The Best Coffee Maker for an Airbnb in 2023

All over the world, listings of all shapes and sizes usually have one thing in common: a coffee maker.

If your listing is missing one, it’s time to rethink that because it’s an amenity that is key to getting 5-star reviews.  A majority of the world runs on coffee, and the ability to make a good cup of joe might just be pivotal to getting their day started right. Almost every hotel room offers a coffee maker (albeit one you probably shouldn’t use), and your Airbnb should too.

So which is the best coffee maker for Airbnb? Over our first few years of Airbnb hosting, we’ve discovered what works best.

What is the Best Coffee Maker for Airbnb in 2023?

Keurig K-Supreme Top Pick

The Keurig K-Supreme is the best coffee maker for any Airbnb because of its incredible ease of use and the number of features that will appeal to any guest. One thing to note about putting a Keurig in your listing is that it does restrict your guests to using K-cups. But it should be fine if you’re providing K-cups or a reusable K-cup that they can put their own grounds in. This model includes:

• 75 oz reservoir, allowing 8+ cups of coffee before needing to be refilled
• 5 temperature settings to adjust
• Hot water on demand for tea
• Strength control settings- guests can adjust whether they want their cup to be stronger or weaker
• Touch screen for easy use and programming

Keurig K55

The Keurig K55 is another great option for the best Airbnb coffee maker, but at a much lower price point than the K-Supreme. It’s also a smaller size, so it makes more sense in listings where space is limited. This might work well if you’re renting out just one room instead of an entire house. This model features:

Buyer’s Guide for Coffee Makers

Things to Consider When Choosing a Coffee Maker for Your Airbnb

• Ease of use: The coffee maker you pick should be easy for just about any guest to operate, with clear instructions and minimal steps required to make a great cup of coffee. The last thing you want is for frustrated guests to leave without a cup because they couldn’t figure it out.
• Quality: Of course, you want to brew coffee that is rich in flavor and aroma, with no bitterness or other off-flavors.
• Temperature control: When you have busy guests, you want a coffee maker that can maintain a consistent brewing temperature, so their coffee is always brewed at the optimal temperature. And look for one that will help keep their drink warm.
• Size: The coffee maker should be the right size for your typical guest. For smaller Airbnbs, a single-cup machine works great. For larger stays, keep a 10-pot machine on hand.
• Versatility: A good coffee maker should offer a range of brewing options, so your guests can make coffee just the way they like it. The more personalized, the better.
• Price: Invest in a pot that will last you a while. A good coffee maker doesn’t have to be expensive, but it should be a good value for the price. Serving up a tasty cup in the morning is one way to consistently keep guests happy.

A Cup of Coffee to Make Your Guests Feel at Home

Now that you’ve gotten the best coffee maker for your Airbnb, you should probably assess your other small appliances. We highly recommend installing smart home devices in your Airbnb. Some coffee makers can even work with Alexa. That way, your guests can start brewing a pot before they even step into the kitchen.
