Despite all of the features that you may see, automatic-drip coffee makers are relatively simple devices, all of which function in a similar manner and brew coffee. Water is first added to a reservoir, where it is heated and then dispersed over a pre-filled basket / filter of grounds. As the heated water travels through the grounds, it extracts flavor before it drips into your mug, coffee pot or carafe.

A somewhat new option with automatic drip coffee makers is the “coffee-on-demand” style machines. They brew coffee directly into an internal holding tank where the coffee is kept hot and ready for dispensing one cup at a time.

More than any other style, automatic-drip coffee makers offer many features:

• water reservoir
• filter holder
• screen filters
• built-in warming plate
• carafe
• carafe stand
• dripless carafes
• indicator lights
• cord storage
• automatic shutoff
• swing-out or lift-out filter baskets
• brew-pause feature
• digital control panels
• clocks with timers
• automatic shut-off
• water filtration systems
• flavor systems
• built-in grinding

The most popular feature on automatic-drip coffee makers is a digital clock/timer to allow you to preset a brew time – like in the morning. You can add water and ground coffee the night before and wake up to a freshly brewed pot of coffee. What a nice way to wake up!

Full-size automatic drip coffee makers can brew up to 14 cups but other, smaller machines make from a single up to four cups at a time. They work best when set to brew a full pot of coffee. A full pot is 8-14 cups of coffee and takes from 5-12 minutes for a complete brewing cycle.

Some popular brands of automatic drip coffee makers are:

• DeLonghi Drip Coffee Makers
• Saeco Coffee Makers
• Mr. Coffee Coffee Makers
• Hamilton Beach Coffee Makers
• Krups Drip Coffee Makers
• Bunn Coffee Makers
• Sunbeam Drip Coffee Makers

Online stores as well as local department stores are good places to look for the best automatic drip coffee maker.

Love my coffee!

“I purchased this drip coffee maker in January of this year and love it. At fist I wondered how I’d keep up with the cost of K-cups. But, I’ve just ordered through Amazon’s K-cup subscription and this will work well for me, financially. Look into this, folks. What a wonderful way to get your coffee at a better price and with 0 shipping charge! Now I’m enjoying great coffee at a very affordable price.”

Get it, you won’t regret it

“My wife actually is the big coffee drinker in the house, and she loves this drip coffee maker. She didn’t want to get it at first, because it’s non-traditional. But it was recommended by someone who is very into gourmet foods and none of the traditional drip coffee makers had good reviews, so we went with this one. She absolutely loves it, and we have since told many other people about these machines. Get it, and you won’t regret it.”
