Need Help with the Best Drip Coffee Maker 2026?

I’m pretty happy with my Bonavita. You want to get the Enthusiast model with the insulated carafe and filter holder that slides in to the brewer.

Recs for someone who had their heart set on an Aiden

I've got an Aiden, which makes delicious coffee. I only use the medium roast built-in profile. I find the day-to-day usage somewhat glitchy. It sometimes thinks it needs water, when it already has plenty - I do not know if you would be able to detect the 'add water' alert without being able to see t

Need Help with the Best Drip Coffee Maker 2026?

I just purchased a Bonavita Enthusiast 8 cup for $150 off of Amazon. I know your question is the best, but this is a great machine for the money.

Need Help with the Best Drip Coffee Maker 2026?

2nd vote for the enthusiast. I toyed with something more expensive but decided to go with the Bonavita and its been a great choice so far. No frills, removable tank, and simply makes a good cup meeting the sca certification.

Recommendations for best budget drip coffee makers?

I have the same, solid brewer. I have a Moccamaster at work and it's an upgrade over the enthusiast, but the Bonavita was a bargain, bought when Kohls stocked them a few years ago and it's been problem free.

[MOD] The Daily Question Thread

IMHO, a good drip machine is the way to go when brewing larger batches for guests. Less faffing around, easier to pay attention to your guests. If you are in the US, the Bonavita Enthusiast is only $150 on Amazon. If you don’t mind a glass carafe and hot plate, the Breville Precision Brewer w/ glass

[MOD] The Daily Question Thread

My pleasure! 😊 I've owned both the Ninja CE251 and the Bonavita Enthusiast--they both make great coffee! The Bonavita is fast and more compact than the Ninja. I also own that KitchenAid grinder--it's a great grinder, especially for the $99 price of the certified refurbished model. It's better than a

For a drip machine, the Bonavita Enthusiast for $150 is a fantastic option.

Quality Home Filter Coffee Maker

I have a Bonavita that I like but it may be bit over your price range. It's the Bonavita Enthusiast 8 Cup Drip Coffee Brewer. I paid around $150 USD for it. It doesn't have any fancy features like a timer to automatically brew in the morning, for example, but it does make a pretty tasty pot of coffe

Good coffee maker that doesn’t break within a year?

I agree with the Bonavita recommendation. Currently have the Enthusiast and love it (the removable water tank makes life just a little easier). Had a smaller version for several years before it stopped working well.
