Single Cup Coffee Brewers
No mess, no clean up. Simply a great morning cup every Single time. These coffee makers are the ultimate in convenience when it comes to coffee. Often times you will make your morning cup and have to fumble around in the morning cleaning up messy grounds, part and accessories that all help serve your single shot. However, with a single cup brewer, all of the side work is cut out of the picture so the only thing you have to worry about is what you will do with the extra you saved from not having to clean.
Just like every avenue in the coffee industry, single cup coffee makers have a variety of style and functions that are designed for different types of barista’s. The first type of single serve is the K-Cup. The K-Cup
K Cup Makers: These types of coffee makers are perfect for those that simply want a single cup of coffee with no questions asked. The makers do not require the one time use filter, the cleaning of the contained and coffee pot or the task of measuring for the following cup. These are also beneficial because you don’t have to worry about rising out those oils from the previous brew. The great design is topped off with a simple 3 step process to get your coffee make:
1: You fill your coffee maker reservoir with water (recommended cold)
2: Select the K-Cup you are craving and insert into the chamber
3: Place your favorite cup under the spout. Start machines and enjoy.
Coffee Pod Brewers: This is the second type of single cup coffee brewer that was specifically designed for that lone wolf in the morning. Each pod is comprised of a pre-measured amount for exactly one cup of coffee. Unlike other machines that cause you to fumble around and clean repeatedly, these machines simply require you insert the pod and throw away. These have even become extremely popular in homes where different members prefer different types of coffee but don’t want to deal with the fuss.
Tassimo Coffee Makers: This is probably one of the least well known types of single cup coffee makers. These coffee makers, however, only work wit T-Disks. This is a similar concept of the pod brewer defined above but unlike those makers that offer well over 300 different types of coffee beans, you will only find around 50 with these. So you are limiting your selection, but you are also closing in on a great addition to your kitchen. These machines are extremely well built and tested thoroughly.
