While most people love to have their morning coffee, the way people take their coffee is about as individualized as fingerprints. Finding the perfect coffee maker that prepares your brew just the way you like it can be overwhelming, but luckily there are so many models on the market that you won’t have a hard time finding the perfect machine.

Whether you call it java or joe, whether you take it decaf or daringly strong, you should know some basics about coffeemakers before purchasing one:

• Drip coffee maker – the most popular kind of coffee machine, this drips hot water over ground coffee. These can make anywhere from 1-20 cups in a pot and many come with an automatic timer.
• Vacuum coffee maker – while you may not see these much anymore except in reruns of I Love Lucy, siphon brewers still make a traditional, classically good cup of coffee. Vaporized water is funneled up through a tube and, after it condenses again, is pulled back through the tube and through the ground coffee.
• French press – coarsely ground coffee is added to hot water, and then a plunger is slowly pressed to force the grounds to the bottom while the brewed coffee stays at the top of the pot.
• One-cup machines – these machines conveniently brew one cup of coffee at a time using a single-serving of coffee, tea, cider, or hot chocolate. This is a great idea if you have a family in which each person prefers a different type hot beverage in the morning.
