drip coffee makers

Bonavita Connoisseur BV-1901TS

This machine quite possibly packs the biggest bang for your buck on this list.  Bonavita has a line of machines that make cafe quality coffee at an affordable price.  The design is simple and there are few parts to clean.  They have more expensive models with more features, but the brew quality you'll get from this machine rivals machines that cost much more.


Bunn BT Velocity Brew 10-Cup 

For sheer consistency and reliability it's hard to beat this Bunn machine.  Bunn is one of the most recognized names in drip brewers for both commercial and home use.  Restaurant and cafe quality coffee with one of the fastest brew times I've found.  (Around 3 minutes for a full pot.)  The thermal carafe keeps the coffee warm for up to 2 hours.
