[00:00] But does the average user like them? - [Julian] I put them in a room with three strangers - [Julian] Here's what they really thought.
[00:13] [upbeat music] [upbeat music] - This one I like.
[00:26] But then also extremely hard to use. - [Jesse] I like the squareness of it. - I think it would actually look really good
[00:38] less intimidating to me. I'm attracted to the simplicity of it. - Not sure if it's gonna fit under my counter.
[00:51] - I do like that. once you do turn the coffee machine off, - It looks sophisticated. - This one's so difficult.
[01:04] - I feel like we've started a chemistry set. really good coffee. in like the very back of it?
[01:18] - You know, I kind of like the narrow profile it might wobble and like lean over. - I really do think that would fit
[01:32] - You like the small one? - I like the small one. If it looks hotel looking- [group laughs]
[01:44] [upbeat music] - Oh my gosh. - We're at sea level. profiles.
[01:56] 205 Fahrenheit. It has a countdown. so you don't totally know when it's done,
[02:08] - Where does the coffee go? - I can do that. - Amazing, lid. - Well, bam. - That was pretty easy, right?
[02:23] Let's try to make this one, C. - Do you guys prefer having a separate water tank - Because this one is so tall,
[02:37] it would be much easier to have a removable tank. but this machine is just kind of too bulky. - Close that. - Okay.
[02:51] - [Abrielle] I know. - I don't wanna say that we've been bested but we probably need a manual on this one.
[03:04] - [Jesse] All right, so D. - Screw down. - It gets screw down. that's very suspicious to me.
[03:18] Let's remember to use that thing. - So we put this like this, yeah. And this part lines up with the part here.
[03:32] - Clicks in and then... - Yeah. - Whoa. - It's a little intimidating at first,
[03:48] I like it. - It's entertaining too. - [Abrielle] Same. - Oh.
[04:00] brew icon will appear. - So that means it's brewing- - I think it's brewing. and that's why we got the red flashing button.
[04:13] But also I don't feel like that's a strong indication - No, imagine just waiting there. This one, water tank is back here.
[04:25] - Oh, really? - I don't think so. like two of these bottles of water, once we actually get it going
[04:39] A little questionable. - Yeah. - Yeah, that's nice. - That is actually very nice. - [Abrielle] Wow.
[04:53] Hot. - Hot. - Oh, so we can select the amount of water that we want. - I feel defeated, - But honestly
[05:05] [group laughs] - So let's start where we originally started brewing. - It stayed hot,
[05:19] - You think the carafe should have maybe there's settings in there It's a little maybe fruity.
[05:32] We brewed all the machines with the same beans. so much of it is recognizing the coffee itself once we've tried going down the line.
[05:47] Yeah, definitely hotter. - That's terrible. with this that I did not get on the first one.
[06:01] So there's no adjustments you can make to this. I think it's a bit smoother. - This was the really tall machine.
[06:15] I'm not getting any strange flavors. - Taste and flavor profile, was the most unapproachable.
[06:28] I'm getting more fruity notes compared to C. - Considering that I drink so much of it, - I like the flavor of it just fine.
[06:44] You'd think that machine was gonna I actually really liked the machine. - Maybe I'm changing my mind.
[06:56] - So the machine impacts your taste of it. - Okay. - It would be good with a couple sugars, yeah.
[07:10] - Okay. - All right, E. - Yeah, cheers guys. - Cheers. - It's like hot water.
[07:23] - It was the most intuitive one and then the coffee was just meh. - I thought C was the best. - Yeah, I think C's
[07:36] Boldest, it was hot. - I think C is the clear winner in terms of taste. Feel free to discuss amongst yourselves
[07:49] - [Patrick] I agree with that. 225 on that one. - I think B has got to be the cheapest one.
[08:03] - [Jesse] I agree with that. I'm sure that this is either the most expensive - [Abrielle] I feel like this one might-
[08:16] 107. - Yeah, 107. - You two got all of them correct. and it is 400 bucks.
[08:30] It has a lot of customization options in there. So obviously it's the cheapest. maybe our tester had a different experience.
[08:46] that is quite a big gap. great tasting cup. Does not really actually have a lot of the advancements
[08:59] The reason why we like this one it's repairable, has the longest warranty. and this metal tube especially,
[09:12] and makes a good cup of coffee. So I'm very glad that you guys went that route.
[09:24] and it just didn't really do well that's actually the highest scoring for me. I liked the look of it.
[09:39] you guys tended to like the ones but obviously the Aiden is our top pick. Coffee is a very personal and a finicky thing.
[09:52] Would you spend $400? [Patrick laughs] - I feel like a drip machine is your first experience
[10:04] From a box store I would consider all of these more of a premium option. - [Julian] Which of these would you actually
