Others prefer to use manual brew coffeemakers, such as the French press and other manual drip coffeemakers, while others might prefer automatic coffeemakers that automatically brew coffee at a designated time.
A lot of variables come into play, but it all boils down to the features of the coffeemaker.
Coffee drinkers around the world live in different circumstances. We all have varying lifestyles, and thus, we all yearn for different features when we look for a coffeemaker.

Therefore, the best coffeemaker that serves your needs is the one that fits into your lifestyle.
For instance, do you want to wake up to a freshly brewed cup of coffee every morning? If the answer is yes, then an automatic coffee maker is the best coffeemaker for you.
However, don’t buy an automatic 12 cup coffeemaker if there are only a few coffee drinkers in your household. That would lead to a waste of good coffee.
To make it easier, here are a few guidelines to help you decide what is the best coffeemaker would be the suitable for you.
Budget
First, set your budget and follow it to avoid overspending. How much are you willing to spend for a coffeemaker? Coffee aficionados would go to great lengths and buy the most expensive machine to enjoy great tasting coffee at their own homes.
On the other hand, non-coffee snobs prefer to buy low-cost coffee makers that are easily replaceable when they break down. Which one are you?
If you are a coffee novice and have little to no idea what a coffee maker should cost, you don’t have to set a budget straight away. As you go through the process, you will have a better idea on how much you are willing to spend.
OCM (OnCoffeeMakers.com) was started in 2007 with the first webpage about coffee machines. And for a number of years, we focused on helping people find their desired coffee machine (we still are helping folks with that! So, if you are looking for coffee machines for office or restaurants - check out the link).
In 2010, we started getting enquiries on restaurant marketing and we start to help food and beverage brands with their marketing. Below are campaigns and events that we have done over the years:

Technology and Features
There are non-electric coffee makers, such as French press and manual drip coffee makers that are very affordable, but require a little more effort to use.
One the other hand, there are the electric coffee makers. There are affordable ones as well, but are not as durable and do not perform up to par as the more expensive ones.
The question is which one do you prefer? Manual drip coffee makers are popular among those who go outdoors. Since manual drip coffee makers do not require electricity to brew coffee, they can enjoy coffee even when they’re outdoors as long as they have a supply of coffee grounds and a heat source that they can use to heat up water for brewing.
Furthermore, you have to choose what the best brew quantity is for you. Different machines have different brew quantities, from single cup coffee machines to 12 cup coffee machines.
Thankfully, there are coffee machines that have varying brew quantities. Some 12 cup coffee machines, for example, can brew a smaller quantity of coffee, making them very ideal when you plan to use one of these coffee makers to brew coffee when you have guests.
The last and most important part is to take note of the features you want in a best coffeemaker.
For instance, there are fully-automatic coffeemakers. These are very easy to use. Best of all, these machines have programmable timers, in which you can set the time you want the machine to brew coffee.
All you have to do is to make sure that the machine has the sufficient amount of water and the filter basket is filled with coffee grounds.
At the designated time, the machine will start to brew coffee. Fully-automatic coffeemakers are very popular among those who want to wake up to a freshly brewed pot of coffee.
As another example, there are coffeemakers that have a built-in grinder. These are popular among those who don’t want to purchase two separate machines, a coffee maker and a coffee grinder.
There are fully-automatic grind and brew coffeemakers, which not only brew but grind coffee beans at a designated time. All they need to do is to make sure that there is an ample quantity of water in the water reservoir and coffee beans inside the grinder.
Another feature that you should be taking note of is the coffee filter. Which kind of coffee filter do you prefer to use, the paper filter or the gold tone filter?
If you don’t want to be bothered stocking up on paper filters or not want the possibility of running out of paper filters at a very unfortunate moment, then you should be using a coffee maker that can use a gold tone filter.
These are just a few guidelines to help you decide, which among the numerous coffeemakers in the market today, is the best coffeemaker for you?
