Nothing says "Good morning!" quite like a macchiato mastered by your favorite barista. And on days when you can't make it to your corner coffeeshop, that barista may be you! Now that you've grown accustomed to Third Wave coffeehouses, where the locally roasted beans are sourced from socially responsible farmers and drinks like cortados, flat whites, and pour-overs take pride of place, why should you have to settle for a ho-hum cup of Joe when at home? 

But before you invest in a fancy contraption, think about your coffee preferences. Since coffee is personal, you either need a machine that's specifically made for the type of coffee you crave or the situation at hand (say, an efficient device you can take with you on a trip). If you like to switch things up, a multitasker that can foam and steam milk and do all kinds of java tricks might come in handy. And if your coffee preferences really vary, you might be better off investing in one major machine, plus a sidekick or two, like a French press, for those days when you want to try something different. 

With such a staggering number of coffee makers on the market, it can be challenging to select the right one, so we boiled it down to some of our favorite picks for every type of caffeine drinker. From a single-serve coffee maker that makes a colorful statement on your kitchen counter and a nitro cold brew maker with a tapped dispenser to a spare-no-expense espresso and coffeemaker with a touchscreen menu, this list has got you covered!
