Top 5 best-selling coffee makers on Amazon in 2021
If the kitchen is the heart of the home, then (for us at least) coffee is definitely the heart of the kitchen. And turns out it’s a vital organ for thousands of Amazon shoppers as well.
Are we taking this metaphor too far? Perhaps. But why stop when we can double down with another favorite vital organ… the brain! Tortuous segue, yes, but it takes us to what we found on Healthline’s website:
In the short-term, coffee may improve mood, vigilance, learning and reaction time. Long-term use may protect against brain diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
Now that we don’t have to feel guilty about all the coffee we’re drinking, we’ve curated our own best-of list from Amazon’s officially most-loved products, which means they’ve had a minimum of 1000 reviews and have received 4 stars or higher.
Our selection includes five of the best-selling coffee makers on Amazon, plus a bonus recommendation of one that is sure to hit the most-loved list soon. We also found a grinder that promises it’s quieter than all the rest. Because we all need one of those.
For our Canadian friends, please note that if the brand isn’t sold in Canada or if we discover a comparable, well-reviewed item with a better price, we’ll link to that instead.
Weighing in with five stars from more than 23,000 ratings, the Mueller French Press promises double wall insulation and a cool touch handle for the ultimate french press coffee experience. Plus a photo of a couple so cheery and bright-eyed (check the listing!) that we can only surmise is … an aspirational benefit? Perhaps we’ll have another cup of coffee and ruminate.
The trusted Hamilton Beach brand gets a solid 4.5 stars from more than 27,000 reviews for its 12-cup coffee maker. Besides being able to schedule your coffee in advance (and who doesn’t love to wake up to the smell of a fresh pot?) you can also brew a single cup. Or a travel mug if you are back into the commuting life.
If you’re the type who wouldn’t consider drinking a cup of joe without freshly ground beans, chances are your grinder is driving you nuts. Or other members of the household who don’t exactly love the sound. The Hamilton Beach Grinder wants to save your family dynamic with a grinder they boast is quieter than competing brands. It also has a removable grinding chamber for easy cleaning. Grinds up to 9 tablespoons of beans.
Coffee-making can definitely be classified as a ritual, and the pour-over method enhances the ceremonious vibe by eradicating the tech. The absence of modern hyper-caffeinated systems also means a much lower price (currently under $20) for this Bodum Pour Over coffee maker, which has more than 20,600 raving ratings and a dishwasher-safe reusable mesh filter. The cork band is a stylish touch.
If you’re seeking a super-pro espresso machine, this one by Breville gets 4.5 stars from customers who love its simplicity and its ability to pull consistent shots, time after time. Has anyone else seen their monthly Starbucks spending go waaaaay down? It’s an alluring way to justify splurging on a higher-end machine.
Amazon shoppers love the Keurig single serve coffee maker, giving it five stars with 21,000 ratings, which are growing in number every day. It brews several different cup sizes and offers a separate iced coffee setting. If you didn’t know what K-cup was all about, this is it.
And finally, at 919 ratings, the Nespresso Virtuo Plus has not yet met Amazon’s threshold for “most-loved,” but with a 4.5 star rating it’ll be there soon. From our own personal experience I’d give it 100-1 odds. This was a pandemic purchase and we’re in love with the coffee, the ease of use and the free delivery program, which quite often has a deal going on, so it’s worth it to stock up on pods.
I’ll have to write a detailed post about my intense affection for this product! If you’re new to Nespresso, fyi the Virtuo line is for their new, dome-shaped coffee pods. The machines are exclusive to their pod type, but they still sell the original espresso pods and machines.
Rise and grind!
