Best Personal Drip Coffee Makers

Here are some of the highest rated and best selling personal coffee makers. You can choose from the simplest version to a quite spectacular automated machine. Look for differences in cup size, and also for difference in wattage. The higher wattage machines will brew the coffee quicker.

Black & Decker DCM18S Brew’n Go Personal Coffee Maker with Travel Mug

Great for commuters, office professionals, and one-coffee-drinker households, this personal coffee maker brews 15 ounces of coffee directly into a stainless-steel travel mug. The mug has a rubber handle for a safe grip and a lid to keep coffee hot. It’s tapered to a 2-1/2-inch-diameter bottom, so it fits most vehicle cup holders. The coffee maker itself is designed for an on-the-go coffee drinker. It has a permanent filter–no messy disposable paper filters required–and shuts off automatically after brewing. The mug, filter, filter basket, and mug lid are dishwasher-safe, and the coffee maker can also be used to heat water for tea, hot chocolate, and instant foods like oatmeal and soup.
