How to choose
Carafe size against single serve
A carafe figure counts cups for a group, while a single-serve figure counts ounces for one cup. The BUNN brews a 10-cup carafe and a 20oz travel mug, so it suits a household that also wants one mug at a time. The Ninja brews single servings from 6oz to 24oz. The Hamilton Beach brews up to 6 cups in the carafe and also brews a single serving, so compare the carafe figure with how many cups you brew at once.
Brew styles and coffee input
Brew styles describe what the machine can make, and coffee input describes what goes into it. The Ninja offers 4 brew styles, Classic, Rich, Specialty and Over Ice, and takes pods and grounds, including K-Cup pods. The Hamilton Beach offers 7 ways to brew, including drip, single serve, French press, pour over and cold brew. The BUNN takes grounds and brews drip coffee, so match the input and the styles to the drinks you actually make.
Upkeep and warranty basics
Check what comes in the box and what the filter setup asks of you. The Ninja includes a permanent filter, a pod adapter, a scoop and a removable brew basket. The Hamilton Beach includes a 6-cup glass carafe, a cold brew filter and a French press, and its removable parts can go in the dishwasher. The BUNN uses a reusable filter in size #4 and carries a 3-year warranty, while the Hamilton Beach carries a 1-year warranty.
