AeroPress Original
Score: 81/100
Black+Decker 5-Cup Coffeemaker
Score: 61/100Rankings
The AeroPress Original is a compact manual brewer praised for its speed, portability, and versatile brewing styles. Its main trade-offs are a small single-serve capacity and the need for disposable paper filters. Ideal for travelers and solo coffee enthusiasts.
The BLACK+DECKER DCM600B is a tiny 5-cup drip coffee maker with a one-touch brew button and dishwasher-safe filter, perfect for very small spaces. Its lack of programmable features and mixed reliability reports limit its appeal for heavier users. Best suited for solo drinkers or couples needing a simple, space-saving coffee solution.
