The Single Cup Coffee Maker – the benefits of having one
Most coffee makers are designed to produce up to four cups of coffee, the coffee is better than instant but can go stale if left in the pot. The solution then is purchasing a single cup coffee maker where you get all the benefits of fresh ground coffee without the waste of a larger machine.
There are many types of coffee maker you can buy, but knowing the best for you is not always easy. Here you will find what different types you can get so you can make an informed decision as to which is best for you.
The cheapest form is the type where you have a cone over your cup with a filter. You then pour hot water into the cone and the coffee drips into your cup. It works but if quality coffee is your choice then this just won’t make the grade, good for a quick cup of coffee if you are traveling and this is easy to take with you on holiday.
The most popular home based single cup coffee maker are those that sit on your counter and boil the water for you. The coffee comes in a pod or even filter bags and is placed in the machine and water brews as in a commercial machine. You make a single cup so no waste or coffee going stale in a pot.
With these types of coffee maker, you can choose a variety of coffee flavors so if you have friends over each can choose a different blend. Making more than a few cups may mean that the first person has finished drinking before the last has been given their cup of coffee.
However there are some that can cope with making coffee quick enough to get hot cups out to up to 10-15 people at a time, or you could buy a semi commercial machine and spends thousands of dollars.

But before you head out to buy one make sure you know exactly what you are looking for. Coffee pods are no fuss and easy to use, without the mess. Does the machine have a timer so you can wake up with coffee ready to go in the morning. How quickly does the machine brew your coffee and how good is the quality?
