Two years ago, I wrote about the Krups Moka Brew, arguably the best home coffee maker.  My most serious coffee junkie friends love it, but the one I gave to my dad sits in the cupboard: it's just too complicated for him and my stepmom to bother with.  So for them, and the rest of you who can't really handle the complicated German engineering before the caffeine kicks in, here are the top eight machines from the slightly jittery product testers at Real Simple magazine.  Read their complete reviews in the September 2009 issue.
