Having a home coffee maker is one of nicest yet cheapest luxuries in life. Whenever you like, you can kick back and relax with a nice rich cup of fresh coffee and let the smell of roasted coffee beans waft through the air. But what are the best home coffee makers?

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

The number one coffee maker is the Black and Decker Spacemaker. It is a huge pot, twelve cup coffemaker, yet is extremely cheap in the $60 range.

The number 2 unit is the Keurig Special Edition B60 Coffee Maker. It's 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 3rd 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 4th place is a much cheaper unit, the Hamilton Beach Michael Graves Design 40304 coffee maker. Selling in the $40-50 range, it is a superb value for the price and brews quickly and with little leakage.

Number five is the Kuerig top-flight B40. Selling in the $100 range, this is another popular single cup maker. It has less knobs and whistles than the B70, but has all that you need for quality coffee in a rush.

Number 6 is the Saeco smell Espresso Machine. This unit costs about $300, and though it has some fancy features a large amount of people report being unhappy with it. It's tough to measure 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 sometimes sells in the $60 range. While its design is revolutionary, some customers have complained that it's not extremely durable and may not last very long.

Number eight 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 shoppers loving their unit, while others report frustraion with coffee leaking.

Number 9 is the Rancilio Silvia Espresso Machine. This is a costly machine with a standard price of around $750, but its quality reviews are exquisite. Folk who have lived in Italy and become accustomed to authentic top of the range espresso report this is the only coffee maker that may affect them. Potentially the single thing that keeps this unit from being higher in the list is its price .

Number ten 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 top quality coffee maker and an superb good value for the money, but with no special features to make it standout. And that is's fine. Easy and good is much better than fancy but defective.

These are the 10 best coffee makers, based on online sales. I am hoping you'll find a unit that suits your own private wants and lifestyle .
