The Gourmia GCM3510 is a 5-cup, 700-watt drip coffee maker priced at $19.99, one of the cheaper options in its category. It has 467 ratings at 3.9 stars, which is adequate but sits just below the threshold that typically signals strong buyer satisfaction.
Budget-first buyers who need a basic drip machine for occasional personal use and are not concerned with programmability, thermal retention, or filter convenience.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other coffee makers, kettles and brewers we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Gourmia GCM3510 undercuts most drip machines at $19.99, and it shows the expected tradeoffs for that price. It brews 5 cups, runs at 700 watts on standard 120V power, and uses a glass and plastic build. What stands out as a negative is that no filter is listed as included, the spec says 'Not Included,' which means you need to supply your own paper or reusable filter before you can use it.
At 9 x 6 x 10 inches, it has the same compact footprint as the GCM3518. Fully automatic operation means there are no manual steps during the brew cycle beyond adding water and coffee. It is not smart-home compatible, and there are no programmable features mentioned in the spec data.
The 3.9-star average across 467 reviews is honest, it is not a poor rating, but it trails the slightly more expensive GCM3518's 4.0 across a larger pool. With zero reported purchases last month, sales momentum is currently flat. If the filter omission matters to you (and the extra $5 is not a concern), the GCM3518 is the cleaner pick.
Pros
Under $20 is among the lowest price points for a functional drip machine
Compact 9 x 6 x 10 inch footprint suits small kitchens or dorm use
700W fully automatic operation, no manual steps during brew
467 ratings provides a reasonable sample of buyer experience
Cons
Filter is not included, you need to source your own before first use
3.9-star average is below 4.0, suggesting more mixed experiences than comparable models
No programmable timer or scheduling
Glass carafe does not retain heat once brewing is complete
Performance notes
Runs at 700 watts on 120V. 5-cup capacity. Filter is listed as 'Not Included.' Glass and plastic construction at 9 x 6 x 10 inches. Not smart-home compatible. Input type is not specified in available spec data.
What buyers say
467 reviews at 3.9 stars is a moderate signal, not enough complaints to flag reliability issues, but not enough enthusiasm to mark it as a standout. The lack of a included filter is likely a friction point for buyers who did not expect to need one separately.
No. The filter is listed as not included, so you will need to purchase a compatible paper or reusable filter separately before use.
What is the difference between the GCM3510 and GCM3518?
Both are 5-cup, 700W drip machines with the same dimensions. The GCM3518 costs $5 more and includes a reusable filter, and it has a higher average rating across more reviews.
