Coffee is the fuel of the world. We’ve identified several top models based on taste, construction, features, ease-of-use, and value. While these coffee makers may not satisfy connoisseurs, most coffee drinkers will find one that’s suited for their budget and preferences.

Stylish stainless steel coffee maker that brews great tasting coffee. Makes up to 12 cups at a time, making it a great choice at home or in a small office. This coffee maker is quick and simple to operate - the digital clock/timer can be set to automatically brew your coffee at a selected time so that it’s ready to go when you wake up in the morning, and the one to four cup setting is perfect for brewing a small amount of coffee. The Gold Tone filter eliminates the need for paper filters. Tip: If you only need to brew one cup of coffee at a time, consider the superb Keurig B60.

Perfect for busy professionals that only need to brew one cup at a time, this single serve coffee maker brews great tasting coffee in seconds. Uses pre-measured portions called K-cups that eliminate the hassle of grinding beans, measuring, or dealing with messy paper filters. Simply put the K-cup in place, lower the handle, and press Start and the coffee is ready within seconds. Once you’re done, just dispose of the K-cup – there’s no mess to deal with. The K-cups are available from many different manufacturers and come in many different variations of tea, coffee, and cocoa. The Keurig B60 provides control over the temperature of your coffee and tea, and you can set it to automatically turn on/off at a specific time. Tip: The key difference between the B60 and B70 is that the B70 is quieter and can brew a larger cup of coffee. However, the B60 is more affordable and the perfect choice for most. If you need to brew multiple cups of coffee at once, consider the Cuisinart Brew Central.

All the standards you've come to expect in a brewer, such as brew pause and dripless spout, plus more. It's 24-hour programmable, durable and has a good warranty offering excellent value for the price.

Nearly identical to the excellent Keurig B60, but this model can brew a larger cup of coffee (1.25oz. versus 9.25oz.), has a larger water container (can be filled less often), and is quieter.

This programmable coffee maker is affordable, easy to use, and brews up to 12 cups of coffee at a time. Programming is a breeze with the intuitive touch pad, and you can set it to automatically brew coffee in the morning so it’s ready when you wake up. The “Perfect Pour Carafe” has a wider spout that prevents leaks and spills. Highly recommended for buyers shopping for an affordable, easy to use coffee maker.
