If you're seeking an espresso maker that can make a smooth filter coffee, an automatic drip filter could be your best option. They are easy to use, inexpensive and produce a great cup of coffee.

The machine is sleek, visually appealing and features an expansive showerhead that agitates the ground effectively. However, the water tank is not marked and feels cheap to handle.

1. Easy to clean

We usually don't consider the ease of cleaning when we rate products however, we did because coffee makers aren't easy to clean. We looked at the number of nooks and crannies on each machine, how many parts there are, and whether they were easy to remove and clean. It is easier to maintain machines with less parts, but they should be cleaned frequently to prevent an accumulation of oil and bad smells.

Most filter machines use glass carafes and permanent gold-tone filters that cut down on waste from plastic and other waste, but some have additional features such as the ability to display digital information or a timer. Some have warming tray to keep your coffee warm for hours after brewing. The Zojirushi, for example, comes with a filter that can be reused to reduce waste paper and handy markings to take the guesswork out of making the correct amount of water.

A few machines have the option to use either ground coffee or pods. Pods may be more convenient and speed up the process of brewing however they can be more expensive over time. Ground coffee is a more affordable option that allows for greater personalization.

The machine is front-loaded. It's a nice touch. It also has a big digital display that is easier to read than smaller numbers on some other models.

The tank also doesn't have any ounce or cup markings on the reservoir, so you'll need to measure your water carefully.

This results in a more mellow mouthfeel than espresso. They require less maintenance than espresso machines or single-serve machines.

However, they do require a regular clean and the periodic replacement of parts like a water tank or carafe that can be difficult since some models come with parts that are hard to reach or require additional tools to remove. Look for a filter machine that has a removable reservoir to facilitate cleaning and filling. Many models have a permanent washable filter or basket. Some models only require one button to begin brewing, while others come with a more complicated menu system that may confuse new users.

The Moccamaster KBG Select is an excellent machine that checks all the boxes in terms of ease of use.

It comes in a variety of colours and is easy to fit on your worktop.

Another option that is user-friendly is Russell Hobbs CM8. It is compact in size and can make up to 15 cups and uses hot plates to keep the coffee warm for an hour. We did find the manual a little confusing with some symbols being difficult to comprehend, however the controls are easy to master after a few tests.

Contrary to espresso machines, which brew more dense coffee in just 30 seconds filter coffee makers depend on a more slow extraction. That means the resulting beverage has a lighter taste and isn't as bitter.

We were a little confused by the tank made of plastic that was hidden behind the. The ridges make it hard to pour, and they can also splash water on the grounds of the coffee or in the chamber for brewing. This makes it easy to overlook the full carafe when refilling.

Luckily the tank can be removed and is dishwasher-safe and dishwasher safe, making it one of the simpler models to clean. Apart from that it is minimalist in design and is simple to install and use. It's a great value for anyone looking for an affordable, but reliable filter coffee maker. It can make four large cups with a large carafe. It makes use of paper filters.

The glass carafe looks like a vintage diner coffeepot. It also comes with an automatic 60-minute warming system that can keep your coffee hot up to an hour.

The Oxo can make filter coffee in less than eight minutes. The brewing process is automated and features a bloom cycle that showers down the grounds with a brief pause that allows them to absorb the water, and then it's a brew cycle in which the hot water flows over the grounds for about five minutes on average.
