Let’s take a look at 5 of the best 4 cup coffee makers…
On average, Americans drink 2 to 3 cups of coffee a day. Statista Global Consumer Survey reported in 2017 that 44% of Americans drink 2 to 3 cups, 16% have 4 to 5 cups, 5% drink 6 to 8 cups. The data is based on 7 oz cups, so if you drink 14 oz per day, that is roughly 2 cups of coffee.
If you fall into these categories of coffee drinkers or if your household has 2 adults that need 1 to 2 cups per person per time, a 4 cup coffee maker will fit the bill for your coffee fix.

Want a toaster, a coffee maker, and a griddle in one compact machine? Nostalgia came up with the best idea to combine all three in their 3-in-1 Breakfast Station. Measuring a mere 18.5 in x 8 in x 13 in and weighing only 10.9 pounds, it can fit in a small space on your kitchen countertop. Suitable for your boat or RV countertop as well.
The only downside is the coffee maker only delivers 24 oz, which means 6 oz is considered a cup for Nostalgia.

For over 120 years, Farberware has been serving American families with kitchenware, and it’s one of the first few companies that introduced coffee percolators to American kitchens. Coffee percolators were patented by an Illinois farmer named Hanson Goodrich in 1889. The percolator is said to have been invented by an American soldier that resided in Paris before 1889.
Farberware patented the automatic coffee percolator in 1957, and a 1966 electric percolator was on display at the National Museum of American History. Take a look at the photograph at the Smithsonian National Museum’s website if you can’t go and see it in person.
Today’s Farberware percolator is made similar to the chrome plated, black plastic molding and detachable cord like the 1966 model.
