*Review of the best according to the editors of expertology.ru. About the selection criteria. This material is subjective in nature, does not constitute advertising and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before purchasing, consultation with a specialist is required.

We dedicate today's review to drip coffee makers. The peculiarity of this category of small household appliances is their accessibility, ease of operation and the fairly good quality of the coffee they produce. Naturally, it makes no sense to compare preparing a drink in a coffee machine or a drip coffee maker, since the preparation process will be fundamentally different. But do not forget that the price of even an inexpensive coffee machine will be significantly higher than a simple drip coffee maker.

For our rating, 12 best models from Russian and foreign manufacturers were selected. All nominees were divided by price into three groups - budget, mid-range and premium models. This allows the user to immediately select the desired product category.

When selecting specific models, we took into account the optimal balance between cost and quality, brand recognition and functional features. One of the key criteria is how the equipment behaves under real operating conditions. To do this, we analyzed reviews from owners of coffee makers who have been using them for quite some time in order to identify all the advantages and disadvantages of a particular model.

When compiling this review, we used information from the official websites of manufacturers, from review sites (for example, otziv-otziv.ru), thematic forums, from the Yandex.Market marketplace, as well as from other open sources.

The Best Inexpensive Drip Coffee Makers

For the category of budget drip coffee makers, we selected 3 models from well-known Russian and foreign companies. The cost of each model does not exceed 1000-1200 rubles (at the time of writing the review), which makes them affordable for most buyers.

GALAXY GL0708

Rating: 4.3

Our review of inexpensive drip coffee makers opens with the GALAXY GL0708 model. This is a Russian brand under which various household appliances have been produced since 2011. All production facilities are located in China, and the warranty for the coffee maker is 24 months.

The model has a compact size, so it will fit perfectly even into a small kitchen. The advantages include the ability to prepare two servings of coffee at once. Ceramic cups are included.

The design of the equipment is as simple and reliable as possible. Under the top cover there is a reusable plastic filter with a nylon mesh, as well as a water tank and a movable rocker through which boiling water is supplied to the filter. The maximum volume of water that can be filled at one time is 0.3 liters. This is enough to prepare two servings of the drink.

On the side of the case there is a backlit power button. The average preparation time for the drink is 4 minutes (results may differ depending on the amount of water added and its initial temperature). Once all the water has drained, the device will automatically turn off for safety reasons.

The manufacturer produces this coffee maker in three colors (red, white, black), which allows you to choose the best option for your specific kitchen interior.

The positive aspects of coffee maker owners include the small size of the device, ease of operation and maintenance, as well as the short preparation time of the drink. Among the shortcomings, some consumers note uneven pouring when installing both cups.

Vasilisa VA-700

Rating: 4.4

The next model in our review is Vasilisa VA-700 from a Russian manufacturer that produces small household appliances in the budget price segment. The model is aimed at domestic buyers and is distinguished by good build quality and reliability. The coffee maker is manufactured in China and has a one-year factory warranty.

The model is made in a classic style with a large glass flask, above which there is a compartment for ground coffee, and at the back there is a water tank. On the left side at the bottom there is a backlit power button.

For user convenience, the flask and water tank are marked with numbers from 2 to 10, which correspond to the number of cups. The transparent scale on the body allows you to see the remaining amount of water in the tank.

The model is equipped with a removable conical plastic filter with a nylon mesh.

According to users, the coffee maker optimally combines affordable price, practicality and quality. No serious shortcomings (taking into account the cost of the coffee maker) were identified.

Affordable price, simple and reliable design and aesthetically attractive appearance allowed the Vasilis VA-700 coffee maker to become one of the best in its product group.

Advantages

• Water quantity indicator.
• Marking on the flask.
• Tank volume 1 liter.

Flaws

• No significant shortcomings (taking into account the price of the device) were identified.

What should you consider when purchasing?

Deciding on the choice of coffee maker is difficult. You need to pay attention not only to the cost of the device and its appearance, but also to the technical parameters that will directly affect the comfort of using the equipment.

We advise you to pay attention to the following criteria:

1. Power is the most important indicator. The higher it is, the faster the water will heat up and the drink will be prepared directly. For a small home appliance with a tank capacity of 500 ml, a power of 600-700 W is sufficient.
2. Filter type. Most drip coffee makers are equipped with a reusable filter and brushes to remove grounds from the filter. However, espresso connoisseurs claim that with such filters the coffee is not too strong and aromatic. But it all depends on personal preferences and taste.
3. Additional functions . We are talking about adjusting the strength of the drink and the number of servings. If you are buying a device for a family of two, then the presence of such capabilities is not at all necessary.

Also, some consumers pay attention to the presence of a coffee grinding function, but usually it is only important for real coffee lovers. If you drink this drink only in the morning, you won’t feel much difference.

The best drip coffee makers in the mid-price range

Drip coffee makers in the mid-price range are considered the most popular and widespread. They remain affordable, but are made from higher quality materials than budget counterparts, and can also have a number of additional useful options.

We have selected 5 models from popular manufacturers of household appliances. The price range under consideration is from 2.5 to 5 thousand rubles.

Kitfort KT-732

Rating: 4.6

We begin our review of the category with the Kitfort KT-732 model from a popular Russian manufacturer of home appliances. The coffee maker is made in China and comes with a one-year factory warranty.

The model has a modern design and looks very impressive thanks to the combination of glossy black plastic and stainless steel. The 1.5 liter coffee pot is designed for 12 cups of 120 ml each, which allows you to drink coffee to a group of friends or a small office team with one brew.

The key feature of the model is the presence of the “autostart” function, thanks to which the device will prepare coffee at a certain time. To do this, you need to set the required values ​​using the “hours” and “minutes” buttons. To ensure your drink is always hot, the coffee maker will maintain its temperature for 40 minutes using a built-in heater at the base of the body, and then automatically turn off to save energy.

A separate “start/stop” button provides manual control of the coffee brewing process.

Once the pot is removed from the stand, the drip stop function will prevent the drink from flowing out of the reservoir. A removable filter with a nylon mesh will eliminate the need to buy disposable consumables.

According to the Yandex.Market marketplace, the coffee maker received a maximum rating of 5.0, with 99% of respondents recommending this model. Among the advantages, equipment owners note the presence of an autostart function, stylish design and the ability to keep the drink hot. The disadvantages of some users include the lack of a measuring spoon in the kit and the easily soiled stainless steel surface (fingerprints remain).

The body of the coffee maker is made of black plastic, and in the upper part above the logo there is a horizontal silver rim. The design is made in a classic form factor and has a discreet design.

One of the features of the model is the presence of a permanent filter with a metal mesh, which, unlike its plastic counterparts, has increased strength and resistance to wear. This allows you to put not only ground coffee into the filter, but also tea or herbal infusions, which expands the number of drinks you can prepare.

At the bottom of the case there is an LCD display with four control buttons. The user can set the exact time by which the coffee should be ready, pour the powder into the filter and add water, and the device will prepare everything itself. You can also control the process manually using the start/stop button.

A platform with a heating element will keep the drink hot.
