Some coffeemakers claim "enhanced," "innovative," even "ingenious" systems that ensure superior flavor. But our experience testing automatic drip coffeemakers suggests that in some respects those claims are--well, full of beans.

All the models we've tested in the past several years have been equally capable of brewing good coffee, and those tested for this report are no exception.
