Savor Your Morning Brew & Make It A Ritual With These 7 Drip Coffee Makers

Technology may have yet to catch up with your dreams of having coffee directly deposited into your veins, but if the best part of waking up is java in your cup, it might be worth investing in a drip coffee maker. Initially invented to automate the pour-over coffee making process, these machines can yield cup after cup of your favorite brew with little effort on your part. Given that the National Coffee Association estimates that Americans drink an average of three cups of coffee per day—so, nearly 1,100 cups per year—isn’t it about time you picked up a quality coffee machine? We think so too.

We’re here to spill the beans on the best drip coffee makers on the market, but if you simply can’t get enough, check out our recommendations for the best cold brew and single-serve coffee makers.

How we picked these products

You ready to rise and grind? To find the best drip coffee makers, we consulted our friends at the Good Housekeeping Institute. Their team of on-staff experts—which includes all types: engineers! data analysts! registered dietitians!—rigorously put everyday products to the test (and then more and more tests) in their New York City-based labs to determine which ones you can trust. They evaluated the drip coffee makers on a variety of factors, including performance, ease of use and assembly, temperature consistency, cleanability, noise level during operation, features, and, of course, taste.
