Technivorm Moccamaster KBGV Select

The enthusiast favorite: hand-built in the Netherlands, SCA-certified, brews at the ideal temperature and lasts for decades with replaceable parts. Expensive, and it lacks a timer, but the coffee and longevity are the benchmark.

3 pros · 2 cons

OXO Brew 9-Cup Coffee Maker

The best value pick and Wirecutter's longtime favorite: SCA-certified brewing, a programmable timer and a compact footprint at a mid-range price. The all-rounder most people should buy.

3 pros · 2 cons

Breville Precision Brewer

The most flexible machine: it hits SCA standards but also offers cold-brew, pour-over and custom modes, plus full control over temperature and bloom. Best for tinkerers who want one machine to do everything.

3 pros · 2 cons

Braun BrewSense Drip Coffee Maker (KF7000)

The best budget buy: it brews a genuinely good, hot cup for well under $100, with a programmable timer and an anti-drip carafe. Plastic build, but it punches far above its price.

3 pros · 2 cons

Ratio Six

The design-forward statement piece: glass, steel and wood styling, one-button simplicity and a certified, pour-over-like brew. You pay a premium for the looks, but the coffee is genuinely excellent.

3 pros · 2 cons

Bonavita Connoisseur 8-Cup (One-Touch)

A no-nonsense SCA-certified brewer with a powerful heater and a pre-infusion mode, focused on brew quality over features. A longtime enthusiast value pick, though availability comes and goes.

3 pros · 2 cons

Cuisinart PerfecTemp 14-Cup (DCC-3200)

The best big-batch, feature-loaded option: a large 14-cup capacity, adjustable brew temperature and strength, and a self-clean cycle. A crowd-pleaser for busy households that value convenience over purist brew specs.

3 pros · 2 cons

Ninja Programmable XL 14-Cup (CE251)

The best cheap high-capacity brewer: 14 cups, adjustable brew strength, a small-batch setting and a keep-warm plate, all for a very low price. Build is basic but the value is excellent for families.
