The 10 Best Small Coffee Makers Of 2022—Cuisinart, Keurig, Nespresso

by

When kitchen-counter space is scarce, owning a coffee maker that doesn’t take up all the territory is super important. Nothing is more annoying than having to move a bulky machine out of the way when you need to chop some veggies. But you should also have something that isn’t dinky or cheap. Your coffee maker needs to deliver a flavorful, strong cup every single time. That’s where these small but mighty coffee makers come in.

Our top picks

How we chose these products

Everyone has different set-ups in their kitchens with varying amounts of counter space. Some have high cabinets with loads of space for tall machines. Others have low cabinets with lots of room for shorter, wider machines. And of course, everyone has their coffee preferences that dictate the type of maker they need, from cold brew to espresso to fancy lattes. We’ve included small coffee makers on this list that can fit into any space and offer a range of different abilities. We also catered to all budgets, with options that are under $50 to over $600. We left some type of coffee makers off this list because we already have articles dedicated to them, like pour-overs and French presses. Without further ado, here are the best small coffee makers to fit any space in any kitchen.
