Ranking the best bargain brewers is an interesting exercise.
In some cases, like the Mixpresso K-Cup Brewer, it’s about finding a reasonably priced machine that performs well for the price. In other cases, like with the Hamilton Beach 49970, it’s about finding a dirt cheap unit that gets the job done.
This brewer only works with soft coffee pods, such as the Melitta brand pods, which means no K-Cup compatibility.
