Drip Coffee Makers (99)
With automatic-drip machines, the most popular type, you fill a chamber with water, load coffee into a filter basket, and flip a switch to heat the water and run it through the grounds and typically into the pot.
. . .Single-Serve Coffee Makers (33)
These force water through a small packet, either a hard-shelled capsule or a soft pod resembling a tea bag. Some accept an adapter that takes your favorite loose grounds.
. . .Dual Coffee Makers (19)
A dual coffee maker is a double brewing station that has both a drip and single-serve option. These two-in-one machines are good for people who want some versatility in their coffee routine and will take advantage of both options.
. . .Specialty Coffee Makers (1)
These machines brew differently from the standard drip method. Some mimic traditional French presses, suspending the coffee grounds in hot water for a period of time before filtering.
. . .Cold-Brew Coffee Makers (7)
These machines use cold or room-temperature water and brew a concentrated coffee that you then dilute with cold water and/or ice (or with hot water for hot coffee).
