Amazon Basics 5 Cup Drip Coffee Maker, Coffee Machine with Glass Coffee Pot (0.8 Qt), Auto Shut-off,...

Our Experience

I've tried a bunch of budget coffee makers, but this Amazon Basics one has been my go-to for the past month. For $19, you get a solid performer that doesn't skimp on features. I love how easy it is to use – just fill the tank, pop in a filter and grounds, then hit the 'On' button. The auto-shutoff after two hours is a neat touch too, perfect for when I'm in a morning rush.

My one minor critique? The glass carafe gets hot pretty quickly, but it's not insulated, so if you're not drinking it right away, your coffee might cool down faster than you'd like. But hey, at this price point, that's a small trade-off. Overall, it's a great little machine for the daily brew.
