24 hr fully Programmable

Comment

Con
 Difficult to visually determine how much coffee is in the thermal carafe

The thermal carafe is not transparent and has no viewing window, making it difficult to visually determine how much coffee is left. Switching to a glass (or non-thermal) carafe isn't ideal because of the hot plate — it shuts off after the coffee is done brewing, so the coffee won't stay warm in non-thermal carafes.
Comment

Pro
 Saves some time

This cold brew coffee maker has a larger capacity than most others, allowing you to make more coffee concentrate for later use, which means you won't need to brew coffee as often.
Comment

 Very cost efficient

This cold brew coffee maker uses a lot less coffee than others, allowing you to make more coffee concentrate with the same amount of ground coffee.

Con
 You need to be careful when using it, so you don't knock it over

This coffee maker has a narrow carafe and is not as stable as some others, making it more likely to be knocked over and potentially spill your coffee concentrate.
Comment

Con
 The filter needs care to prevent molding

You have to rinse the filter and store it in a water container inside the fridge. Other filters wouldn't require this amount of care.
Comment

Con
 Uses uncommon paper filters

This cold brew coffee maker uses large paper filters. These can't be bought in stores and can only be ordered online, causing you to spend extra on shipping costs.

 Great for camping

The Bialetti Moka Pot gives you an easy way to make coffee on a camping trip. It's made using extremely durable aluminum, allowing it to take quite a beating. It can be heated using a portable gas stove, so you won't need a separate water heater, but you should avoid setting it on a campfire, since the coffee won't turn out so great due to the uneven heat distribution.

 Makes very strong tasting coffee

This coffee maker can produce coffee with an exceptionally strong taste, which surpasses coffee made by any drip coffee maker, but falls slightly short of a true espresso. This taste is achieved thanks to the pot's design and the way the coffee is brewed.

 Very easy to clean

This coffee maker has a very simple design and can be easily disassembled and cleaned. You should only clean it by hand since it will get damaged inside a dishwasher.
Comment

Con
 Have to be careful when using it on a cook top

The Bialetti Moka Pot's base is smaller than most burners found on kitchen cook tops. Because of this, the leftover heat causes the handle to get hot and can burn your hand, if you're not paying attention or aren't using a mitt.

 Unique design is a conversation starter

The Hario Technica is a very flashy, unique-looking coffee maker, making it a great conversation starter especially in social gatherings. The brewing process alone is its own spectacle: resembling a science experiment more than making coffee. This is because the Hario Technica uses an open flame to force water up through the filter and mix with the coffee. When the flame is put out, a vacuum is created that force filters the coffee by pulling it down into the container that originally contained water.

 Brews a clean and flavorful taste

It produces a cleaner and more flavorful cup of coffee because of the cloth filter used, which is better than traditional paper filters. The method of making a cup of coffee using a siphon works on the principle of a vacuum. The process starts when the vacuum pressure caused by heating the water up and cooling it down pulls the water through the coffee grounds and through the cloth coffee filter.

Pro
 Makes more coffee than most pressurized coffee makers

Unlike other pressurized coffee makers which can only produce one cup at a time, the Hario Technica utilizes the concept of a vacuum to produce a similar flavorful coffee but in higher volumes. This means that you can spend less time making everyone a cup of coffee and more time enjoying it.

Con
 Expensive coffee filters

The cloth filter of the coffee siphon is semi-reusable, but it requires special care if you are planning to use it multiple times. Replacement filters cost around $6 for a pack of five.
Comment

Con
 Can take awhile to make the coffee

It can take a long time to prepare a cup of coffee using the Hario Technica since the water is heated inside the unit using an alcohol lamp. There are butane burners and halogen lamps though which are available to speed up the process.
Comment

Con
 Can break easily

Although made from a relatively strong kind of glass, the Hario Technica will break if dropped. With this, you have to be careful where you put it down because its round shape makes it susceptible to roll away. Also, do not toss it in the dishwasher because it is not dishwasher-safe.

 This coffeemaker is very simple to use

A coffee maker doesn't get much simpler than a pour over. If you learn to do it right, you can get some really good coffee.

 Reusable filter

This coffeemaker comes with a stainless steel mesh filter that you can use more than once. Some people feel that it allows water to flow through the whole thing too quickly. Those people have found that you can just put a paper filter inside of the metal filter and be pretty happy.
Comment

Con
 Very basic coffeemaker with no additional features

You can't program this to make coffee for you in the morning before you go to bed. In fact, this is basically just a funnel and a basin.
Comment

Con
 Cools down very quickly

The carafe is made entirely out of glass, causing heat to dissipate very fast. If you want to keep your coffee hot, you'll need a coffee warmer.
