Day to day we use a Cuisinart 12 cup. It's a work horse that has lasted over ten years and when set up properly every night gives us a consistently good cup of coffee ever morning. We were recently gifted a Nespresso machine. It's expensive as hell to run every day but there's no ignoring that it produces a wide variety of really good coffees. Maybe I'm wrong but the coffee choices lean towards Italian varieties. It's not like running to Peet's for a pound of Sumatra. The coffee is great though and when we have pods on hand we generally take that over the drip stuff. We have a french press that I really like. It produces a delicious and robust cup of coffee and setup isn't too much trouble. We use it for camping as well. Last, we have a stove top espresso maker. It's mostly for when I need espresso for a recipe (tiramisu). The all have their redeeming qualities and not one can be termed "best".
