COFFEE MAKERS

CNET.COM (TNS) If you love to begin your day with a cup of coffee, being able to brew a cup at home might be fun.

We think there’s something special about buying coffee beans and brewing at home instead of going to a local Starbucks, Caribou or Dunkin’ every day. Not to forget, brewing coffee at home can be a lot more cost-effective. And who knows, perhaps you might brew the best-tasting coffee ever.

So, whether you like your coffee brewed with a French press, using a drip machine, pour-over or even over ice, CNET has compiled a list of coffee machines that will help you make a perfect cup right from your kitchen – manually or automatically, on a budget or without _nancial constraints, and three of them are included here.
