This article will discuss how we ranked the different cheap coffee makers on the market today. Since the price of coffee is very important to most people, there is a great demand for quality products. In all honesty, this isn’t the best cheap coffee maker around. But nonetheless, it still merits a place on the top 8 best cheap coffee maker list.

  • One of the best cheap coffee maker options available in the single-serve coffee maker. For under $20 most people can get a single-serve brewer that will brew a number of cups at once. These units allow you to brew one cup of coffee at a time and then use the pod to brew another. They work great if you are in a rush or on the go and don’t want to be bothered with brewing several more cups.
  • Another option available for under twenty bucks is a coffee maker known as a French press. The French press works by pouring hot water in through a small-sized filter. It traps sediment that would otherwise remain in the pot. The coffee sits in the filter and releases flavors from the water over time. If you don’t like the taste of coffee brewed with the French press, many models let you change the flavor by switching the paper filter.
  • For under a hundred dollars, you can get a Black and Decker Coffee Maker. The Black and Decker line of coffee machines includes features such as single-serve brewing power, brew-strength selection, and a variable brew time. The pros of these coffee machines include multiple brew strengths, a durable design, and an easy-clean design.
  • For under fifty dollars you can get a Home Coffee Maker. These single-serving machines use pre-measured coffee grounds and included a water reservoir and a touch button ignition. The cons of a Home Coffee Maker include a small cup size and no brew strength option. Some users also note an unsatisfactory taste in their cups.

If you are looking for a simple to use, programmable coffee maker but don’t want to pay too much, a programmable drip coffee maker may be your best bet. These types of units have a built-in water reservoir that allows you to set the desired brew strength, time, and other options. They are programmable and have a recall feature that lets you remember how many cups you’ve made so you don’t waste time making more than you intended. Most programmable drip coffee makers have a programmable clock or auto shut off feature that is great for the person who always oversights their coffee brewing. Some programs include a milk steamer, so you won’t have to waste time waiting for the crema to develop.
