The Fellow Aiden Precision Coffee Maker, the Zojirushi Zutto 5-Cup Drip Coffeemaker, the OXO Brew 9-Cup Coffee Maker, the Moccamaster KBGV Select Coffee Maker and the Mr. Coffee Perfect Brew. We asked three typical coffee drinkers to put these five home coffee makers to the test to see which one (if any) are worth their price tag. Which coffee maker is best? Let’s ask the Focus Group.

None of those, I want to put water in it, put the coffee in and turn it on and leave it. I don’t want any fancy dials or all that BS.

If you’re looking to buy something and Zojirushi makes one, just buy it.

Unless you are James Hoffman, the only thing that actually changes brew quality is the grinder. $80 for a Kingrinder and a $50 drip machine will get you 95% of the way to a four-figure Reddit setup. You can adjust the grind size to match the extraction of any machine and fix the too acidic/too bitter/too weak complaints in the video.

you didn’t set up the moccamaster beforehand…

Just to add to the chorus, I’ve had a Moccamaster for 20 years, and it’s pretty clear there’s still nothing that comes close for an electric drip machine. I prefer the insulated steel carafe, however; no coffee should be sitting on a hot plate, plus it’s more durable.

Pour over set-ups are tastier, cheaper and easier to clean than these contraptions

The best coffee maker remains a ceramic pour over topper for your coffee mug. And it’s also the easiest.

Unsubscribed. Hope the one click you got out of me was worth the click bait.

My SIEMENS Porsche Design TC-91100 looks great and has been brewing me perfect coffee for over 15 years now.

My son has the OXO, the start button makes me crazy and it takes me a couple of try’s to get it brewing. a friend has the mochamaster and it makes excellent coffee.

Your website is seriously so bad. I can barely use it. It doesn’t even function sometimes

Asking Americans about coffee is like asking a deaf person what’s their favourite record album.

These are the 3 dumbest people in the world. The Moccamaster is 2 pieces and they said it was complex.

Oxo’s 8-cup brewer would’ve been a better pick. But it still doesn’t live up to my Moccamaster.

Doing this without manuals for each is dumb, but then I thought maybe you did it that way for comedic results… But yeah no, not worth it, that was dumb

Love my Moccamaster, and their warranty is the best, bar none. Anything wrong, they fix or replace it. No questions asked.
