The Best Coffee Makers of 2024 to Keep You Going

While the rest of the machines on this list don’t necessarily warrant a best of label, they’ve still got our stamp of approval. In fact, we think serious coffee connoisseurs will love the Ratio Eight Coffee Maker, which can mimic the rich flavor of handmade pour-over coffee. And if your kitchen has a retro design scheme, our pick from Illy will easily fit your vibe. Shop those picks and more of the best coffee makers you can buy below:

The Keurig K-Duo Plus Single Serve & Carafe Coffee Maker is versatile for a single-serve coffee maker. It has a multiposition removable water tank that can be placed on the right, left, or back of the machine and it’s programmable, so the auto brew can be set up to 24 hours in advance. It also has the capability to pull a single brew or a whole carafe depending on your company.

If you want to hone your barista skills, impress your friends and family members, and spend less time at the coffee shop, consider the De’Longhi Magnifica Evo Coffee and Espresso Machine. Not only does it brew delicious coffee, but the high-quality machine can also make espresso, cappuccinos, macchiatos, lattes, and any of that over ice. The LatteCrema System technology uses a manual froth maker to create textured art, and the frother can be used with regular milk and alternative milks.

In addition, the coffee and espresso maker has a conical burr grinder with 13 settings, but it can be bypassed to use ground coffee instead to make a pot or cup of coffee. Even though the programmable coffee and espresso machine has a lot of functions, using it is a breeze, thanks to the color touch icons on the top of the coffee brewer.

Our list includes espresso machines that can also make coffee. However, this is a coffee maker that can also make espresso drinks. In fact, it can make drip coffee, espresso, red eye, iced coffee, iced latte, and café au lait—and that’s just a partial list of the many drinks the Terra Kaffe TK-02 Connected Super Automatic Espresso Machine can whip up. The machine has an integrated bean grinder, but also accepts pre-ground coffee as well. The grinder has five settings, which is fewer than many other coffee makers with grinders, but nevertheless, provides some degree of adjustability. The grinder also automatically adjusts the grind depending on the type of drink and the bean’s weight.

It’s not just cool-looking, this coffee maker is also designed to function like a drip coffee maker that mimics the depth of flavor of handmade pour-over coffee, and it does so quite well (giving your favorite coffee shop some serious competition).

Made with hand-assembled premium materials, the Ratio Eight coffee maker consists of precision-machine aluminum, a handblown borosilicate glass carafe and supply lines, hardwood, and a stainless steel showerhead. You can also get the model with the thermal carafe (although it’s almost $200 more). The power cord is detachable, which makes it easy to store on your countertop, and, though it looks complex, it’s really easy to operate. Touch one button to turn it on, and that’s all you’ll need to do until the coffee is ready. The coffee maker goes through a sequence of phases: bloom, brew, and ready.ts me see and smell the brewing process without having to manually brew the coffee.

The Illy X1 Anniversary ESE & Ground Espresso Machine has a semi-retro, semi-futuristic design, which makes it look like it could blend in on the set of a ’70s sitcom. This fun little machine also has old-fashioned knobs for adjusting the machine’s temperature, programming volumes, etc., and the display shows the temperature as a dial, along with various other icons.

The stainless-steel coffee maker can use both ground coffee and compostable ESE (easy serving espresso) pods. It has a single filter, double filter, and filter holder, plus it can be used with espresso cups and coffee mugs as well. Other features, like the ergonomic handle and water level indicator on the front, add to the retro design and ease of use. The steam wand can be used to froth milk for cappuccinos and lattes, and is also able to dispense hot water for tea, soup, and hot chocolate. The machine heats up fast and produces a rich, smooth, and balanced cup.

The Nespresso Vertuo Lattissima can brew a variety of sizes, including espresso, double espresso, gran lungo, mug, XL (12 ounces) and an 18-ounce carafe. In addition to one-touch coffee and espresso brewing, the user-friendly machine has three different one-touch buttons for making cappuccino, latte macchiato, and hot foam. Regarding the Vertuo Lattissima’s capacity, it has a 54-ounce water tank, 15-ounce milk jug, and the used capsule compartment can hold 10 small capsules or six large ones.

Luckily, for having such generous containers, the machine doesn’t take up much space, and the matte black and glossy design looks stylish on any countertop (though it’s also available in white). The machine only uses Nespresso Vertuo capsules, but this line of capsules is extensive and includes such blends as roasted hazelnut, sweet vanilla, golden caramel, and rich chocolate.

The Wolf Gourmet Coffee Maker has a carafe made of thermal stainless steel to keep your coffee warm, and with a basket that loads from the front, there’s no issue with bumping into the upper cabinets.

It also has two knobs that ensure the most pristine coffee-making experience: the top knob allows for you to select from a series of brew mode, but we especially love the Accu-Brew mode, which ensures perfects grounds to water ratios. The bottom knob is used to set the clock, program the coffee cycle, and choose the cup quantity. In addition to displaying the time, the panel shows the coffee scale, brewing status, and time since brew (up to an hour), and it also reminds you to change the water filter. The water reservoir is detachable for easy filling and cleaning, and there’s a detachable water filter (in case your tap water is less than desirable). Wolf does a perfect job of extracting just the right amount of flavor for a quality coffee-drinking experience.

For just under $100, The Mr. Coffee 10 Cup Thermal Programmable Coffee Maker provides an excellent product that’s designed to compete with higher-end models. The stainless-steel carafewas another nice feature usually reserved for more expensive machines (they can keep coffee hot for hours without the need for a hot plate). The water reservoir can be removed, which makes it easier to fill and clean.
