Coffee gear reviews, by type
Espresso machines, grinders, drip and single-serve coffee makers, manual brewers and kettles, each reviewed from the manufacturer’s published specifications — pressure, boiler type, burr size, brew temperature, capacity and wattage. We do not brew with the gear we review, and every review says so.
Or answer four questions and let the coffee gear finder narrow them down.
Browse by type
Espresso machines
Pump machines, super-automatics and pod machines: bar pressure, boilers, and what the steam wand can do.
Coffee grinders
Burr grinders, electric and hand: burr size and shape, grind range, and retention.
Drip coffee makers
Carafe machines from 5 to 14 cups: brew temperature, carafe type, and programmable timers.
Single-serve & pod brewers
K-Cup and capsule machines: pod system, brew sizes, reservoir, and the cost that follows.
French press, pour-over & moka
No plug, no pump: presses, drippers, moka pots and percolators, and what the size figure means.
Electric kettles
Gooseneck and standard kettles: wattage, temperature control, hold, and pour.
