Wake up to a better brew. (Photo: Amazon)
There's nothing like that first sip of coffee in the morning. Though, if your coffee maker is looking a little lackluster or running a bit slow, you may also taste a need for change. If it's time for an upgrade, you can find tons of options to fit the brew you crave — from good ol' fashioned drip machines to ones with all the bells and whistles. And for Amazon Prime Day, the deals are especially epic. Read on to find our top picks...
When you need instant gratification, a single-serve option might be the thing for you. Given 4.8 stars by a whopping 33,000-plus reviewers, this Keurig coffee maker brews anywhere from four to 12 ounces in mere minutes, giving you the java jolt you need — fast. Plus, it can make iced coffee or serve up hot water for tea and soup. One rave reviewer says it's "one of their best, and I have owned three."
With this machine, you get cafe-quality espresso with the push of a button. Over 10,000 five-star fans love how easy it is to use. It's even barista-approved! "I was a barista for three years and am extremely picky about coffee. I did a lot of research and finally landed on the Nespresso Vertuo Plus, and I have to say this might have been the best purchase I have ever made! I needed something that would satisfy my "boujee" coffee lifestyle but still give my partner the ability to have his lam..... I mean normal coffee. The price of the pods, milk and syrups are nothing in comparison to paying $5–7 for one latte 2–3 times a day." Plus, no waiting in line!
Thanks to a removable drip tray, this unit fits up to a seven-inch-tall travel mug so you can take the perfect pour with you anywhere. One frequent skeptic shares their enthusiasm: "Most purchases are either okay, indifferent, or just plain bad. Rarely do you make one that you find yourself REALLY happy over. This has been one of those rare purchases for me."
If you're looking for a basic model that is just plain reliable, look no further. "Sure, it doesn't have all the 'bells and whistles' of an expensive one," says one customer, "but it has everything us normal coffee drinkers would ever need. It does have the auto timer for those who like to make their coffee before going to bed. In summary, it is a great coffee maker at a great price."
Talk about all-in-one! With coffee and tea settings (and separate baskets for each — including loose leaf tea), hot or iced capability and single-serve or carafe-style brewing, you really can have it all with this machine. A fold-away frother aerates hot or cold milk for the perfect accessory.
Over 9,000 reviewers have given it five stars. A former coffee shop manager shares, "I am snobby about my coffee (and tea). Anyone who knows about the intricacies of balanced drip coffee flavor knows that a great deal depends on the TEMPERATURE of the brew. An ideal coffee brew should be brewed between 195° and 200°F. This machine delivers. Brewed at the perfect temperature, you can brew cheap coffee grounds or high-end fresh ground beans and both come out with outstanding well-balanced flavor."
DIY cold brew can save you tons of money in the long run and this six-cup carafe means you'll have plenty. of refills to get you through the day(s). Plus, the unit fits in most refrigerator doors, so you don't have to wrestle with last night's leftovers trying to squeeze it in.
Over 11,500 fans rave about this cold brew carafe, with one sharing, "Best investment I've ever made. I can make $6 coffee for only 10¢!! I bought two of these so I never run out."
Simple to use and outfitted with safety features to prevent overheating or spillage, this basic coffee maker is a "morning workhorse". This reviewer adds, "Pour some ground coffee here, water there, press a button and behold! A fine pot of coffee...I also own a Breville espresso machine, another coffee maker, a dozen various coffee beans and blends and am otherwise very much all about coffee and yet, this simple and affordable machine has become my daily go-to for my morning fix."
Nearly 36,000 five-star fans adore this small but mighty machine. One shares that it is "everything I want in a single-cup coffee maker," adding, "It has a small footprint, is easy to use, works with my preferred brands of coffee pods, and I do not have to wait for it to go through a warm-up cycle after turning it on. I drop in a pod, select a size and push start. 60 seconds later, I am enjoying my hot cup of coffee."
Whether you're craving a cappuccino, macchiato, latte or plain espresso, this little machine has got you covered. Compatible with both freshly ground beans or capsule pods and equipped with coffee shop–style frother, you'll become your own barista in no time.
Sometimes the typical 12 cups is juuuuust not enough. Enter this 14-cup model. It boasts a four-hour warming plate with adjustable temperature, so you can have it just to you liking any time you like. Plus, the machine has a sensor that alerts you when it's time to clean and descale the unit for optimal performance. One five-star reviewer shares, "Finally! No more dribble pot!...Enter the Calphalon coffee pot. It has an extra-wide pour spout that makes me smile every time I pour a cup."
