5 Of The Best Automatic Drip Coffee Makers In 2020
With so many coffee machines available today, choosing the right brand or model to meet your needs can be a very confusing and difficult task! However, if you know which features you find most useful and how many cups you regularly brew and drink each day, this knowledge will help lessen your confusion.
Brew-thru carafe is the latest trend in the automatic drip coffee maker machines. If you’re always on the go and want fresh-brewed coffee taste anytime, this will prove to be your most expensive alternative, but on the plus side, it can retain flavor and heat for long hours.
The water filtration system is also an attractive new feature. Choose this if you want to get rid of bacteria, contaminants, chemicals and the taste of chlorine that can compromise your coffee flavor. There are some brands available that carry this new health-conscious feature.
With that in mind, here are what I choose to be 5 of the best automatic drip coffee makers available in 2012:
1. Keurig K-Classic Coffee Maker
If you love “K-cups”, the K-Classic is a gourmet single-cup coffee maker that whips up coffee in about 45 seconds. It has three cup size options: a small mug which is about 6 ounces, a medium mug which is about 8 ounces and large mug which is about 10 ounces. Coffee lovers prefer the “K-cup” brewers because they are fast and easy to clean. Keurig K-Classic has a removable 48-ounce clear water reservoir and also has a drip tray that is easy to remove and drain (if you happen to spill some coffee while preparing it).
2. Cuisinart SS-20 Coffee Center 10-Cup Thermal Single-Serve Brewer Coffeemaker
If you want a versatile electric drip coffee maker that brews two different ways, this one is the perfect choice. This machine features a stylish and sleek profile and can brew directly into a 10-cup carafe or into one mug for a single person! It has a 24-hour programmable timer and a bright digital display. Filling the unit with water is easy using the thermal carafe and the correct numbers of cups can be determined through the clear cup marker on the side of the unit. I own this unit and it works wonderfully.
3. Black and Decker Programmable Coffee Maker
This beautifully styled 12-cup programmable coffee maker has all the necessities and some extras that are perfect for the family. QuickTouch Programming buttons make it easy to set the 24-hour auto brew feature and shave some time off of your morning routine. Other useful features include Sneak-A-Cup Technology, the 12-cup Duralife glass carafe, a two hour auto shutoff timer and a washable brew basket.
4. Bonavita BV1900TS 8-Cup One-Touch Coffee Maker With Thermal Carafe
The Bonavita machine has an easy one touch brew with an auto-off feature. It also has a powerful and precise 1500-watt heater which maintains an optimal brewing temperature of 195°-205°F (91°-96°C). There is an optional pre-infusion mode which wets freshly roasted ground coffee to allow degassing before brewing begins. Its flat-bottomed filter basket and larger water shower-head allow for more even water distribution which provides optimal flavor for your coffee. The durable stainless steel lined thermal carafe will keep your coffee hot for approximately 4 hours!
5. Salton 2-in-1 Single Serve Coffee Maker
Quick brew coffee for for people on the go is the basic function of this coffee maker. This coffee machine brews one hot coffee (6 – 14 oz) and will accommodate a travel mug up to 7″ tall. It uses k-cups or a ground coffee filter basket (included) and is easy to switch between the two. There is a built-in self cleaning feature to ensure you have the freshest and best tasting coffee. The water reservoir is single serving size – up to 14 ounces – perfect for those on the go.
While these are all excellent automatic coffee machines, I personally have chosen the Keurig because it meets all of my needs!
So take inventory of your wants and needs and perhaps one of these automatic coffee machines will fit nicely into your life-style!
