Kitchen & Dining

We tested compact single-serve brewers that fit tight counters, comparing footprint, reservoir size, brew sizes, and pod or grounds flexibility.

We tested compact brewers for dorm desks, from a quiet manual press to pod machines with small footprints and easy cleanup.

We tested stainless, glass, and insulated French presses to find the best for daily coffee, small kitchens, and serving a crowd.

Eight French presses, brewed side by side: which give you a strong, grit-free cup, and which trade heat retention or durability to get there.

We brewed with 64-ounce jars and gallon dispensers to find cold brew makers that handle big batches — and the lids and taps that stay sealed.

We tested siphon coffee makers for cup clarity, glass durability and cleanup to find the best for everyday brewing and for showing off.

From air roasters to drum machines: which home coffee roaster fits your counter, your batch size, and your smoke situation, plus what to skip.

We tested burr and blade coffee grinders for grind consistency, cleaning, noise and value, and picked the ones worth the counter space.

We tested burr grinders for espresso, drip, and travel. Here are the best electric and manual picks for consistent grounds, easy dosing, and value.

We tested burr grinders for pour-over consistency, static, cleanup, and batch size. These are the electric and manual picks that earn counter space.

We tested burr grinders for espresso: a timed Breville default, a value electric that doses into a portafilter, and a hand grinder with 16-micron clicks.

We tested five electric gooseneck kettles for pour-over coffee. The Cosori is our everyday pick, with smart, larger-capacity, and budget options below.
