I just have a basic 4 cup coffee maker right now, but it does the job! I was debating if I should ask for a new one for Christmas or not. What kind of coffee maker do you have at home and why do you love it?

We have a 12 cup that you can set on a timer to make coffee with a couple different options like brew strength, etc. We also have a keurig! I love it!

Keurig. I love it because DH doesn't drink coffee and I never want more than 2 cups on the weekend so there is no point in brewing a full pot and also clean it.

A mini Keurig. We used to have the regular Keurig but it took up to much counter space, so we got the mini. It's perfect for us because we drink different types of coffee - me regular, him half-caff and flavored - so making only one cup at a time is essential.

I have a Hamilton Beach dual machine, it makes a carafe or a travel mug sized coffee. We also have a nespresso with an aeroccino.

We have a Keurig that we use during the week, and then a regular 12 cup, cheap Mr. Coffee coffee maker that we use on the weekends

Mine is same as yours...little 4 cups brewer. But its about time for a new one for a few reasons. We're thinking about getting a keurig. Not sure which one. Waiting for a good deal on one.

we have this one from cuisinart. it has its own reusable k-cup so you can put your own in & not waste all those little cups (plus it's cheaper!) if you choose and it has a built in water filter, both of those were add ons for the real keurigs when we registered. i use it for hot water to make oatmeal & i use it for hot chocolate since i don't drink coffee. i make DH coffee with it each morning and he seems to like it.

@Ash: Same! I hardly ever make coffee in mine. On the weekdays at work I buy my coffee from my coffee cart guy outside, and on the weekends I usually buy from McDonalds. Best coffee ever, and best value ever!

Nespresso Latissima. I make lattes with it almost every day. I typically drink espresso or lungos, not really big cups of coffee.

Recently bought a simple French press and grinder. It's so much easier to make a cup of coffee, and it tastes so yummy!

I have this one that I use with a kettle. I have a yellow one though.

We have a Keurig and a french press. We typically only use the french press on weekends when we have more time for breakfast.

@looch: this just went on my wish list. My Keurig recently broke.

I have a basic little Farberware. My husband doesn't drink much coffee so its perfect for me.

Another french press user here. I usually drink tea during the week. French press on the weekend, can't beat the taste!

Hamilton Beach 12-cup machine. DH and I even need to make a second pot on the weekends!
It the kind where you put your cup up to the machine and push a button that dispenses the coffee for you, so we don't have to deal with a drippy pitcher

We have a Keurig and a percolator. We also have a large drip maker but I'm not a fan, so we use it when we have people over since it makes more cups. I'm coveting a Nespresso.

So funny b/c I've been talking about this today already
We jsut got rid of our big coffee maker b/c it was giving us problems. We now have a Nespresso U-Pure. It's ok. If I was in the US I'd prob. get a Keurig b/c I love all the fun flavors. Although Nespresso does have some fun ones, like Vanilla and Caramel. (And more around the Holidays from what I hear.) It sure is convenient though!

We have this one from Cuisinart
It's a 12 cup coffee maker with a hot water system next to it. I love having boiling hot water ready at the push of a button

We have just a regular 12 cup Hamilton Beach coffee maker....like the most basic model.
It gets the job done!

I have the Hamilton Beach Black 2-Way Brewer. I don't think I've ever used the pot - just the single serve side!

I have three: a cheap 4-cup drip machine, an Aeropress, and a Bialetti moka pot. I use the drip one for weekday mornings when I just want to flip a switch. The Aeropress and moka pot make superior coffee but take longer so I alternate between them on weekends, depending on what type of coffee I'm craving. The Aeropress makes coffee that tastes similar to drip but better, while the moka pot makes a "thicker" coffee that is almost like espresso. I used to have a French press but I hated cleaning it and didn't actually love the coffee it made, so when the glass beaker broke I didn't bother replacing it.
Of the three, the moka pot is my favorite, but I really like having an assortment to choose from.

We don't use a regular coffee maker (we don't drink it every day). We have a Nespresso Romeo machine and make double-shots as our coffee.

We have a 12c Black and Decker. Nothing fancy, just an ordinary drip machine, but it works well for us.

@StbHisMrs: I want this!! I'm going to go look for it on Amazon now. We have a hot water dispenser (would die without it) and this is coffee machine is perfect. It has both!!!

GEVALIA!!! I love it because it is wry durable, programmable and their customer service is amazing.
We also have the Keurig, which I use for myself when no one else wants coffee.

We have a Keurig but don't use it very much.
@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: My parents have a Keurig and have had it for years. It started acting funny and my mom had heard that Bed Bath & Beyond would exchange it for a Cuisanart version. She hadn't bought it there, had no receipt, but took it to BBB and they took it back and only charged her a small difference to get the Cuisanart and she loves it much more. Just a thought if you are near a Bed, Bath & Beyond. The guy at the store said the Cuisanarts are much better quality.

We have a Zojirushi filter coffee machine. It's very good and, most importantly, the company's logo is an elephant. So, you know, there's that.

Keurig. I don't typically drink more than one cup a day, and I'm the only coffee drinker in the house. We did have a Cuisinart thought, but it blew up
