For those individuals who just love a warm drink in the morning, there is no substitute for a great cup of coffee. When shopping for your own coffee maker, you will notice there are countless brands and styles to choose from as well as all their features.  Your first tip is to know how many people will be drinking coffee. If it is just you, a small maker is fine, if you entertain a lot, you want a 10 to 12 cup coffee maker. 

If you want to have your coffee ready when you get up, you will want one with a built in timer. If you are a real fanatic, you might want to go with a French press so you can get as much flavor from the beans as possible.  Some brands are better than others.  Keurig is very popular and so is Mr. Coffee, Bunn and Black & Decker. 

If you choose a single cup coffee maker, it will save you counter space and allow each person in the home to make their own strength of coffee. These are low cost and low maintenance. As you choose your coffee maker you will also be thinking of coffee beans.
