The 10 Best Small Coffee Makers Of 2023

If you've heard of coffee, you've heard of Keurig. The brand is the go-to when it comes to single serve pods. We love the Keurig K-Mini because it's super skinny (it's less than five inches wide!). It also has fast brew time and great color selection. It also doesn't hurt that there are 50,000 five-star reviews on Amazon raving about the "ease of operation" and how the coffee comes out "very hot" every time.

Sleek and modern, the Cuisinart 4-Cup Coffeemaker is perfect if you want a pot of hot the coffee available at any point during the day. The thermal carafe sits on a hot plate so the four cups of coffee it brews stay warm, and the Brew Pause feature lets you pour yourself a cup before entire pot is done.

"This little pot gets exactly the right temp and brings out all the best in my coffee," this reviewer said.

Maybe you don't want your coffee maker to blend in with the rest of your kitchen, no matter how small it is. The Holstein Housewares Compact Coffee Maker is meant for just that. It comes in four vibrant colors, and at $25, it's super affordable.

"This little coffee maker is great," this customer wrote. "It’s fast, and the coffee is hot and perfect."

The Ninja DualBrew can do a whole lotta brewin'. It comes with the option to use pods or grounds, nine different brew sizes, and three different brew styles (classic, rich, or over ice). It can keep your coffee warm for up for four hours and doesn't "take up a whole bunch of space," as this reviewer said.

This Nespresso Vertuo machine take pods for both coffee and single and double espresso. The best part? Its 40-ounce water tank can be adjusted to fit on any counter.

"If you've never had coffee from a Nespresso Vertuo machine, you owe it to yourself to try it out," this customer said. 'The result is fantastic—a rich coffee with an amazing crema that is the equal or better to any you've ever tasted."

Cold brew addicts, this one is for you. The tall and narrow OXO Cold Brew Coffee Maker makes cold brew concentrate overnight. Then you can mix it with water and pour over ice in the morning. It's dishwasher-safe and easy to assemble.

"It makes the best coffee in my opinion," a reviewer wrote. "It brings out a lot of flavor without the bitterness."

If you love the idea of having your coffee machine connected to your smart phone, then you need the CAFÉ Specialty Drip Coffee Maker. It connects to Alexa and Google for voice-to-brew commands, giving you the ability to pick strength and exact brewing temperature. And with dimensions of 12.5 x 7.25 x 14 inches, it's super compact.

"It isn’t just beautiful; it also makes a fantastic cup of coffee," this reviewer said.

If counter space is really hard to come by in your home (or you just want something you can travel with), this Aeropress Coffee and Espresso Maker is the answer. It uses a similar process to a French press to make a very strong cup without the bitterness.

"This has proven to be the absolute best coffee maker to have at work," this customer said. "It makes one cup at a time, is easy to use, makes very little mess, and takes up almost no room."

It's no secret—coffee made with freshly ground beans just tastes better. And having a coffee maker with a built-in grinder is not just a luxury for the counter-space rich. This Cuisinart Grind & Brew model is 7.5 x 11.2 x 15.16 inches and has a grinder.

"[I'm] in love with this machine," this reviewer raved. "It never clogs, offers a variety of ways to control strength and taste, has a large pot that can keep hot for up to 4 hours, and was easy to program."

Just because you want a barista-style coffee machine at home, doesn't mean you have to get something massive. The small but versatile Breville Nespresso Creatista can do a lot. It can make a simple cup of coffee or espresso, and easily upgrade that into a latte, flat white, or cappuccino with the milk frother.

"This machine has been a blessing to our household!" this reviewer said. "We haven’t been to Starbucks since we got this. The ease of use, the versatility of the drinks, the quality of the coffee, and no clean up!" A lot of customers have even perfected latte art with this machine.
