"I wouldn't want to live in a world without coffee!" is definitely one of the most relatable things Ree Drummond has ever said. If you're a fellow coffee lover, you know exactly how vital that freshly brewed hot cup of joe can be to your day. And as important as beans are to the process, what makes or breaks a good cup is often the coffee machine. There are plenty of different ways to get a quick caffeine fix at home these days, from single-serve pod machines to pour-over coffee makers. But if you prefer a hot pot of quality java, purchasing a drip coffee maker is definitely the way to go.
We've rounded up the best drip coffee makers on the market in 2022, and they all have one thing in common: They offer an easy and inexpensive way to make delicious coffee from the comfort of your kitchen. Of course, there are plenty of ways to personalize your experience from there. It can be a simple as scooping your favorite ground coffee into a basket and pressing a button, purchasing one of the best coffee grinders for the freshest beans, or finding coffee makers with grinders attached and letting the machine do the work for you.
There are even more bells and whistles to consider: Do you like both hot and iced coffee? There are models that can do both. Do you enjoy a full pot all the time or do you also want the flexibility of a one-cup option? We found some of those, too. No matter which coffee maker you decide to buy, it will be the perfect start to your coffee bar set up, and of course, a perfect start to your mornings as well. Once you've found your perfect drip coffee maker, you can use coffee hacks or Ree's favorite syrups to make it fancy, or just sip on a simple cup. Bottoms up!

Another popular model with the reviewers (23,000+ 5-star ratings!), this 12-cup Black+Decker is also programmable and a fraction of the cost. We also love the "sneak-a-cup" feature that allows you to neatly pour a cup while the pot is still brewing.

What doesn't this Ninja do? Hot and cold, single cup and full pot, and all the fancy options like lattes―this system is a one-stop-shop for all your caffeinated requests. It even has a built-in fold-away frother so you can make your cappuccinos and still save space.
Maybe you want a couple cups of coffee but not a whole pot, or maybe you just don't have tons of counter space. A small capacity model like this five-cup Mr. Coffee is your answer. Plus, this no-frills option is as easy as can be to operate. There's only one button to push!
