If you’re married, did you register for or receive a coffee maker as a wedding gift? If not, have you ever bought a coffee maker as a wedding gift for a friend? If the answer is yes, you’re not alone. Coffee makers are one of the most popular bridal registry choices for new couples. There are over 2 million weddings each year in the US, and this must-have appliance usually finds its way into the new couple’s home, even for couples that don’t regularly drink coffee!

So buying a coffee maker is pretty much a no-brainer gift idea, but with all the advances in technology, design, and function, choosing the right one can be hard. Whether you’re buying a coffee maker for yourself or as a gift, there is no shortage of choices, not to mention cafe quality coffee machines for the coffee addicts out there.

Here are a few tips to help you make an informed decision:

1). Thermal Carafe: Consider a vacuum thermal carafe, which will keep your coffee hot for hours without the cooked taste that results from a glass pot kept on a warming plate.

2). Shorter Brewing Cycles: Look for 10-cup machines that have a special 3- to 4-cup brewing cycle. Without this feature, you may find that smaller pots of coffee do not meet your taste or temperature standards.

3). Space Savers: If you have a small kitchen, look for a specialty coffee maker that is a combination of two or more appliances. Many manufacturers make professional-style burr grinder and coffee makers in one.

4). Think Espresso: A high-quality espresso machine can make delicious gourmet-quality, pressure-brewed coffee as well as a variety of your favorite espresso-based drinks.

5). Form AND Function: Since the coffee maker is showcased on the counter and the carafe is an important serving piece in your dining room, look for coffee makers that offer stylish designs with high-quality materials such as stainless steel.

6). Back to the Basics: Why not get an authentic French press coffee maker? They’re stylish, easy to use, and save space.
