10 Best Coffee Makers Under $100 for Mountain Bikers: You Won’t Believe #7!

Coffee is an essential part of any mountain biker’s routine. It provides the necessary caffeine boost to keep you going on long rides. But with so many coffee makers on the market, it can be hard to know which one to choose. In this guide, we’ll take a look at the best coffee makers under $100 that are perfect for mountain bikers.

Drip Coffee Makers

Drip coffee makers are the most popular type of coffee maker. They’re easy to use and produce a consistent cup of coffee. Here are some of the best drip coffee makers under $100:

1. Bella Pro Series 90061

The Bella Pro Series 90061 is a 14-cup coffee maker that is especially easy to use. It’s convenient to set up, to operate, and to clean up. Our testers also found it easy to hold the handle and to empty the carafe. Plus, this machine offers very good brew performance.

 

2. Black+Decker CM4000S

The Black+Decker CM4000S 12-cup drip coffee maker earns an impressive rating for its ease of use, as well as very good scores for brew performance and carafe handling. However, when we tried to brew a full pot using a filled-up filter in an additional test, the carafe overflowed.

 

3. Cuisinart Brew Central DCC-1200

With stellar carafe handling and near top-level scores for both convenience and brew performance, the Cuisinart Brew Central DCC-1200 programmable drip coffee maker is a great choice. This 12-cup coffee brewer includes a built-in water filter and an indicator for when it needs cleaning but lacks features such as a thermal carafe and small-batch settings, which may be important to some consumers.


 

Single-Serve Coffee Makers

Single-serve coffee makers are perfect for those who only want to make one cup of coffee at a time. Here are some of the best single-serve coffee makers under $100:

Chashing the route with the shadows.

So, winter is long gone here in Greece and it’s getting hotter by the day.  As a result, I mostly ride after 18:00 chasing the shadow trails and fire roads avoiding the sun.  Nevertheless, my legs killed me that day, I could hardly stand up on the bike when descending the trails.  You see I added lunges to my strength training workouts and my legs were toast. 

Plus, I’m taking on the Return To Earth 30-Day Trailforks Ride Challenge.  Check it out they are giving away a Trek Slash, pretty cool if you ask me.  

Below is a video of Wednesday’s ride.  

 

 

The newest neewbie

The fact is that I have no idea how to shoot and edit videos.  I took a shot at post-processing videos according to the Loam Rangers’ how to use DaVinci Resolve.  I wanted to tinker with color correction, highlight, and shadows just to get a feel how things work. The truth is I knew less than I thought I did.  I’m such a newbie at this that I couldn’t even “load” a video to DaVinci Resolve.  The good news is that there is always help and it’s called YouTube.  So, I found this video Learn DaVinci Resolve Basics – Part 1 (Project settings and how to import media) and it helped a ton.  Now at least I can tinker with the videos I have on my phone.

As new as I am to this fascinating world, I can now adjust the shadows, highlights, color, and sharpness of the videos.  Of course, that doesn’t mean that I can make or edit a good video, but I’m I hope I’ll get there.  Hopefully, soon enough I’ll have some mountain bike footage to work on. 

Having said that, another rabbit hole I will go down is camera settings like resolution, framerate, the field of view and aspect ratio just to mention some.  Put simply I have to learn a lot.
