One thing is certain, ask a dozen people the best way to brew the perfect cup of coffee and you'll get a dozen answers. Last week, we asked you which you thought was the best, and then we examined the five best coffee makers based on those nominations. We put them to a vote, and now we're back to highlight the winner.
The venerable French Press and all its brands and varieties (you nominated Bodum, Grosche, Espro, the IKEA Upphetta, and a few others) took the top spot after a fierce battle for first place with just over 30% of the overall vote. Those of you who voted for the French press praised its ease of use, simplicity, and most importantly, its delicious coffee.
In second place with another 30% of the vote, missing the number one spot by a mere 17 votes, was the Bialetti Moka Pot, which had taken the lead in early voting and looked to be the outright winner...until Monday rolled around. Still the Moka Pot has a huge following, and for good reason. In third place with over 23% of the total vote was the Aerobie AeroPress, the portable, single-cup hand-pressed coffee maker that everyone loves. In fourth place were the Pour-overs, including the Chemex, Hario V60, Melitta, and the Clever Coffee Dripper, with close to 13% of the vote. Finally, bringing up the rear was the Technivorm Moccamaster, an amazing (but pricey) automatic drip maker, with 4% of the votes cast.
Of course, we also mentioned a number of honorable mentions in the full roundup, so if your favorite didn't make the top five because it didn't get the nominations required, it might be included in the honorable mentions.
The Hive Five is based on reader nominations. As with most Hive Five posts, if your favorite was left out, it's not because we hate it?it's because it didn't get the nominations required in the call for contenders post to make the top five. We understand it's a bit of a popularity contest, but if you have a favorite, we want to hear about it. Have a suggestion for the Hive Five? Send us an email at tips+hivefive@lifehacker.com!
