Cuisinart 14-Cup PerfecTemp Programmable Coffee Maker (DCC-3200)

The Cuisinart DCC-3200 is the classic big-pot value pick: 14 cups, PerfecTemp hot-plate control, brew-strength selector, a 1–4 cup setting for smaller batches and brew-pause so you can sneak a cup mid-cycle. It routinely sells between $70 and $100, which makes it the best budget machine for households that brew for a crowd.
