Read the full guide

These automatic drip machines range from budget models to premium options and differ mainly in capacity, carafe material, programmable timer, single-cup brewing, pod compatibility and brew-strength control. Glass carafes appear on most units while one uses a thermal carafe. Some include timers and strength settings. Choose a 12- or 14-cup model for larger households or an 8- or 9-cup model when space or smaller batches matter. Models that brew pods or single cups add flexibility for mixed households.
