The verdict

Cuisinart's PerfecTemp is the default American drip machine: 14 cups, a 24-hour programmable timer, brew-strength control, a 1-4 cup setting for small batches, adjustable keep-warm temperature and a reusable gold-tone filter. It is not SCA-certified and it will not out-brew a Moccamaster, but it is the machine most households actually buy, and it fills the gap under every other pick on this page.
