Best Coffee Makers for Brewing Performance (2024)

Unusually, this device can brew up to 1.8 liters, which is certainly a lot of coffee for the home.

In the UK version, they've done something kind of annoying with the water tank.

The carafe is a thermal carafe, which is good.

This machine has an auto-start feature, and sometimes I grind my coffee before going to bed.

I do think it's very intuitive in terms of the features here and using the control panel.

You need to pull this out every time in order to clean it properly.

It's a very sage product. It looks like a sage product, and it feels like a safe product.

The brushed metals they use, the kind of plastics, and the whole design aesthetic are very sage.

In the UK version, they've done something kind of annoying with the water tank.

If there is one thing about this coffee maker, it is that it kind of vibrates when it's brewing.

The pump vibrates; it's not loud or super annoying. It's just kind of like, 'Oh, it's vibrating the whole time.'

The coffee maker has been running somewhat consistently; you can hear a pump running.

I decided it was time to get a larger French Press, so I went with the Espro.

I've already used this for two weeks, so let's get into it.

It is super easy to insert. It does have that pour spout that you want to have in the right place, and it goes down so smoothly.

It's so easy and quick to clean. Just snap it together, and it's good to go.

When you open it up, you see just how beautiful and high-quality it is.

I am confident this will be our French press for the next 10 years.

It silently pushes down instead of scraping.

My favorite part is how easy and quiet it is to push down.

You can enjoy up to 10 cups of your customized coffee with this coffee maker.

It allows you to start brewing at a preset time.

This coffee maker has built-in Wi-Fi and works with the Smart HQ app, Alexa, and Google.

It has an auto-brew setting that allows you to customize your brew with parameters for temperature and strength.

It stands 14 inches tall, 7.3 inches wide, and 12.5 inches deep.

It comes in a variety of finishes, allowing you to make your coffee in style.

There are no specific sentences regarding the noise level.

The machine also comes with a cleaning kit.

The first shot from this brew group also gets hot over time.

The second thing is a little bit unfortunate.

For the most part, it's incredibly easy to use.

It is really easy to wipe down.

It's a beautiful machine, very handsome on the countertop.

It's built like a tank, and its longevity is evident now.

The components are not plasticky, but they are made of plastic.

It has the same heating element as the older machine.

It's quiet when grinding.

It's really quite sputtery.

If I want to top up a drink, I'm going to make a mess for you guys.

The Toddy is designed for those who like to brew in bulk.

This will hold about a pound of coffee, equivalent to 9 cups or 2.13 liters of water.

It might be a bit bulkier in appearance, but that extra size means you can prepare a good amount of cold brew to last throughout the week.

It's a really easy and convenient way to make cold brew at home.

The Toddy setup is a bit more involved, especially with the draining process.

If you did not use those, then obviously you're going to have a fun time trying to clean this out.

The newer models come with a nice lid.

Lastly, you have the actual glass carafe, which is really nice.

These are quite expensive, and they won't be readily available at most local grocery stores.

The Toddy Cold Brew System operates quietly.

There is no noise during the brewing process.

This is suitable for quiet environments.

Little ones take 24 grams of coffee, and how many ounces would that be? It would be 13 and a half.

This is the 155 model, and the big ones take 42 and 700 milliliters.

The 185 model can handle up to 24 ounces.

The ridges keep the filter from clinging to the side and give it a place for the water to flow down.

Pre-moisten the filter, and let's hit the GS Rio's with a nice big bow.

Standard, let's do our thing. We're going to tear the zone, right?

They have focused on creating glass versions, as well as stainless steel and ceramic options, right?

The bridges are here. Once you talk about those, the ridges keep the filter from clinging to the side.

Stainless and ceramic, right? Yeah, the bridges are here once you talk about them.

The Kalita pour-over is nice, all right.

Your coffee is very hot and tastes good. Which one was it, Java Blender?

That was our first past career view of the Khalida pour-over, which is nice.

I've got the 12-cup size, the 8-cup, the 4-cup, and the 3-cup.

When I say a cup, I'm referring to 4 ounces.

That's how easy it is to make a classic cup of French press coffee with the original French press.

Spend a little time experimenting with it, because that's how you're going to get your perfect cup of coffee.

The glass carafe is important; you want a well-designed one because that's how you'll ensure you can get a really decent cup of coffee.

We have the stainless steel, and here we have the copper finish.

No noise level issues are mentioned because it is a manual French press.

The process is quiet because it involves manual brewing.

There is a large removable water reservoir on the back.

The drip tray is absolutely tiny. I would highly recommend emptying it after every use just to be safe.

It has a pretty small footprint, as you can see here. It features thermojet technology, which is just incredible.

Not including a dedicated hot water outlet was a mistake.

Despite its relatively toyish appearance, the build quality is good, incorporating real metal and tight tolerances.

One thing that felt notably cheaper was the portafilter.

Press the steam button, and we'll see how quickly it works. Look at how much power it has—it's incredible. It also has the automatic purge feature.

Listen, listen, listen. Pump kicks on full force, okay? It's at full force.
