For 2026, stick with reliable drip machines like the Cuisinart PerfecTemp or Mr. Coffee programmable models. They're easy to clean, consistent, and cheap to maintain 👌
Our Cuisinart basic 14cup coffee maker from 2010 is still kicking along. I just replaced the permanent filter for the first time as our kid has been making coffee and squeesed the mesh a bit too much.
Other than the Mochamaster that others have mentioned, I’ve had a Cuisinart programmable 14 cup drip coffee maker for 6 years so far with no issues. I plan on getting the Mochamaster next.
Cuisinart 14-cup coffee maker. It is simple and it gets the job done and makes a good pot of coffee. Had the Oxo 9-cup before but I don't know if it was an older model or what but the rain cap on it would fall off and eventually get thrown away on accident. It made good coffee as well, I just didn't like that it didn't have a carafe heater element so I eventually got rid of it.
I recently got an Aeropress to make an espresso type drink and it works great. Haven't tried to make a cup of coffee in it yet.
