Here’s How to Find the Best Coffee Maker

Popular Types of Coffee Makers

There are almost as many different types of coffee makers as there are ways to drink coffee. Here are the most popular types to choose from in Canada.

Buying Considerations

Once you’ve narrowed down your coffee maker options, consider these factors, which can affect your device’s utility, appearance and cost.

Design

A coffee maker is almost always visible in the kitchen. Accordingly, it makes sense to choose one that complements your décor and appliances in colour and style. Also consider the coffee maker’s dimensions to ensure it will fit on your counter or can be stored when not in use

Functionality

Coffee makers can brew between 1 to 16 cups of coffee at once. Consider how much coffee your household will use at peak times, including entertaining. Look for features that suit your lifestyle, like adjustable brew strength, permanent (zero waste) filters, and auto-clean or auto-off functions, for example

Budget

Since there are so many different styles and features available, coffee makers vary widely in price. To get the best value for your purchase, make sure the machine you choose includes the features you need the most. Also, be sure to check the length of warranty before purchasing
