4 Cup Coffee Maker
4 Cup Coffee Makers are an excellent choice if you drink alot of coffee, or if the brewer is going to be shared between a few (2-3) people. Basically, instead of producing an entire pot of coffee, 4 cup coffee makers only produce 4 cups, which takes much less time and is ideal if you don’t need the extra coffee brewed.
Many popular brands have at least one model of 4 cup coffee makers, with most brands having different models to choose from. Prices for these brewers vary from as low as $20 to as high as $60 for higher quality brewers.
However, buying a $60 coffee maker isn’t necessary, for most people, around $35 will buy a high quality 4 cup coffee maker. Here are some features to look for in your brewer:
Timer - This is great, as you can set it to have your coffee ready in the morning right when you wake up.
Shape and Housing - Simply put, don’t buy something you think is ugly if you can avoid it.
Warranty - Stuff happens, so it’s nice to know you have a warranty to back up your coffee maker.
There are many other things to look for in a 4 cup coffee maker (see our guide about Choosing a Coffee Maker), but we hope this article gives you a solid basis for making a good decision about your brewer.
