According to surveys of coffee lovers and according to the number of coffee makers purchased online, there are 10 top coffee makers.

The number 1 coffee maker is the Black and Decker Spacemaker. It is a large pot, 12 cup coffemaker, yet is very affordable in the $60 range.

The number 2 unit is the Keurig Special Edition B60 Coffee Maker. It is the most popular of the single serving coffee makers and is widely reported to be easy to use. It sells in the $120 range.

In third place is another Kuerig unit, the B70 coffee maker. It is another single cup filler, but is considered the top-of-the-line unit and better than the B60. It sells in the $150 range.

In fourth place is a much cheaper unit, the Hamilton Beach Michael Graves Design 40304 coffee maker. Selling in the $40-50 range, it is a great value for the price and brews quickly and with little leakage.

Number 5 is the Kuerig Elite B40. Selling in the $100 range, this is another popular single cup maker. It has less bells and whistles than the B70, but has all you need for quality coffee in a hurry.

Number 6 is the Saeco Aroma Espresso Machine. This unit costs around $300, and though it has some fancy features a lot of people report being disappointed with it. It’s hard to live up to the expectations set by that kind of price.

Number 7 is the Cuisinart PRC-12. This is a 12 cup coffee maker which generally sells in the $60 range. While its design is revolutionary, some customers have complained that it is not very durable and may not last very long.

Number 8 is the Hamilton Beach BrewStation 47214. A 12 cup coffee maker that dispenses coffee cup by cup rather than into a pot, it sells in the $75 range. Quality reports seem mixed, with some customers loving their unit, while others report frustraion with coffee leakage.

Number 9 is the Rancilio Silvia Espresso Machine. This is an expensive machine with an average price of around $750, but its quality reviews are impeccable. People who have lived in Italy and become accustomed to authentic high quality espresso report that this is the only coffee maker that can impress them. Probably the only thing that keeps this unit from being higher in the list is its price.

Number 10 is the Cuisinart DGB-600. It is a 10 cup coffee maker with a thermal pot. It sells for between $110 and $200, and by most reports is a good quality coffee maker and a good value for the money, but with no special features to make it standout. And that’s just fine. Simple and good is much better than fancy but flawed.

These are the 10 best coffee makers, based on online sales. I hope you can find a unit that suits your own personal needs and lifestyle.
