The Vintage-Style Coffee Maker Walmart Customers Love

Many of the kitchen appliances that we use today have significantly evolved over the last 50 years, and some have even fallen out of favor for everyday use. When it comes to making coffee, coffee mills and percolators may be among the retro appliances that time forgot. However, the aesthetics of vintage appliances, especially the vibrant colors, invoke feelings of nostalgia and warmth, and some people just can't get enough. That's what Nostalgia Products is all about, and its Classic Retro Coffee Maker is one that Walmart customers love.

Since 2001, Nostalgia Products has aimed to preserve the beloved designs of the 1900s when making modern appliances. Its classic retro coffee maker is a single-button brewer that makes up to ten 5-ounce cups of joe (50 ounces total) at a time for $59.99. Along with an anti-drip pause so that you can pour a cup mid-brew, this machine has a two-hour warmer with a convenient dial-style countdown timer on the front and auto-shutoff. You can even put the carafe and reusable filter in the dishwasher.

In general, Walmart customers love how fast this vintage-style coffee maker brews, how rich the results taste, and the variety of vibrant colors available — including aqua, pink, orange, and red. One reviewer said, "Such a beautiful coffee maker at an amazing price. Works wonderfully and arrived quickly. Friends thought it was expensive like a Smeg, but it's a fraction! 10/10." Another exclaimed, "Makes great coffee, plus dresses up the kitchen!" In fact, Walmart customers love this model even more than Nostalgia's Retro 12-cup Programmable Coffee Maker, the biggest complaint for which seems to be an unjustified higher price tag.

If you prefer to do your appliance shopping at retailers other than Walmart, you'll be happy to learn that the Nostalgia classic retro coffee maker is available at a slew of other stores, including Amazon, Best Buy, Home Depot, and Target. The coffee maker isn't the only Nostalgia kitchen appliance you can expect at various retailers, either.

The first product Nostalgia launched in 2001 was a vintage hot air popcorn maker, but the brand has since expanded that line to theater-style machines. For example, this Nostalgia Popcorn Maker Cart is available at Walmart and is also one of the summer kitchen appliances customers love on Amazon. Among the myriad of other products — cotton candy makers, ice cream and snow cone machines, chocolate fondue machines, microwaves, and waffle makers — the Nostalgia Retro 2-Slice Toaster is a highly rated choice at Walmart, and one of the Amazon finds for a retro diner-style kitchen.

On top of that, Nostalgia Products has made licensing agreements with well-known brands. It has had a partnership with Coca-Cola since at least 2013, when it launched an automatic ice cube maker under the soda-maker's name. That partnership line has expanded to include a Coca-Cola-licensed frozen beverage station, milkshake maker, hot dog steamer and toaster, and popcorn machines. Additionally, the company has had a license agreement with Igloo Products since 2018, which has resulted in various mini fridges and ice machines, and with Kraft Heinz since 2022, which has delivered a Kool-Aid gummy candy maker, Jet-Puffed electric s'mores maker, and Oscar Mayer hot dog stations.
