"Best User-Friendly" Coffee Brewer
"It has lots of straightforward buttons for things like brewing and descaling, so you know exactly what to do and what to press. It even takes the guesswork out of when the coffee is ready — when the brew is done, it will let out a little chime sound so you know when it’s time to pour yourself a cup."

Best Small Drip Coffee Makers
“It offers a simple pre-infusion mode, which is cool. Pre-infusion, or bloom, dispenses a little water to start, lets that hot water get some of the carbon dioxide out of the coffee and then continues with the rest of the brew; that’s a technique used in most manual pour-over brewing to brew more evenly, and it’s cool to have it in an Auto-drip machine.”

"The double-walled glass means it retains water temperature when brewing and the ribbed swirling design on the inside helps each cup extract well and slowly. It is my go-to brewer these days."

"We found the carafe easy to use..."
"...and we liked that it has a controlled pour from the spout with the lid — on or off. The carafe is double-walled, so the outside does not get hot to the touch, and the water reservoir has a removable lid that makes adding water very easy. Also, the reservoir itself lifts up and off of the machine for easier filling."

"Bonavita's Connoisseur Coffee Maker is its best brewer yet."
"There's one button, that's it. It's more of a switch that's small, round, and button-shaped. Flipping it on kick-starts the brewing process. Pressing the switch down for five seconds activates (and deactivates) the pre-soak function."
