Best in Test: Which Coffee Pot do Swedes Rave About?

Best in Test: The Actual Test

Is coffee an elixir of life here in Scandinavia or just something Swedes offer their guests? Which feature is most important on the list – good design or good coffee? Maybe both aspects? Those are just some of the questions that the Bäst-i-test team answers. This team has been my go-to for a review of many consumer products during my time here in Sweden!

They create all of the tests themselves and use a long test period. Their testers are experts in their specific field. The tests take place over a longer period of time in order to provide a reliable picture of build quality, functionality, design and customer experience. This testing methodology combined with their independence from product manufacturers and service providers means the Swedish people can trust their tests and is the reason why I want to share their point of view with you.

To become a Best in test winner, the coffee machine must above all make a really good and hot coffee, be easy to use and preferably be a feast for the eyes in its place in the kitchen.

Wilfa Svart Performance is a really good coffee maker with a water tank that can be easily removed, filled and can also be washed in the dishwasher. The design is stylish and has a nice matte finish, that will blend in seamlessly into any kitchen.

Best in Test: Best Premium Coffee Maker

The Wilfa Black Precision WSP-2A makes an incredibly tasty coffee thanks to its high brewing temperature and its smartly designed water tank. The combination of freshly grinded coffee beans and this coffee maker, will make you an extraordinary coffee.

Best in Test: Budget Friendly Choice

The Philips HD 7456 is a really affordable coffee maker that brews directly into a thermos. The fact that the coffee ends up directly in a thermos during brewing means that the coffee is kept warm, which reduces the risk of wastage, and it also saves energy as you don't have to keep the plate warm afterwards. The fact that the coffee maker switches itself off immediately when brewing is complete is also a plus. The thermos holds the heat well, immediately after brewing the coffee is 87°C, a quarter of an hour later the bäst-i-test team measured the temperature at 85°C and another two hours later the temperature was at 78°C.

Best in Test: Most Aesthetically Pleasing

Moccamaster has for several decades been a very popular and well-liked coffee maker and it is easy to understand why: it is both stylish and brews very good coffee. That many devoted coffee lovers use the Moccamaster coffee maker says a lot.

Best in Test: Value for Money

Melitta Aroma Signature DeLuxe offers a tasty coffee that is both well-balanced and aromatic. Many of the testers named this coffee their favorite. The slightly angular design is a clear flirtation with the retro kitchen and the coffee maker generally feels very solid and of high quality. Melitta Bentz is the woman we have to thank for today's filter brewing, and it's not hard to understand why this company continues to makes high-quality products.
