Drip coffee makers may be either manual or automatic:

Some people prefer these, as they allow you to personally regulate the rate and temperature at which your coffee is brewed.
-
Automatic drip coffee machines feature the most common way coffee is brewed today. They function along the same principle as manual drip makers, except that the machine does most of the work. Most of the extra features include alarm clocks, automatic start and stop switches, adjustable temperature controls, choices of brew cycles, built-in coffee grinders, and so on. The biggest factors to consider while choosing an automatic drip machine, is the personal needs and how much youre willing to spend.
