Reviewing Walmart's Cheapest Coffee Maker | Is it worth the price? 

I bought this for my boyfriend who previously didn’t have a coffeemaker. He lives very far from a Walmart and in general most suburban retail. He needed something and this was a good deal, free shipping. He loves it, as he’s not a coffee snob. Before this maker he was having to walk to the corner store for a cup of coffee in the snow, so I had to do something :) It also saves him money from buying multiple cups of coffee somewhere. I’m happy if it lasts him a year.

They're not that bad. We had one before and we just bought one to replace a Keurig that died after a year. 13 bucks beats 80 any day of the week. That's not the cheapest Walmart coffee; that would be the classic roast in a can. We drink it; it tastes just fine.

Did you guys run clean cycles on the maker? You're supposed to brew with vinegar and wash it.

I love your reviews I feel I learn so much by your in depth explanation of things you try!

I had this same maker in highschool I got as a Christmas present with the front fill and it was awesome. Wish they stayed with that design instead of going with the top fill. The shower head was bigger and you didn't have to remove it from it's spot.

Home-made coffee is always better than Starbucks! Love your channel and would love to see more cheap coffee maker videos in the future!

If you spent $17, you spent too much. Next time get everything at the Swap Meet ☕️😂

Great Value coffee is what I always use. It tastes just as good as Folgers or Maxwell House. It really wouldn't surprise me if GV coffee isn't one of the name brands that is packaged and labeled to order for Walmart.

I love cheap coffee makers ❤️!!! We all can't afford Keurig coffee makers. You guys are incredibly sarcastic. You're probably proud of yourselves. Pity.

Had you run a pot or two of water through the pot before brewing coffee (as other makers recommend ) you might have tasted the plastic less. If it lasts a year it will be as reliable as the more expensive brands have proven to be.

I have a Walmart coffee maker from 2012. It still works fantastic. In those days it was called Rival not Mainstays. It was only $9 so cheap stuff can last. The only issue is the white does stain overtime. The inside of my filter tray is brown. I would recommend buying a black coffee maker. I will next time.

I have a method with that Walmart machine, I leave the carafe out set a timer for 2 minutes stir and then place the carafe. It can make it taste a bit better on that maker. It does get way to hot I think

why is so much water at the top? i know this video is older.. but when i brewed with it, there was a lot of water where the filter is 😭

I'm actually looking for a good brewer since living on my own. Never ordered from Starbucks before but recently I got a decent coffee by asking the guy to fix me a decent shot of caffeine that taste good without too much sugar. It cost me 6 bucks but it was good and just what I needed before my long walk home. I think I'll try a cowboy coffee pot. The review here was worth watching and thanks!

That's not actually the cheapest one they have they have one for 9$

I bought this about 3 years ago after my Ninja coffee maker broke. Paid $9. I was overwhelmed by the selection of coffee makers and couldn't decide which one. Figured I'd get this dirt-cheap one and use for a few days while I did more research. 3 years later I'm still using it. But I use decent coffee. This and my aero press work for me!

I purchased this from Walmart about 5 years ago. I'm not really a coffee person, I purchased it to brew iced tea in, getting the large Walmart large tea bags and put it in a gallon pitcher then fill it with cold water. It died on me about a week ago, the water reservoir developed a crack and about half of the water ended up on the counter, but considering the price and how frequently i used it I'm about to purchase a second one simply because my "ergonomic" coffee pitcher will work in the maker allowing me to have a spare in case i get clumsy. It looka like they modified the water reservoir, so maybe I'll get six years out of this one

Yuban is very strong in the caffeine department and Maxwell House and Folgers coffee and Hills Bros coffee ☕ Walmart Great Value coffee is okay, i my coffee grounds from family Dollar and Dollar General sometimes , i regularly my coffee from Amazon Prime and Walmart, i have looking for a cheap Brand Coffee maker Mainstay 12 cup Coffee maker probably hold until black Friday.

Thank you it was educational I do think the Great Value Fresh roast would have been a better choice.(Even though I am curious about the Robusta coffee now. I will try it and see what I think about it.) I am going to try that That said I used the smaller version of that coffee maker, I washed it out before the first use. I am guessing that was why i didn't get so mach of that plastic taste. Better filters do help a lot as well (I noticed a more paper taste with them than other brands I have tried. Anyways just wanted to say thank you!

I love this coffee maker. I've had mines for almost 3 years

Had gotten the Great Value brand mocha, since thats all Walmart had instore. It tastes burnt, though might just be the flavor of that coffee. Saw this randomly pop up as I went looking for the difference of price on New England Coffee. It is interesting what sort of prices coffee makers are as well

i suggest trying the Great Value Columbian or the French Silk over the Donut Shop, Breakfast Blend, and other flavors..

I had an ancient Mr. Coffee, and broke the glass carafe. The carafe in these is an exact clone. The coffee maker complete was 12.88 on sale. Kept the carafe, threw the coffee maker away. Go figure. I looked at the more expensive coffee makers at Walmart and could not find one I liked. I like disposable filters. Nor do I want a Rube Goldberg coffee maker.

Short cords on appliances is a safety feature to prevent people plugging them into a faraway outlet, particularly across a walking area, creating hazards. There are regulations around the length of these cords preventing manufacturers from making the cords longer. It isn't about cutting costs this time.

You're supposed to run through 2 cycles of h2o to get rid of plastic smell and taste

This coffee machine is $9.99on eBay. I ordered one after becoming a coffee drinker full time

I would never buy walmart coffee beans but I really like their coffee makers. Just use some decent coffee.

I bought one and after about thirty uses equipped trip and ride

How much BPA exposure, I still hope to have kid's someday.

It’s okay, I like coffee snobs, and pretense😊

Did you really expect these guys to recommend the cheapest coffee maker made? They wouldn't be coffee snobs if they did.

just for measuring the coffee you guys won the Like 😂 and is Great Value Coffee not Great Taste haha 🤣

Sara Lee makes Great Value Coffee

you guys are hilarious you made my day better with this cheap thing! 🤣🤣🤣

They brew so slow after a couple of months.

Imagine that, drip brew coffee isnt that bad. Not surprising since this design of coffee maker has to be purposefully designed wrong to screw up. However i must say, i never thought I could ever feel so inferior based on my coffee preferences.

Coffee REQUIRES 200 degree brew temp. NO WALMART CRAP EVEN COMES CLOSE TO THAT.

Wait... did you let it do at least one cycle without the grounds and thoroughly wash the pitcher just to wash out the manufacturing residue? Brave, if you didn't. That is where the chemical taste might come from: it's actual chemicals like plastic mold release and whatever oils they use in manufacturing the metal components. And if present: conservants so the materials of the maker itself don't degrade when sitting in non-climate controlled warehouse storage for maybe years. Price can be a LOT more important then flavour. Especially if the purpose of the drink is to give you that dark bitter kick to force-shove that cucumber sandwitch down the gullet before heading off to work. For the longest time I was all on that freeze-dried goodness because it's fast, compact and relatively affordable. Not so much anymore but I always travel with a jar of it. I have been trying to convince myself to go to whole bean but machines for those have some GLARING disadvantages that I have yet to see anyone really fix. They are a bit slow but the mortal sin is that they are loud. Too loud. If you live in an apartment that doesn't have the best soundproofing, firing one of those puppies up in the morning makes it sound like a construction site just popped up. No bueno. Does not mater how well the java tastes if the neighbors raise a fuss or your own sense of regret lessens the enjoyment.

🤣😂🤣😂

Wow. The end was very rude. #CoffeeMakerLivesMatter

the snobbery here...jeez

How very discerning of you, picking the one box off the shelf that ''looks like it's been tossed around a bit''.. so you could add a snarky comment. Even the user manual drew ridiculous comments, obviously you assume anyone who buys one of these is just ripe for ridicule from 'connoisseurs' like you'

I"ll never get back my 15 minutes. Wasted...

I just bought this machine in april of 2024 and it is NOT 12 cups! It is marked on the carafe and the reservoir 12 cups but only holds 8 cups. This isn't a deal breaker for me but it is false advertisement from the manufacturer. Buyer beware!

Most people looking on a RU-vid channel that is reviewing a cheap coffee maker probably can only afford a cheap coffee maker just fyi
