    I love my Hamilton Beach, it was inexpensive and takes up very little counter space and I am still able to use coffee grounds.

    I second this one.

    I like this Hamilton Beach. Perfect size for 1 (big) cup of coffee. Fresh ground beans each morning is also great and there is very little cleanup.

    I have a Keurig Elite. I like it because it has a large reservoir and you can pick between sizes. I like the Keurig brand because there are so many types of K-cups out there.

    I don't drink coffee, but this what I got my husband for Christmas. We have very little counter space, and we didn't want to deal with the little cups and trying to store them. He loves this thing! You can make mug size and travel mug size. He also loves using his Dunkin Donuts coffee grounds. Very inexpensive, but very nice!

    I love the aeropress too! You make it as strong as you like with whatever coffee you like. You can also make more than one cup with it. It's totally dishwasher safe and it's portable. I take mine on vacation. Oh, and you can get a year's worth of filters on amazon for $3-$4. I've had mine for years, but I think it's probably in the $20-$30 range.

    We use the Bosch Tassimo. Reads a UPC code on the disc to brew perfectly each time. Brews cappuccino, latte, hot chocolate using cream, tea. I liked the kinds of drinks it offers more than the Keurig.

    I have the Keurig Special Edition. Does everything I want it to do... brew a travel mug of coffee most days per timer.

    I second (third? fourth?) the french press. Makes the best coffee, and it's environmentally friendly. Double-win.

    Aeropress.
    It makes espresso-grade coffee (1 or 2 oz), and I always mix that with hot water and some cream for my coffee.
    Really fantastic - single serve, lower in acidity (brewed coffee just stews and stews), and very portable. No AC plug in, all manual. Just boil some water!
    Find it on Amazon. I love it :)

    I got a Keurig Platinum for Christmas. I love it! It even does hot chocolate for my daughter. :)

    My preferred method when I have time is a stove top espresso maker. Brews an amazing full bodied cup, and I add hot milk that I hand-froth in my Bodium frother.

    I also have a Keurig Platnium from Costco, and I use the Cafe Verona Starbucks pods. Makes a good cup of coffee, brews at a nice, hot temperature and I like that you can select the size of cup of coffee you want. Cost isn't bad, as I get my coffee at Costco - $32 for 54 k-cups.

    I have a Tassimo which is great for coffees, teas and hot chocolate. Have an Nespresso at work which is great, but limited as only does coffee.
