Affordable Elder Friendly Coffeemakers

by: Nellie Day on: 11-10-2009

Coffeemakers can be as simple or complex as you’d like them to be. They can come with every bell and whistle under the sun, or they can stick strictly to the task at hand - brewing a hot cup of Joe. Being that the senior population is a diverse consumer base, chances are that your personal taste for coffeemakers falls somewhere in the middle of these two extremes. That’s why ElderGadget is committed to providing you with an array of coffeemakers at different price points and with different features that may or may not strike your fancy, depending on what’s important to you. Below is a list of affordable coffeemakers that should provide you with everything you need to carry out your morning routine or to host a few friends for game night. Automatic Shut-off Hamilton Beach 10-Cup Brewstation — 47374; $13.99
Shutoff
This coffeemaker, which pours one cup at a time, will keep coffee hot for two hours before shutting down. It's perfect for seniors who live with sporadic coffee drinkers or for those who often host guests because those who want a cup can have one poured at anytime, while those who may want one later can rest assured that the coffee will remain hot. Another great feature of the Hamilton Beach Brewstation is that you can brew your coffee straight into your favorite cup, eliminating the need for a heavy carafe. Safety Handle Kalorik USKTKM2 10 Cup Programamable Coffee Maker; $17.99
Handle
The Kalorik has a nice round handle that wraps around the unit, providing extra protection for knuckles that may otherwise get burned. Unbreakable Carafe Black & Decker DCM600BT 5-Cup Thermal Coffeemaker, Black; $22.26
Carafe
Thermal carafes don't require coffeemakers with hot bases, which can burn the coffee, not to mention fingers. This Black & Decker model contains a stainless-steel carafe that won’t break if it hits the floor or the side of a wall. Accessible Filter Baskets Wagan EL2307 Personal Mini Coffee Maker; $17.95
Lid2
Smaller coffeemakers are great because they’re compact, lightweight and perfect for people who live alone or are always on the go. However, their slight parts can be difficult to use, resulting in a frustrating experience. The Wagan removes some of these frustrations because its lid and water reservoir are attached, requiring only a simple lift to access both. This particular coffeemaker is perfect for automotive travel. Large Visuals Black & Decker DCM600B 5-Cup Coffeemaker, Black; $19.99
Visuals
This Black & Decker has large white-on-black numbers, thick hash marks and adequate spacing. The on/off button is also represented by a large, lit-up red switch that’s clearly marked with “Off” and “On.”
