15 Gifts For Those Who Are The Small Filter Coffee Machine Lover In Your Life

The Best Small Filter Coffee Machines

With a simple design of the selection button, simple cleaning and a premium feel this filter coffee maker is a winner. We did notice that it needs a little more thought and care than other models we tried due to its blooming feature as well as the jug-holding system.

The Wilfa Classic is a great addition to any kitchen. It has a separate setting for one to four cups as well as an orientation scale and flow rate regulator for continuous adjustment.

1. Melitta Aroma Elegance

This stylish Melitta filter machine has an elegant, compact design. It can be used with ground coffee and beans. The coffee maker comes with an 1.25 litre water tank which can make 10 cups of filter before having to refilled. It also features an anti-drip feature.

This machine makes preparing filter coffee simple with the automatic switch-off function as well as the ability to alter the coffee strength by changing the grind size of the beans. The container can be cleaned in the dishwasher, making it even more convenient.

Aroma Elegance Deluxe has a timer function that can be set to start brewing at a specific date and time on the LED display. The brewer is constructed of high-quality materials that are durable and sturdy providing you with peace of mind.

The coffee maker also comes with easy-to-follow instructions and clearly labeled selection buttons. However, it is important to remember that the Aroma Elegance Deluxe model does not have an integrated grinder, and users will have to grind their beans separately prior to using the machine.

It is recommended to make use of filtered water to ensure that the machine lasts a long time and has the best flavour. Descale the machine regularly to prevent limescale buildup and to ensure that it is operating at its peak. To help with this, the machine is equipped with 3-in-1 calc protection that includes a programmable water hardness setting and an indicator showing the level of calcification as well as an automatic descaling program.

2. Breville Aromaboy

This small filter coffee machine can be easily hidden in the cabinet. Despite its adorable appearance, it's able to make up to two cups of delicious coffee.

Like espresso machines filters work by heating up water and pouring it over coffee grounds in the form of a filter. Electric filter coffee makers take the burden of brewing off your hands by controlling the flow of water as well as the time it takes to brew. They also come with additional features that you cannot get with the manual filter coffee maker such as programmable start times and descaling reminders.

Selecting the ideal filter coffee maker is all about finding the one that meets your needs. This might mean choosing a model with a larger max brew volume so you can make a large batch of filter coffee at one time (perfect for guests or in the office) or choosing a model that has an easy single-cup function. Some models may even have a built-in grinder, which can be used to grind your own fresh beans or grind coffee from a can.


Many filter coffee machines also are able to reproduce the pour-over method that is a traditional manual method of making filter coffee. This involves pre-wetting coffee grounds before slowly pouring over water. This is claimed to produce a more complex, richer coffee.

Both the Moccamaster and the Breville Precision brewer are great filter coffee makers for anyone who wants to have the best of both worlds: the simplicity of using an automatic drip machine, but the control you can get from a manual filter coffee brewer. Both have programmable start times, which means you can program them to make your coffee at exactly the right time when you get up. Both come with a permanent filter for coffee which means you don't need to buy paper filters.

3. Hario V60

In contrast to an automatic drip coffee maker The V60 is all about single cups. It transforms the brewing process into a sort of ritual and that's one of its main draws. Pouring water in circles while holding an ice-cream maker and a cup of beans can be mesmerizing. Wait for the luscious aromas and bloom to fill the air. Watch as  Coffeee  that spiral inwards transform into a flowing gold river.

Hario, a Japanese company famous for its glass tea sets, coffee makers and siphon coffee makers released this brewer back in 2004. It was a hit in the specialty coffee market by storm, and is still in operation today. It's prominently featured in social media posts as well as YouTube videos, competitions for brewing, and in coffee shop conversations. This is the ideal device for those who want to emphasize the flavor of their coffee and make a great cup every time.

The degree of control you have over your brew is why the V60 usurped Melitta from its position as the most powerful of pour overs, and it also gives you the opportunity to experiment with various grind sizes, water temperatures, and flow rates. The entire process of brewing takes just few minutes, and cleanup is simple.

The V60 is perfect for anyone who loves to make single cups of coffee. If you're keen on experimenting with your own method, there's a regular pour-over competitions where baristas come together to compete to craft the most exquisite cup of coffee using this small filter coffee machine.

4. Clever Dripper

If you're looking to buy a simple, inexpensive, and reliable filter coffee maker The Clever Dripper is a great choice. It's easy to use and produces delicious coffee and is easy to clean. It is also very robust and can withstand many abuses.

The Clever Dripper is a hybrid immersion/percolation brewer that brings the best of both worlds to one convenient, portable package. It utilizes an immersion technique similar to the French Press and the new-fangled Aeropress. However it has a valve that prevents the ground coffee from spilling to the bottom. Once the coffee is ready, simply place it in your cup or server to open the valve and let the coffee flow through a standard Melitta filter.

Once you've mastered the basics of the Clever Dripper, the process becomes almost effortless and you can focus on other aspects of your brewing experience like the coffee-to-water ratio or the time for steeping. With some practice, you'll be able to get the perfect cup of coffee every time.

The Clever Dripper is available in various sizes and colors, but we suggest getting the larger size as it will fit in your favorite cup. It's also made from BPA free Eastman Tritan plastic and comes with a set of 100 filters. It also has a slightly outdated look, but the product is extremely useful and durable. It's a great option for those who want to pour a drink but doesn't have the cash to buy a dedicated beer maker. It could also serve as a tolerant French press for newcomers to the technique. The results are surprising steady and balanced.

5. Kalita Wave

The stainless steel Kalita Wave is an excellent option for those who wish to take a pour over brewer on camping trips or who have small kitchens. Its flat bottom with three holes for extraction allows for an even beverage, and its wavy filter design reduces contact between the grounds and the dripper to prevent the astringent flavor.

The name of this coffee maker gets its inspiration from the horizontal ridges that resemble waves down its walls. The ridges aid in evenly disperse the coffee grounds while also reducing the chances of channeling. The problem of channeling occurs when the hot water is forced through the coffee grounds at a rapid rate, leading to an unbalanced extraction. The wavy shape of the filter assists in reducing contact between the dripper and the coffee grounds, thereby preventing channeling.

The Kalita Wave, like other manual pour-over brewers requires precision when adding the water to ensure the same beverage. A ratio of 14.5-16 ml/g is the ideal ratio. This is generally thought to be the optimal amount of water to pour over, although there are some coffee experts who believe that a higher ratio could result in more bitterness.

If you're a novice at pouring over, it might take a while to perfect your technique and create an optimal brew using the Kalita Wave. However, once you've mastered it, this small filter coffee maker is guaranteed to impress any guests. The $30 Kalita Wave 155 is capable of producing delicious coffee, but in order to tap its full potential, you'll require a grinder that is good along with a glitzy pot and a scale. It's not surprising that this basic brewer is a favorite among professional baristas and nerdy coffee lovers.
