Not everyone wants or needs to be able to whip up an espresso or a cappuccino right at home. A basic drip/filter coffee maker is the foundation for home coffee brewing. If you drink a lot of coffee or have a large number of people using one machine, you'll need one that can produce several cups at a time. These coffee makers will do just that.

1. Krups Crystal Arome Plus (10 cup)

Many interesting features on this Krups machine. A seal on the carafe will hold in all the aroma while the coffee is sitting in the pot. You can also remove the pot while it's still brewing, when you just can't wait. With sleek touchpad controls, a 24-hour timer and 'deep brew technology', this is a fine machine for anyone's kitchen.

This is a sweet little machine, perfect for those of us with small kitchens and small budgets. No bells or whistles, just the basics. It comes in either black or white, including a Brita filter for cleaner water.

The DeLonghi coffee maker has a permanent and washable filter, which makes it more environmentally sound. This machine also offers the handy 'stop and serve' feature so you can pour a cup while it's still brewing. Digital timer and LCD panel offer easy-to-use controls.

4. Black and Decker Smartbrew (12 cup)

It's got a dripless carafe and an ergonomic handle, which can be helpful on those cold, half-asleep mornings. Pretty simple machine, with not many features. 2 water level indicators and an easy-access 1 piece cover.

5. Mr. Coffee Drip Coffee Maker (12 cup)

It will make up to 12 cups, but you can change the settings if you only want a cup or two. All the standard features too, like a timer, auto shut off and stop and serve.

For a good tasting cup, this coffee maker has a built-in water filter. We all know that good water makes good coffee! This model has the popular "pause n' serve" feature so you don't have to wait for the brew cycle to finish.
