If you love drip coffee, then this is undoubtedly the one for you. The Bella 14775 Brew Strength Selector is the best under $50 coffee maker. For its price, it has an impressive set of features like automatic shut-off, which makes it stand out on our list.
The Bella 14775 coffee maker also offers programming options, a permanent filter, and a brew-strength selector to customize your coffee. Whether you’re brewing for yourself or many people, the Bella 14775 has you covered. It offers a batch setting of 1-4 cups that allows you to brew coffee for more than one person.

Chemex Pour Over
Chemex is arguably one of the most attractive coffee makers in the market, and this classic series is a step further. The Chemex Pour Over Glass Coffee Maker makes the slightest noise among others on our list.
The Chemex Pour Over Glass coffee maker is very easy-to-use, producing an excellent cup of coffee. If you’re worried about capacity, it has you covered. The ‘8-cup’ version gives you about 40 ounces of coffee, more than enough for a few mugs.
You don’t need electricity to brew your coffee. All you need to do is boil a suitable amount of water and place a filter inside the Chemex coffee maker. Add your coffee ground and slowly pour water over it. The best part is that you can easily display it on your shelf or counter.
Chulux Coffee Maker
While there might be several brewers with more features in the market, if you want to make a single cup of coffee without the hassle and for a fair price, this is a great option. The CHULUX Coffee Maker is very easy to use. All you have to do is add water, and coffee, turn its lock, then hit the ON button, and you’re set.
Chulux coffee maker is compatible with either first or second-generation k-cups. Its design is compact and only keeps water needed to make a single cup, so you don’t have to worry about any sort of water container by its side or at the back like other models.
Like most cheap brewers, the Chulux coffee maker often suffers from poor quality control, so don’t expect it to last very long. Overall, if you’re looking for a cheap, single-serving coffee maker, this is probably your best choice.
Bodum French Press
If you’re the type that loves rich, bold coffee, the french press may be the best manual coffee brewer for you. The Bodum French Press 1928-16US4 is a great machine that produces an exceptional coffee cup in about 4-5 minutes. While most people often compare its process with Aeropress, it does require a little more than boiling water, strong ground coffee, and waiting for about 5 minutes.
This Bodum French press has a capacity of 34 ounces while the cup measurement mentioned in its ‘8-cup’ description is 4 ounces. This means you can get around 3 large coffee mugs from this brewer.
Its body is made of high-quality stainless steel (other materials are available also) with a glass carafe. If you’re accident-prone, Bodum also made a shatter-resistant type of carafe.
If you’re searching for a portable coffee maker, this might not be a great choice as it’s too big to take on the go. But, if you like your coffee full-bodied and dense, this Bodum French is excellent.
Black + Decker Coffee Maker
The Black + Decker coffee maker is the cheapest on our list and the best choice for the money. Black + Decker coffee maker is a utilitarian model designed to make coffee in a simple way.
This model has a button which might come as a shock in a time when coffee making is becoming increasingly complex. But that’s great news if you want an easy-to-use machine.
It has a water window showing the percentage of the carafe that’ll be filled. This is a great addition for preventing overfilling of the unit and knowing the water level in case you don’t want too much coffee. This machine makes cleaning easy because it comes with a dishwasher filter basket.
However, that design means that water flows through the ground coffee, resulting in subpar coffee. If you often add cream and sugar to your coffee, you might not notice it at all. Overall, it’s a good choice for those who want to make coffee and provides good value for its price.
Bialetti Stovetop Espresso Maker
If you’re looking for a way to brew espresso coffee without owning the traditional, space-hogging, and heavy espresso machine, then the Bialetti Moka Pot is your best option for under $50.
A manual small coffee brewer gives you a fully-flavored espresso-like coffee in just minutes. Learning how to use the Bialetti Moka Pot to make a great cup of coffee might take a few trials, but you can get the hang of it after a few uses.
Moka pots are often called ‘stovetop espresso brewers,’ even though they don't technically produce espresso. The pressure made by the steam inside the Moka Pot cannot rival that made by an espresso machine which creates the crema and concentrated brew we all love.
You only need coffee (finely grounded), water, and a heat source for the Bialetti Moka Pot. It’s portable and makes an excellent choice for camping.
AeroPress
The AeroPress coffee maker is the most portable option on our list. It can make quality and concentrated brew in just a matter of minutes.
The major downside to this coffee maker is its size. However, that’s what makes it portable and great for traveling with. The AeroPress is designed as a single-cup brewing maker, which is great for brewing two small cups of coffee (diluted with milk or water) or one rich cup of coffee.
The coffee made by AeroPress is dense and full-bodied, and like the French press, it takes very little time (2-3 minutes). While cleaning this coffee maker might be an issue, it’s compensated by the minimal effort required in brewing.
Overall, it’s a great option if you want something portable.
