The Elite Gourmet EHC-112B is a no-frills manual drip machine priced at $20.89 that earns a 4.2-star average across over 2,200 reviews, strong evidence it reliably does what it promises. Stainless steel construction and a reusable filter add durability and reduce waste at a price most budget shoppers will find hard to beat.
People who want a dead-simple drip coffee maker they don't have to think about, no programming, no pods, no app. The stainless steel build makes it more durable than plastic alternatives at the same price.

You want programmable scheduling, a large capacity carafe, or smart-home integration. The manual operation and compact footprint (5 x 9.5 x 6.5 in) point to a small-batch or personal-use machine, not a full household pot.

Overview
The Elite Gourmet EHC-112B is a manual drip coffee maker built with a stainless steel body in an uncoated finish. At $20.89 it sits firmly in entry-level territory, but its 4.2-star rating from 2,217 reviewers suggests it punches above what the price implies. That's 112 units bought last month, which confirms it's a steady seller, not just a one-time bargain pick.
Operation is straightforward: fill with grounds, add water, press the button. No timer, no display, no proprietary consumables. The reusable filter means no paper-filter purchases. Controls are buttons, and it's not compatible with any smart-home platforms.
The compact dimensions, 5 x 9.5 x 6.5 inches, keep it from dominating a countertop. No capacity in cups or ounces is listed, which is typical for machines sized for one to two servings rather than a full carafe. If you're brewing for a crowd, this isn't the right fit.
Pros
4.2-star rating from 2,217 reviews is unusually strong for a $20 machine
Stainless steel body is more durable than plastic at the same price tier
Reusable filter included, no ongoing paper filter cost
Very compact: 5 x 9.5 x 6.5 in footprint
112 units sold last month signals consistent buyer satisfaction
Cons
Manual operation only, no programmable timer or auto-start
No listed cup capacity, likely a small-batch personal brewer
Not smart-home compatible
Performance notes
No wattage is listed, so brew speed can't be compared directly. Manual operation on 120V means you initiate each brew manually. The stainless steel uncoated finish resists staining better than plastic carafes. Button controls keep daily use simple but offer no customization of brew strength or temperature.
What buyers say
A 4.2-star average from 2,217 buyers is the clearest signal here, for a $20 drip maker, that's a high confidence vote. The ongoing monthly sales of 112 units suggest buyers aren't returning with complaints. Sentiment likely centers on reliability and simplicity rather than advanced features.
The listed specs don't state a cup or ounce capacity. Based on its compact dimensions, it's likely suited for one to two servings per brew cycle rather than a full multi-cup carafe.
Does it work with K-Cups or pods?
No, the EHC-112B is a grounds-only drip machine. It uses loose ground coffee with the included reusable filter.
Is the stainless steel part the carafe, the body, or both?
The specs list stainless steel as the material with an uncoated finish. The carafe type isn't specified separately, so confirm on the product page whether the brewing vessel is also stainless.
