We all have our favorite coffee makers, but if you're interested in making great pour-over coffee at home, the folks at The Sweethome have spent over 30 hours testing various pourover gadgets to choose the best ones. Here's what they found.

Long story short, their recommendation is the Kalita Wave Dripper, which is about $30 at Amazon. The team worked with over 10 coffee experts, including two national barista champions, some founders of well-known coffeehouses and roasters, and a few other coffee fans whose names you'll recognize, and worked their way through a number of manual and automatic pour-over methods. Their verdict on automatic pour-overs is similar to ours—they can make a great cup of coffee, but you don't have to spend that kind of money to get a good—or better—cup. Simple, affordable, manual methods can deliver the same or better results in the same time.


The Sweethome also gives the nod to some of our community favorites, like the $22 Clever Coffee Dripper, and the always-amazing Aerobie Aeropress, which they noted makes even cheap coffee taste worlds better, and we'd have to agree. The Aeropress is one of our favorite coffee machines in general, as is the Clever Coffee Dripper. Beyond the dripper however, the full guide also offers suggestions on grinders, kettles, filters, and scales, too. They even recommend three of our five favorite coffee grinders.
