There's Bunn and then there's all that other shite pretending to be a coffee maker.

Owned them all. Get a Bunn
This. The best one I've used that isn't commerical grade is about $100, but it has a hot water reservoir so when you add water to the reservoir it pretty much makes a pot instantly. Also brews at a much hotter temp for better coffee. If you just want normal coffee then this is what you should get.

Keurig
I have one, I use it but don't care for it personally. Doesn't brew coffee hot enough. Nice if you only want 1 cup though I suppose

Need moar info. You the only coffee drinker, or is there multiple people in your household that drink coffee.

If you're serious about drip coffee - a Bunn Commercial (I'm partial to the CW series) is the best answer and you'll never look back.
If you're more about fancy coffee or espresso drinks, you've got a lot more research to do.

I highly recommend the new Nespresso Vertu*Line. My wife picked up one a couple months ago. It makes a really, really good cup of coffee. The pods for the different coffees, espressos, etc. have a barcode on one side of the rim. You put the pod in, hit start, the pod spins and the barcode automatically tells the machine exactly how to brew the cup / how much water to add (for coffee vs espresso). The machine whips a perfect head of frothy crema into each cup.
If they have any retail stores near you that sell them and they provide samples, try it. If not, here's a link to what I'm talking about.

Please note, the newer Vertu*Line pods are different than the older, smaller Nespresso pods. We have the older one, too, which makes a good cup of coffee-- on par or better than any other machine coffees and coffee shop coffees I've had-- but I think the new ones are better. It's not even close, imho.
When my wife bought it at a local Nespresso store, they just had the one base model available, which didn't have any fancy fixtures to froth your milk or any other side attachments. I think they might have some expensive models now which might do that, but I'm not sure. So, if that's a requirement, you might be better off spending some time checking out the Ninja or something else. But if you just want straight up good coffee on demand (about 30 seconds), Vertu*Line is as good as I've had. The only other potential negative is the pods are a little more expensive: $1.10 each I think... looking at the site now, compared to $0.80 per pod for regular Nespresso. I have no idea what some of the other brands charge.

I was distracted mid-post and a few other people made some good points by the time I hit submit on my earlier post...
If it's just you or you and your wife, and you just want something fast & easy that tastes good and don't mind paying more per cup, I stand by my previous post. But if you have roommates (that will take advantage of you), if you appreciate the nuance and/or process of grinding/making your own coffee, or have to be more budget minded, other people have posted solid choices.

Just me and the wife. Occasionally we brew a full pot if we have a party or company over.

I have a nice Breville Keurig but I think my next purchase is a Nespresso Virtuoline that makes both their coffee & espresso. I think it comes with a frother too for Capps & lattes....it's on sale at Target right now.

Technivorm with a thermal carafe and a decent conical burr grinder and you are good to go for years.

For coffee keurig is perfect for me , I only drink 1 cup maybe two ....
Posted on 12/3/15 at 11:33 pm to nolanola
Do not get the keurig 2.0, I think 500 or 600 series. I forget which we have, but have had two warranty replacements within a year and the new kit comes with a maintenance kit now. Which leads me to believe they know it has an issue and they are not going to fix this model.

French press
Posted on 12/4/15 at 2:46 am to nolanola
This is what I have, $15 - and guess what, it brews coffee just as well as the $100 machines.
