The Hottest Coffee Makers: Reviews and Comprehensive Buying Guide [2020]

Versatility doesn’t always equal quality. But this Ninja coffee machine proved us wrong on all counts. It lets you brew coffee and steep teas, and boil water for hot beverages like cocoa and even instant soups. More importantly, it brews hot coffee at 200F which is the perfect temperature as it gives you coffee that tastes rich and full-bodied.

But that’s not all! This coffee maker lets you cold brew teas and coffee over ice as well. Instead of waiting overnight for your cold brews, you can have sweet, smooth-tasting, and icy cold brew drinks in just 10 or 15 minutes.

The unit is also intelligent and will recognize the basket you use and display the appropriate tea/coffee options. Moreover, the variety the coffee maker is off the charts; there are 6 brew size options so you can make anything from a cup of coffee to a full carafe.

There are also 5 different brewing styles: classic, specialty, rich, over ice, and cold brew. You can easily make different drinks based on preferences when making coffee for large groups at a party.

Keurig has been a big name in the world of coffeemakers, so it’s no surprise they made it on the list. This is a pretty compact unit but is impressive nonetheless.

Besides brewing super-hot and steaming coffee, it also includes a filter and water filter handle to make sure your coffee tastes fresh and perfect. This coffee machine brews multiple sizes of beverages (6, 8, 10, or 12 Ounces). It also uses Quiet Brew Technology which keeps things nice and quiet when making your coffee.

Furthermore, it has a large, 52-ounce water tank, which allows you to make several cups of coffee before it needs to be refilled. On top of that, it also functions as a hot water dispenser, which you can use for making tea, instant ramen, and soups. But what was striking was the simple and user-friendly interface of this coffee machine.

The coffeemaker is extremely easy to use. You just have to insert the pod you want, select the brew size, and press a button to start the brewing process. Wait a few minutes and you’ll have a thick, steaming cup of coffee ready!

This Cuisinart coffeemaker is perfect because it is focused on two aspects: functionality and efficiency. The unit looks simple, yet sophisticated and is very durable, thanks to the stainless-steel design.

It comes with a 12-cup carafe and it also has a dispenser for just hot water. Like all other Cuisinart coffee makers, it features 24-hour programmability, brew pause, and carafe temperature control so you can customize your piping hot coffee just the way you want.

The water system adds to the convenience, giving you instant access to hot water. This allows you to steep tea, make instant hot chocolate, soup, noodles, or oatmeal. You can use the hot water system separately from the coffeemaker, or even use both at the same time for a quick breakfast or snack!

The indicator lights let you know when the water is hot and also when the tank needs to be refilled. Since the unit has no plastic, it is BPA-free and very safe to use. The coffee machine also uses charcoal filters to remove impurities and keep your coffee tasting great.

Ever wanted coffee, only to realize you ran out of K-Cups? This coffeemaker solves the problem for you because it is a 2-in-1 appliance that works with both K-Cups and ground coffee. Two button options let you choose which kind of coffee to brew.

Furthermore, it uses a unique copper heating element to boil the water which keeps it at 196 to 205F at all times; perfect for the best-tasting coffee! It also switches off by itself when the water tank is empty, so it is very safe and won’t overheat.

All the components of this coffee maker are durable and BPA-free. The carafe itself is sturdy and can withstand the temperature of boiling hot coffee without cracking or shattering.

This Ninja coffee maker is very similar to our Editor’s Choice. It has a dual system so you can brew both hot and cold coffees, and comes with a variety of brew choices.

Moreover, you can brew your tea or coffee in many different sizes, ranging from a regular-sized coffee cup to a travel mug and even a carafe.

Because you can fold them into the coffee machine after you’re done using them, you will have extra storage space.

Like the CP307 model, this coffee maker also has a basket recognition system so the coffeemaker recognizes what you want to brew. The water reservoir is easy to remove and fill, which in turn makes it easy to clean as well.

So what’s the difference between the two? The only difference between the two is that the CP307 comes with a thermal carafe, while the CP301 comes with a glass carafe.

This means that the CP307’s carafe is specifically meant to withstand cooling and keep the coffee hot for longer. The glass carafe, on the other hand, will cool normally.

This machine is unique because it also dispenses hot water. You can get hot water if you run the machine without inserting a coffee pod and use it to make tea or instant meals.

The machine also offers a degree of variety and you can use it to serve drinks like hot cocoa and even beverages served over ice. It is easy to use and requires minimal maintenance.

Single-serve coffeemakers are great but they can’t really feed a crowd. So what do you do if you need lots and lots of steaming hot coffee at a dinner party or buffet?

This stainless-steel coffee maker is your answer. Since it was meant for commercial use, it can brew a huge amount of coffee (4 Gallons) in just 40 minutes and keep it piping hot.

Although this can seem threatening, like a recipe for disaster, the machine stops brewing and switches off automatically and keeps the coffee warm for hours afterward. Moreover, the body is durable and resistant to rust and won’t break down over time.

There is no need for filters as the machine uses a 304 SS basket. All the components are safe; from the food-grade stainless steel and the BPA-free tap to the heat resistant handle on the top of the dispenser.

The coffee maker is made for catering events both at home and for work or community events. You just have to push the non-drip tap to dispense the coffee.

The temperature sensors make sure your coffee is brewed at the perfect temperature, which prevents both weak, under-extracted coffee and a bitter over-extracted brew.

There is also a multi-serve dial that lets you choose the size of your drink. Long story short, this coffee maker makes sure your coffee will always be fresh and hot!
