Match the machine to the morning

The best coffee maker is the one you will still use on a Tuesday in February. This demo guide compares drip machines, pour-over sets and pod brewers.

Drip machines

Best for households drinking more than two cups. Look for a programmable timer and a carafe that does not dribble.

Pour-over

Best flavour clarity, fewest parts to fail, but it needs a kettle and five minutes of attention.

Maintenance matters

Descale every two months in hard-water areas. It is the single biggest factor in how long a machine lasts.
