“For many of us, the daily grind can’t begin until we’ve had that first cup of piping hot coffee – so the right brewer is of utmost importance,” says Consumer Reports. “The most basic coffee makers make at least a decent cup. Still, you might want more features than a simple on/off switch. A little more money buys you conveniences such as programmability, a thermal carafe to keep coffee hot longer, and settings that let you adjust brew strength.”
Here is the Consumer Reports’ selection of recommended coffee makers. The maximum overall score is 100, and “Best Buy” models offer more value.

Drip coffee makers with carafe
Self-serve drip coffee makers
Grind-and-brew coffee makers
Single-serve coffee makers
