How to choose a coffee maker

Traditional Coffee Makers

A traditional coffee maker brews a classic cup of Joe. They come in a variety of sizes, making up to 12 cups at a time, and some of them are programmable, so you can prep your pot the night before and wake up to the aroma of freshly brewed coffee.
