When we hear the word cheap attached to a product, we automatically assume that it is of inferior quality than the products with stratospheric prices. Well, this should not be as cheap can only mean affordable and yet still good quality products, which also applies to cheap coffee makers.
The trick in choosing cheap coffee machines is to look for the product with similar features and, thus, benefits as their pricier counterparts. With the wide variety of brands and models to choose from, you should have an easy time at it. Here are a few choices that you can select from in affordable coffee machines.
GSI Sierra 2-Quart Coffee Percolator
Admittedly, the GSO Sierra is on the old-fashioned side of coffeemakers amidst the electric machines. But there is something to be said for a coffee maker that can be used both indoors and outdoors, thanks to its weather, scratch and chip-resistant enamel-encased heavy-duty casing.
You will love it that the three-ply construction allows for even distribution of heat and, thus, for great coffee even in the outdoors. You cannot say it of power-driven cheap coffee machines.
Senseo Single Serve Gourmet
For a step up over a percolator, we suggest the Senseo single serve gourmet machine. With its convenient coffee pod system, you will be able to enjoy a good cup of coffee anytime and anywhere.
Did we mention that the coffee pods come in many flavors? Yes, you can choose a flavor depending on your mood for the moment, which cannot be said for other coffee making devices that only makes one or two types of the caffeine-laden drink.
Black & Decker DCM18 Brew 'n Go
Black & Decker is usually known for its heavy-duty hardware equipment but when it comes to cheap coffee making devices, the company has its bet, too. This time, it is the aptly-named DCM18 Brew 'n Go coffeemaker.
As the name implies, you can take it anywhere you go because of its light weight and few components. Your coffee drips directly into the thermal mug, thus, making for fast coffee without the pouring. Other features include easy-to-fill water reservoir and permanent filter system.

From Cuisinart comes its 12-cup programmable coffee maker that can be programmed 24 hours in advance. If you need your coffee hot in the morning, just program it the night before and voila! Your mornings are always filled with good coffee as soon as you wake up.
Other lovable feature of this cheap coffee maker a charcoal water filter, variable temperature control and self-cleaning cycle. You may not like it, however, that it can appear flimsier than other affordable coffee makers.

The benefits are basically the same with just a few tweaks depending on the available features. Just remember that, as with other products, you do get what you pay for in coffee makers.
