Every time I think project farm can’t come up with more relevant categories, he manages to impress
Thank you very much! This means a lot to me!
@@ProjectFarm Right! Just this past Monday I decided to get a coffee maker for my office. I did not realize the price of coffee makers has risen quite a but since the last time I got a non pod coffee maker. This video has helped me tremendously. Nothing fancy needed here, Black n decker here I come.
Can you test 12/24 coffee makers for car / truck or boat . @@ProjectFarm
Love all of these videos
Bong review. 🙂
Just an anecdote about Bunn: My dad had a Bunn at his house that he bought two decades prior that suddenly stopped heating. He got on an appliance repair website asking if anyone knew how to fix a Bunn coffeemaker that stopped heating and a Bunn employee responded to him in private messages to have him ship the 20 year old coffee maker to them so they could inspect the method of failure and they shipped him a brand new one free of charge the same day. Incredible customer support.
Wow! That’s the real deal.
Great testimony. Old school service lives!
I use BUNN Tall Filters. "They Tower Above The Rest". No overspill. Won't do without them. If I thought I was going to live another twenty years (73 y.o.) I would spring for that coffee maker.
Very impressive…lol
@@BroMark1611 Agreed! The filters are worth it. Bunn may not keep the coffee as hot as the rest but you don’t want your coffee even hotter than when it was brewing because that means it is cooking. You don’t want that 😅, or well I don’t.
Dude tasted coffee from every pot, now we know why he is so energetic in his videos.
lmao
We're gonna test that
Lol
zing! LOL
Coffee needs some minerals from water to taste better.
The fact that i just watched a 17 minute coffee maker comparison video in full, and i dont even drink coffee at all... actually never have in my life.... That's the support you deserve Mr. Project Farm lol
Thanks so much!
Same!
You’re missing out! I go to bed at night and can’t wait to get up and have a cup!
My old grandma always said, "Never trust a tea drinker!"
@@bsvenss2 why?
Need the James Hoffman Project Farm collab for this one.
I don't even like coffee. But I never miss a Project Farm video!
Awesome and thank you!!
Now which one will you use moving forward to cook motor oil?
@@ProjectFarmthank yoh
Same
Same, but very interesting.
Been using the BUNN coffee maker in my family for over 25 years now and my whole family swears by it. The advantage of the shape of the pouring spout is not really at high speed pouring, but low speed "getting close to the top of the cup" pour. It's been the only coffee maker I have never spilled coffee with no matter what. Absolutely love it and can not recommend the BUNN enough.
Thanks for the feedback.
BUNN life!!!
I totally agree the little plastic stick thing on the lid is the trick i spill coffee everytime from a cheap one. Because i expect it to just pour coffee. 😂
Big difference between the old commercial BUNN coffee machines and the new plastic ones unfortunately. I ordered one about a year ago and returned it for a Moccamaster. It definitely did not make the good coffee like the one at my job. It's a corporate job but luckily the C levels take coffee seriously lol
I have quite a bit of experience with coffee makers and recommend the following, trust me!
1. Technivorm Moccamaster KBT741 (have had mine for 15 years now!!) - $420
2. Zojirushi EC-YTC100 - $250
3. Hamilton Beach Professional 12 Cup 49500 - $120
These are all high wattage machines and make coffee fast, hot, and strong! The Zojirushi doesn’t use a cone filter (important imho) but it still cranks out a amazing cup
Thanks for the feedback.
But for real though the Technivorm Moccamaster line is the best in the business and the most consistent at maintaining target temp for best taste consistently. Craftsmanship lasts for multiple replacements of others as I was on my 3rd Mr Coffee every 2-3 lifespan.
Going camping soon. Would love to see some camping gear tested. Sleeping bags, tents, bear proof containers, sleeping pads, or cookware
There's actually a park in the United States that lets their bears test bearproof containers
Thank you for the video ideas!
Super entertaining too! @@GOAT_GOATERSON
I second this one, also RV stuff like upgraded water pumps, blind-spot and backup cameras, etc
Would love to see camping or backpacking gear!
My wife being a baker would appreciate a test between different stand mixers. SMEG, Kenwood, Kitchen aid etc.
Thank you for the video idea!
@@ProjectFarm i agree would be a good test !
Cuisinart too & some other brands would be great too
Isn't Kenwood a car stereo brand? 😂
seconded! any chance you have a rating for availability of replacement parts?
Thank you project farm for all your videos. I've learnd so much from all of them greatly appreciated!
You are welcome!
Super glad you made this video as I was just about to go looking for a new coffee make. Thanks as always for the amazing video
You are so welcome!
Let's just take a little time here to appreciate how nuch work goes into these videos:
•Buying the products (I calulated $896, likely before taxes and shipping)
•Buying anything else needed for the test
(Distilled water here, maybe a meter, those blade sharpness testers [although he probably has a stock of them on hand], fuel for saws and such)
•Creating a test rig if needed,
•actually performing the tests,
•(for oils) Sending the samples to a test lab and paying for that likely,
•Filming the Intro, Outro, Unboxing and Tests,
•Recording VO (Voiceover),
•Creating the graphs,
•Editing the video
•Creating the final spreadsheet with the highlights...
It was a, lot of work just to read that list.. Probably even more work to do all those things and also thinking of every little thing to test and how fairly test them, has got to be time consuming as well..
Thanks so much!
Exactly. I can’t even imagine. All the more reason for peeps to hit the ‘Like’ 👍
That's why I throw just a few bucks each month at him on Patreon. I don't support every channel that I watch, but I do for a handful that clearly put in a good deal of effort on research, script writing, and have overhead beyond just recording and editing equipment. This one here is about as worthy as they come.
Former audio engineer here. His audio is basically perfect.
Most people don't realize how important this is:
Google this study: "The quality of audio influences whether you believe what you hear"
Here's a quote from the article:
"Next time you are recorded, make sure you have good sound quality, [the researchers] wrote. Your credibility depends on it."
I bought a Bunn about 30 years ago and it still works perfectly. No fancy anything, just a consistently good brew.
Thanks for the feedback.
PERFECT TIMING!!!! My coffee maker is dying and I have to buy a new one this week. Thanks for much for covering these.
You are welcome! Glad to hear the timing was perfect!
I'm amazed how this guy each time comes up with new categories and tests... Truly amazing work.
I watched the whole video of which coffee maker was a good choice... And I'm not a coffee guy 😂
Keep it up 🙏
Greetings from Casablanca Morocco 🙏
Greetings! Thank you very much!
Me either, don’t drink it. But if there’s a new PF video, I’m watching it!
The possibilities with this channel are endless. Thank you
Thanks and you are welcome!
I just finished watching a "best coffee maker" comparison.
I don't even need to buy a coffee maker.
You are very thorough and enjoy watching your videos for informational purposes!
Thanks.
You are welcome!
You're once again doing us all a great service, thank you brother!
Thanks and you are welcome!
Great video! It has been more than 10 years that I haven't used an electric coffee maker anymore since I bought a french press, and I have been happy with it all these years.
Thanks! Thanks for the feedback.
Some good tests but I would add the technovorm moccamaster - it's worth every penny.
Also, brew temperature should be between 195 & 205 degrees during the entire brew cycle. Most start too cool and finish too hot.
Too cool will give under-extracted coffee tasting like wood. Too hot will give over-extracted coffee which will be astringent and harsh.
Brew temp can be measured with thermocouplers between the shower head and coffee grounds.
Technivorm Moccamaster is a surpring omission. Well known and very well respected premium coffee maker. Also the Makita is a jobsite model, comparing to these stationary kitchen counter models is comparing apples and oranges.
While it has been the go-to coffee maker here in Europe for longer than I have lived, I think they have fairly limited market penetration in the US.
The Moccamaster is basically unchanged mechanically since it was first designed. When you nail it on the first try, it's sort of hard to "Innovate" 😄
The Moccamaster is really a different category of brewer that wouldn't fit in with these. It's one of several SCA Certified Home Brewers, which have standards of temperature control, flow rate, and dispersion to be tightly controlled in order to get the certification. Everything on that list would be more appropriate to be it's own video, plus a few outside contenders that are trying to emulate those designs for less money.
@@JimmyNewCakes If the Bunn can be on this list then one of the Bonavita brewers could've been there too. Realistically they're not on there because he didn't know any better.
It's arguable that a lot of machines aren't certified because of the cost to do so too.
e.g. it'd be hard to argue that Fellow's new batch brewer is worse than the Moccamaster considering how bad the shower head on the Moccamaster is.
Agreed. Not a test without tecchivoorm and the bonavita.
This is one of the few informational channels on youtube where I don't play it at 2X speed. So much relevant information so quick already, need time to absorb it! Best no-nonsense reviews.
Glad it was helpful!
He already talks at 2X speed. 😆
And thank goodness, no annoying music or promos!!!!! Todd is a class act.
I have to back track to catch the info sometimes.
Thanks bro that was great information I'm about to buy me a new coffee pot now I know you're awesome appreciate it good work
You are welcome!
Great video 👍. Thanks for the information 🔥.
Thanks and you are welcome!
Need to get a technivorm moccamaster in the test. Once you use one of those you'll never go back!
Great suggestion! Thank you
Owned one for 3 years now and never looked back at others, though I do want a good espresso maker around $600 as well. Never know when those days you just want a cup or go a bit extra for a latte 🤣.
The brewing chamber has mostly plastic parts which puts huge amounts on nanoplastics in the coffee. No thanks.
Even 20 years old you can still get parts no need to buy a new one.
I have had a Moccamaster for over 10 years, everyday use and it’s still a champ. Best splurge purchase I have made
I am an over the road truck driver and in my truck I have a Mr. Coffee machine and I have used this machine almost every day for the past 10 years. As far as the actual temperature, I never checked it. But I bought it at Walmart for about $20 and I’m pretty sure that I got my money’s worth.
I love my Mr. Coffee machine. I keep a Breville espresso machine in the house and a Mr. Coffee in the workshop. For 20.00 it does the job with no problem and I don't need to replace filters. Is it the best coffee maker? Of course not, but I'm going to get sawdust in my coffee anyway.
@@foxykins Isn't replacing filters easier than cleaning that screen of the permanent filter?
lol. I doubt it. I bet he bangs the grounds in the trash and brews a new pot. Like he said. He’s going to get sawdust in his coffee anyway.
Thanks for the feedback.
I'll say you did. 👍
I enjoy having a Keurig one cup maker in my big truck. I bought mine almost 3 years ago and it's still going strong. But I seriously doubt that it'll last for 20 years.
In fact, nothing built these days will last that long unfortunately.
Best channel on RUclips hands down! Cheers from Colombia amigo!
Thanks!
I love all your videos. They are very informative. Could you make one on best half inch battery impact guns?
Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.
As someone who sells coffee machines for a living, I was very happy to wake up to this video! well done
You what now?
I was unaware that was a job. Interesting
@@ericbogenschuetz3500 Probably commercial grade.
Thanks!
@@ericbogenschuetz3500 There is a great mang jobs that don't really need to exist that do exist purely in service of commercial office space. It's really something how trivial the stuff can get.
I own that Mr Coffee. I have had it 6 years and still goes strong making delicious black coffee. Well worth the $20 I paid for it when I got it.
Same, mr coffee is a work horse
Thanks for sharing!
I've been using Mr coffees for 30 years and they have never let me down. Great for brewing the grimey thick coffee I love.
Thanks for sharing.
Great channel thanks for all you do
Thanks and you are welcome!
This video is fantastic timing. My coffee maker of many year shorted out over this last weekend. Now I can buy with confidence the best bang for the buck!
Thanks for sharing.
Finally. I’ve been waiting for this video for years. Probably the best one that you’ve ever done. It’s never too hot outside for coffee.
Thank you!
If I am being honest, it gets a little tedious at times seeing all the comments praising you for making these videos....I mean come on. I am guessing it surprises you as well. But I have to admit, since I started watching this channel I have come to appreciate what you do a lot more. I check here before I buy...well pretty much anything. And it's always a thrill when something I have bought or normally buy, ends up being on the top of the list. So I guess in the end the praise is well deserved sir.
All I want right now is a Project Farm / James Hoffmann crossover right now!
Another great video, Todd. I still remember when my mom bought our first "Mr. Coffee" back in the '70s. That thing worked great and lasted 20+ years. These days, those fancy and expensive Keurig coffe makers are very finicky, and we're lucky if they last 2 years, if that long. Unfortunately, this has just become a "disposable" world filled with mediocre products that have planned obsolescence. 😕
Our first Keurig lasted 4 years; the second one lasted 2 years. The third one lasted 4 months! I filed a report with Keurig, sent them pictures of the serial number and receipt; they said they'd replace it but they never did despite a followup phone call. We went back to a drip type coffee machine (Cuisinart).
open up a Keurig and look at the tank after awhile you'll never drink from one again
@@hugostiglitz5173 , we descaled and flushed our Keurigs regularly but the last two machines still failed prematurely.
My parents got a Mr. Coffee in the 70s, and the heating element finally burned out about 10 years ago. About 35 years of daily use isn't too bad.
The Keurig my wife bought in 2005 made it to 2012 before it was not economically repairable.
One of the reasons why I went with a Technovorm Moccamaster is that they are repairable. The company still has parts for machines that are 40+ years old. Though expensive (currently ~$350), mine's 8 years old and still going strong. Meanwhile, my in-laws buy cheap and are on their 3rd or 4th in the same time frame. Buy once, cry once.
Was a bit disappointed to see no moccamaster being compared 🙃
Great video as always tho. Thank you
I was hoping to see that as well since we just bought one lol
Sorry about that! I'll test it if there's enough interest in a round 2 video
Yes! According to ATK, it’s still the best. But I would have loved to hear Project Farms opinion on it!
@@Jerkysan ya, I think it would have been very interesting to see. I have an oxo, also not on the list here and would have really liked to see them both on the list. Though, these, in particular the moccamaster may be better suited for a different channel.
@@ProjectFarm Please do next video with Moccamaster
Great testing! Agree on the black and decker, good value for features
Thanks! Thanks for the feedback.
Another great video. Thank you.
Thanks and yo are welcome!
I have purchased 3 Black and Decker coffee makers in my adult life. They are the best value, with the most features, and most durable coffee makers I have owned. They are my go to brand from now on ! 😊
Thanks for the feedback.
My 1977 Mr. Coffee finally gave up. Canary yellow and still the best I have owned.
Yet auto shutoff is my #1 option.
Don't know how many time leaving the house if I remembers to unplugged the coffee maker.
Your videos are always amazing, thanks for the comparison. If comparing kitchen appliances in the future, please try to include Zojirushi.
Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.
Amazing channel. I really really think that deck/wood cleaner test will be very useful.
Thanks! Thanks for the feedback.
One coffeemaker i think feels mentioning is the Moccamaster. This is a dutch made coffeemaker that has been around since the 60's. They are very simple in design, but last a lifetime. With spare parts avaialble aswel. My KGB moccamaster has been around since 2012 and still runs like a champ. They are expensive however, and would easily set you back 275 dollars .Another great video PF!
275 dollars is probably why he didn't go there
Thanks!
359.00 on Amazon
The one you need to test in this
@@travisjazzbo3490 Yeah and its nothing special. An on and of button. And a button for the hotplate
But they make perfect coffee. There is almost no plastic exept the top covers.
My grandma's moccamaster been around since 1983 and her boiler broke 3 years ago..and technivorm sended her a replacement boiler!
This review was a real eye opener!
Thanks!
Great video as always, you should test some SCA certified brewers. Good luck!
Great overview! That Makita coffee maker is a wild machine - great for what it does. You're definitely spot on about the lifetime achievement award! For a battery powered machine it's really cool.
Thanks!
James Hoffman made a video on this, if you're interested.
@@mangamaster03 I saw it - just hilarious.
I haven't watched yet, but can tell from the price range in the title that the Technivorm Moccamaster is not included. Gotta test that one, best of the best!
Thanks for the suggestion.
This was awesome and deserves every view. Thank you, from coffee drinkers everywhere.
Thanks and you are welcome!
Another great test by PF. Thanks again Todd!
Within the past few months replaced a B&D that had lasted over 10 years with the same model you tested. For the price, cannot be bettered. We had a couple 4-5 cup B&Ds in the RV and they too lasted years of bouncing around while traveling only to be taken to the local 2nd hand store when we sold that RV. Have to 'assume' they may still be working but of course don't know
Thanks and you are welcome! Thanks for the feedback
From Automotive, lawn and garden products to household products! Can't get enough of this channels reviews!
Thanks!
Project Farm is not-so-secretly in love with the Makita... watch for a new and improved Milwaukee+Dewalt single serve battery-powered coffee maker showdown. I'm here for it👍
Handy during a power failure.
I will wait for battery operated Makita tiramisu maker.
You're awesome brother! Thanks for the video.
Thanks and you are welcome!
I remember back when you made that seafoam video on that old ranger. Glad you kept getting after it all these years. Thanks for all your hard work!
You are welcome!
I know a lot about this stuff. The most important factor in making good coffee is water temperature. You want to over 200f. when the water makes contact with the grounds. The ninja might be producing that when the water makes contact with the coffee, cooling when it hits the pot. The very best drip coffee makers like, those made by Mocamaster, heat it to the perfect temperature and then use a pump. With all these cheaper ones, the water rides on top of steam bubbles and spurts on on top. The narrower the tube, the lower the temperature needed to make this happen. I'm surprised the Ninja can do this with its hotter temperature, as the steam bubbles start happening well before boiling, so you need a pump to make it happen at hotter temperatures. Keurig-type coffee makers use a pump for the opposite reason. They can pump much colder water, making the process cooler, but the temperature is way too low--like 165 or so. (They also use less grounds than needed, so the coffee is watery. They make terrible coffee.)
The final chart leaves out temperature, and brew time, which are directly related to the extraction of solids. What you want is for the coffee to extract the solids, but not be in contact with the beans long enough to extract the bitter oils. (This happens after the water is in contact with the ground for more than 3 minutes or so). In terms of making the best coffee, then one with the hottest temperature, and a total brew time of less than 3 minutes after the water starts pouring over the beans, would be the winner.
Agreed
Sure, but it's difficult to measure taste scientifically. Especially with only one person. I have also read about brew times, however my stovetop percolated coffee brews for around 7 minutes, and somehow it's one of my favorite flavors of coffee.
As for viewer suggestions:
1. Best adhesive patches for jeans.
2. Best shoelaces (choose between leather, flexible/stretch, or stiff nylon)
3. Best portable fan (or best, plug-in fan)
4. I've always wanted to see a microwave comparison.
5. I know oil comparisons have been done to death, but I know of a lesser known gear train additive with high surface tension called "Power Up" that I would like to see in comparison with other oil additives/premium oils.
this was awesome video thanks
Thanks and you are welcome!
As always great video. Test idea!!! Lipo storage bags to see if they “really” will contain a Lipo short and fire.
Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.
I love your comparison content. I'm waiting all week for Sunday at 1:00 PM
It's 1am here 💀
Thank you very much!
It's October 7th morning in my home
19:00 here (The Netherlands)
1:00 pm??? I have usually already bought the winning product by then.. I get the videos at 10:00 am....
Summer is basically here, and I’d love if you would be able to do a video regarding fans and which ones can cool a room down better! It’s so hard to actually find a good fan that does its job. Thank you! Keep up the amazing videos! 😊
Oh, if he does that, I'd love to see the Ryobi mister fans in the comparison. I have 3 of them and found them to be stellar indoors and out. Would love to see how they stack up against the usual suspects.
A fan can't cool a room down on its own, all it can do is move the warm air around the room and that movement of air works with your body's evaporative cooling mechanism to cool you down. If anything a fan technically increases the heat in the room because the motor will produce some heat as it runs.
Another great video topic. thx.
What about a video on microwaves?
Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.
great review (as always)
Thanks!
No more Starbucks for me
Save some $$ making coffee at home!
Boycott genocide sponsors.
This YT is on Coffee, where is here the link to Starbucks? 😅
I make my Starbucks at home. At $1.25 per cup, I'm still saving money. My coffee maker is Nespresso Vertuo. 😊
Sales are in decline. 😢
I have a Black and Decker programable from years ago. Still very happy with it.
Nice!
Mines on its second decanter lol. After 5 years it is still going strong.
Great Job Todd.
Really wish you had the mocha master, it’s amazing. I love your videos, keep it up and I’ll keep paying patreon
Thanks,will do! Thanks for the suggestion.
I absolutely love your videos. Thank you for taking the time to make them. Have you ever done a comparison video on car inverters. I know you've done them on jumper packs, but I can't find anything when it comes to inverters. Perhaps an idea.
Thanks and you are welcome! Thanks for the suggestion.
The Bunn is a great coffee maker if used very often. It brews so fast because it keeps the water hot in a heated tank so it doesn’t have to heat cold water to brew a pot. My only concern would be how good would that water be if kept hot for several days? I also much prefer paper filters opposed to permanent filters. The permanent filters often get grounds in my coffee that I don’t like. Bravo Todd!
You’re supposed to drain it if not in use for extended period. I got tired of coffee makers crapping out every year so I bought one of these, so far so good!
Thanks for the feedback.
It can be an issue if you have hard water or rust. After several days the water will discolor as well as boiling off. If you are going to be away more than 3 days, turn it off. If you're only gonna be gone a few days, just run a pot of fresh water through it and let it heat for 15 minutes or so and then run your pot of coffee. If used every day it shouldn't be a problem. I've switched to using distilled water in mine. I add a pinch of Redmond salt in the grounds to add minerals into the coffee so it keeps it out of the heating coils.
The last time I commented on a video of yours you had around maybe 200k subscribers, I am really happy for you hitting past the 3 million mark. Love your videos and the effort that goes into these, keep up the great work.
Thanks, will do!
Hello, long time viewer! Love the reviews of the different stuff.
Can you please do a video on the best earplugs for work
Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.
Thanks for the video!!!
You are welcome!
Amazing how you figure out how to test these items. Well done!
Thank you very much!
I use a French press, all mechanical. Two pieces.
Pull water just under boil to perk.
Haven't yet started roasting the beans. Thanks Project Farm. Seems you are starting to gain viewers more and more. recently saw a guy across the country mention you and your videos. You are becoming the Noble Knight for all Civilians.
bought an automatic one almost 20 years ago now. People laughed at how much it cost me when Starbucks were still a cheap drip price. 14,723 coffees later it still costs me a few cents a coffee and my now antique machine sells used on ebay for what i bought it for retail.
Thank you for the video idea!
I love my French press. It takes a little figuring out for the amount of grounds and how long you leave the grounds in the hot water for different coffee roasts but it honestly makes the best cup of coffee once "tuned in"
I too use a French Press. However, after breaking two glass presses, I bought a stainless steel press; best investment I ever made.
FP coffee is my favorite, but they only make about 4 cups so I had to make coffee 2x a day. Went to diffusion, still not 100% happy.
You guys ever realise this channel is just… great? Like… yeah nah it’s just great. No bs just go. 10/10
Thanks!
Great video always love watching and learning. A Possible idea to test. rc cars like the mph of them or something how they compare.
Thanks! Thanks for the video idea.
I've got a Bunn BTX, and it makes the best coffee of any maker I've ever owned. Not only does it brew a pot in about 2 minutes, but uses very hot water.
The BTX brews directly into a thermos type pot, and doesn't have a coffee warmer. Keeps the coffee hot for about four hours, but I transfer it into a thermos...
Thanks for sharing!
I have the same Thermal Carrafe Bunn BTX as @Backroad_Junkie. I've been using it for many years. Its my favorite coffee maker by far.
I wonder if allowing more time for the tank to heat would have resulted in a higher temperature for the Bunn. My guess is 15 minutes is the minimum time to get an acceptable cup, but, letting it sit for 20 or 30 minutes might have gotten it closer to 200 degrees F.
Bunn uses proprietary filters. I wonder if using the wrong filter might have caused the coffee to flow wrong out of the filter basket?
In any case, this was a fun video to watch. Cheers!
Speaking from (family) experiences through childhood [only had Bunn coffeemakers in the home until I got older]
The Bunn's design is very effective and convenient BUT, they get mineral build-up faster/worse than a 'cheapie' auto-drip maker.
Speaking of mineral fouling:
When a Mr. Coffee was $18-25, I absolutely would 'choose' to do the 'stupid consumer thing' and just replace it when it *eventually* got fouled with minerals. Why? 3/5 times I've cleaned a fouled up Mr. Coffee, the heating element dies. [FYI, using RO water, it can take well over a year before performance is degraded].
Now, that a Mr. Coffee is $30+, I just switched to a $9-12 smaller WalMart generic unit that, brews less coffee but faster.
Most days just 1 '5cup' pot is fine; when it isn't, I just plop in another batch.
@@LRK-GTOur tap water has 95 TDS due to it being acid (well water) and requiring a neutralizer. It will scale up coffee pots and ice makers quickly. To combat that we use RODI water in both. Never need to clean them because of this. Most tap water is going to have minerals in it. Even the water straight out of the well is around 35 and deer park bottled water tests around 20.
Same! Bunn is the best! Try 2/3 cup of Cafe Bustelo
Becoming one of my favorite RUclipsrs - you rock dude - repeat value
Been watching since the beginning, still amazed how you manage your make the highest quality unbiased reviews on so many times I never even realized I needed a review for
I appreciate that!
Amazing video! I would love to see you do one on portable AC units
Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.
I have the Hamilton Beach one (that exact model) and it does pretty well, been about 2 or 3 years since I bought it. Awesome review as always, I also like that you give multiple "Winners" depending on what somebody is looking for in a coffee maker. Feels a lot more honest than somebody raving about a single one like it's the best thing ever. Keep up the great work!! =)
Thanks, will do!
Another outstanding comparison test, well-done PF!
Some future products to test...
Microwave ovens
10" Chefs knives
Coffee grinders
Drill bit sets
Disc grinders (corded and cordless)
Canister vacuums
APCs (all-purpose cleaners)
Thank you!
Thanks and you are welcome!
I have a 4-cup Mr. Coffee Model: DR5, which is used only a few times a year by my son and our guests. From what they tell me, it makes good tasting coffee.
I've had mine for 11 years and still works great!
Thanks for sharing!
I have the DR4 model. I fill it to the 2 cup line, it gives one american sized cup. The flavor is great too.
I have that exact model and I have used it daily for over a decade. I bought a backup for $3 at a thrift store. They are very simple machines seem to last forever.
I would like to see a video about overwintering two and four stroke engines. Every spring I go through a huge process to get my equipment up and running again. How should I store my lawnmower, trimmer, chainsaw, etc.
Thanks for the suggestion.
You used my suggestion! Awesome!
Thanks for the suggesting the video idea.
Now it'd be even better if you could make a video on comparing different kettles. Nice work as always 👍
Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.
I love my electric kettle I brew in a pour over coffee system or French press
Be nice if there was one that turned off when running dry.
I don’t drink coffee but I still watched because I wanted to see your testing methods and I gotta say “very impressive”
I am in the process of buying tires for my truck , it would be an expensive test but I would be interested in things like grip wear life puncture resistance etc and your definitely the guy for it . Thanks for the great content
You are welcome! Thanks for the suggestion.
We're grateful for these videos, they incentivize companies to manufacture products that are well-built and PENALIZE the ones that produce crappy tools.
Thanks!
Never in my mind did I expect a Project Farm coffee maker review...
...but not only is it here, it's so pretty well thought out with all kinds of great information you'd need to make a decision. Very Impressive, Todd! :)
Thank you!
Oh, the coffee snobs are going to go nuts!
I thought the SNOBS go to Starbucks & Dutch Brothers ? Brewing coffee is so Barbaric !
Different kind of snob. Coffee snobs hate burnt Starbux coffee!
I think we're somewhat safe, because most coffee snobs will not buy this kind of machine.
Forgot to add Multimeters to my suggestions list, great channel
Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.
Your literally the best review guy, your my go to for reviews and comparisons lol, when you get a chance could you do a vacuum food sealer machine comparison.
Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion!
This is what im talking about! I love your work, my guy! Thank God i already dis my research years ago and have a Ninja. It's been great!
Would love to see a comparison of more home appliances! Tools aren't just found in the garage!
Thank you for the video idea!
You should do a video on laundry detergent.
Thank you for the video idea!
Been waiting for this 🙌 also suggested it couple weeks ago. Smart choice!
The only truly different coffee maker that was tested is the Bunn. The rest are basically the Mr. Coffee style. The speed isn't the only reason restaurants use them. They just taste better. It's all I've used at my home for 35 years and there is a difference in the flavor due to the rapid brew time. Beans ground fresh and filtered water give a superior cup. I've tried to duplicate it with the Mr. Coffee style types of different brands during my travels but they all taste the same to me. BTW Bunn would have failed your pour test a decade ago. They leaked badly when poured but they updated the spout to what you used and that cured it. Thanks for your videos.
You are welcome! Thanks for the feedback.
Bunn brew just the same as the other Drip. the only difference is the hot water tank is hot all the time and ready to go instantly. For small home use it may not be an energy saver to heat up so much water.
Hi Todd Great work as always , I have suggested tire shine before and would like to suggest car horns for future tests , Please take care and continue to be a blessing to us here
Thanks, will do! Thanks for the suggestion.
Manufacture claims + we’re gonna test that = very impressive!
I don’t drink coffee but make my wife’s coffee often enough to know a good pot from a bad pot. She is in the market for a new coffee maker. I shared the video with her. Thanks for doing what you do.
You are welcome!
Thanks man, you're making the world a better place one video at a time!
Thanks!
I dont drink coffee, but I watched this video. My recommendation next would be maybe a Q and A video, I also think it would be neat to see a tour of the shop and get to know a little bit more about the man who has enriched our lives so much.
Thanks for watching! Thanks for the suggestion.
Very cool testing. The water pouring and spillage is the most important test for me since I'm always on the move. Must admit including the makita made me laugh. I have been using that thing almost daily for years and it's still going. I also use the higher end ninja at home. On my 2nd since my 1st failed heating up. Great video 👍
Thanks! Thanks for the feedback.
My 1st comment after years of watching :)
Great video and unbiased as always.
Would you please compare different weatherproof car covers? I'm wondering which one survives the hot sun longer.
Thanks for the suggestion.
