COFFEE MAKERS BEST BUYS
You don't have to pay big bucks to brew a great cup of coffee.
Some of the best coffee is brewed in the least expensive coffee makers. Most people prefer the convenience of the basic automatic
drip coffee maker. Here are three of the most highly rated by Consumer Reports. We've tried them all and completely agree.
Choose by the features that are most important to you, from the basic, no-frills Braun KF550 to the
feature-filled Mr. Coffee FTX21. They all make a great cup of coffee.
