Just because you have a small kitchen doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice the convenience of making and enjoying coffee at home. Whether you prefer your coffee midnight black, light and sweet, or icy cold with a hint of chicory, there’s a coffee maker out there that will help you get your jitter on with little effort.
For coffee lovers, having a small space can sometimes be unavoidable, but there’s no reason to make sacrifices — especially first thing in the morning. You don’t have to be a barista to make delicious coffee drinks at home, and fortunately, you won’t need to sacrifice much space either.

Keurig Single-Serve Coffee Maker
Amazon
With the number of features this single-serve coffee maker has, it’s surprising it only brews one cup at a time. If a steaming cup isn’t your style, use the brew-over-ice feature that compensates for your coffee’s strength so melting ice won’t water it down. Brew directly into your favorite cup or a travel mug up to 7 inches tall. The removable 48-ounce reservoir allows you to brew several cups before it needs refilling.
Tastyle One-Cup Coffee Maker
Amazon
With a built-in travel handle and direct brew-to-cup feature, this compact coffee maker is ideal for someone who wants to brew a cup on the go. Perfect for a small kitchen space, at the office, or on a camping trip, this coffee maker allows you to switch between K-style pods or fresh grounds with the included pod holder and reusable filter. Fill the attached reservoir to the 6-, 8-, 10-, or 12-ounce markings to customize the strength of your coffee.
Nespresso Essenza Mini Espresso Machine
Amazon
Feel like you’re staying at a boutique hotel every morning when you use this stylish espresso machine. The Nespresso mini espresso machine is about as close as you can get to having a sprawling high-end espresso maker without requiring a lot of counter space. Although pricey, it’s easy to use, produces rich, full-flavored espresso. It heats up in 30 seconds and uses Nespresso pods to get your day started deliciously.
Chemex Ottomatic Coffee Maker Set
Amazon
If you want something iconic for your small space, art and science collide to make the Chemex coffee maker set. Invented by a chemist, the beloved mid-century pour-over design has been elevated with the convenience of an attached reservoir, allowing you to brew up to 8 cups of hot or cold coffee at the touch of a button.
AeroPress Coffee Press
Amazon
If an espresso machine, a French press, and a pour-over coffee maker partnered up, they likely still couldn’t make as good a cup of coffee as an AeroPress. Inspired by all three of those brewing methods, AeroPress achieves its flavor by applying pressure and micro-filtration to extract a brew with highly nuanced flavors. Compact and portable, the AeroPress weighs only 10 ounces and can easily fit in a drawer.
Bayka French Press Coffee Maker
Amazon
There’s something satisfying about steeping a French press tableside and enjoying the strong flavor this brewer provides. Bayka’s four-level filtration system keeps more spent grounds inside its high-quality borosilicate glass than lower-quality presses. Resistant to thermal shock, this French press is easy to clean and dishwasher-safe.
OutIn Nano Portable Espresso Machine
Amazon
This self-heating espresso machine is powered by an internal USB-C rechargeable power bank that allows you to pull up to five shots of espresso with room-temperature water on a single charge. Compatible with both Nespresso pods and your favorite ground espresso, you’ll never brew a boring cup. Twenty bars of pressure means you’ll have plenty of crema in your cup, whether you’re enjoying an Americano or taking your espresso shot straight up.
OXO Cold Brew Coffee Maker
If you love cold brew and order it regularly, your local coffee shop may not be happy when you try the OXO cold brew coffee maker. This machine makes cold brew just like the professionals, because it’s steeped for 12-24 hours before you can enjoy it. Your reward is nuanced flavors like citrus, dark chocolate, and stone fruit, with a lower level of acidity.
Grosche Milano Moka Pot
Amazon
Italians have always loved strong coffee, but until the Moka pot was invented in the mid-century, there wasn’t a solution for getting espresso-style coffee at home. Fortunately, it has stood the test of time, and this simple-to-use coffee maker makes very robust coffee on any stovetop. Heat allows steam and pressure to build, and hot water gets passed through the grounds, making a strong cup of coffee.
