Single Brew Coffee Machines This model is the best choice if you're looking for an all-in-one machine that can prepare tea or coffee according to your preference. It's easy to use, has four different brewing configurations and is compatible with ground or single-pack tea bags and coffee. It can be used in conjunction with reusable pods. This is a great solution for those who are concerned about the waste of plastic generated by disposable K-cups. 1. Keurig K-Select This Keurig is a great choice for those who want to enjoy coffee but don't have the space or funds to invest in a bigger coffee maker. It's the smallest Keurig available on the market, and it only takes up 13.6 inches from front to back, which means it can be hidden away in a tiny kitchen or office space. It can make one cup of coffee in minutes and comes with an water tank that can hold up to 52 ounces. It also comes with a “strong” option that boosts the strength of the coffee to suit your taste. This machine has one downside that it doesn't create crema, the caramel-colored foam layer that coffee drinkers believe enhances the flavor of their drinks. This isn't a problem to many people, however some may have a problem. It's easy to clean; simply unplug the machine and then remove the pod holder. It can then be sprayed with a cleaning solution and then wiped clean. The needles that are brewing can be cleaned and removed using a paper clip which is a useful feature to use when your machine is getting clogged. This machine can be costly since it only works with K-Cup pods. It is not compatible with third-party pods that erupted on the market after the Keurig 2.0 patent expired in 2012. If you're looking for a device that can make brews in a range of sizes or comes with a carafe, then you might need to consider an alternative model. The Keurig K-Select also has the most simple operation. It has two buttons one to power on the machine and the second to select the size of the cup. It's a smart brewer that shuts itself off after two hours of use to save energy and the reservoir of water has a window that shows the time it will need to be filled. 2. Cuisinart Grind & Brew This machine allows you to use both pre-ground beans and K-Cup pods. If you're a green-conscious consumer and are short on space, or you're a fan of both single-serve and filter coffee, this is the perfect choice for you. This machine can grind whole coffee beans into finely-ground ready-to-brew grounds, or brew the pre-ground ground coffee in a tray that is removable. You can also brew Keurig's off the shelf K-Cups and other well-known brands of single-use pods. This means you can have a quick cup of espresso or a whole pot of coffee without having to wash the carafe. The controls on the Grind & Brew are easy to operate. The front of the machine has all the information you need to know about the brewing capacity (in increments two), power on/off and the brew indicator and decalcification alarm as well as grinding settings. The machine can also brew 12 cups of carafe-sized coffee. It also has a handy feature that permits up to 24 hours of advance in brewing. The machine comes with a removable drip tray and capsule holder. It doesn't come with a cleaning brush, but you can easily wash the tray and holder by hand or throw them in the dishwasher. The machine comes with a three-year guarantee and is available directly from Cuisinart, as well as Williams Sonoma, Amazon, Crate and Barrel, as well as Target. The machine was packaged tightly and surrounded by molded paper for additional protection. The packaging is recyclable. The machine and its contents were in great condition. The box and its contents were supplied with a user's manual that was easy to read. The machine will inform you when decalcification is due. 3. Breville Precision Brewer The Breville Precision Brewer takes drip coffee to a whole new level. This machine features customizable settings to let the user make a perfect cup of coffee every time. There are six preset brewing modes including “gold,” “fast,” “strong,” “iced,” and “cold brew.” The brewer also has a dedicated single cup mode that accepts cone and flat filters. In addition to these different brewing options, the machine has six different basket shapes that can be used to highlight particular flavors in the made cup. The machine utilizes a thermocoil pump and a heating system that has a digital temperature control PID that ensures a constant water temperature during the fermentation process. This is a major benefit, as many premium drip coffee makers use heated plates to heat the water. This is not an ideal method for heating water, because it could result in burning your coffee and causing uneven brewing. The Breville has a water pump that produces a humming sound when it is brewing. This is a nice feature because it lets the user know that their coffee is finished in the process of brewing. The brewer is sleek minimalist design that looks good on any counter. The polished stainless steel and clear plastic construction gives it a modern elegant appearance. Breville's brewer measures 12 7 inches by 16 inches, and it will fit in most large to medium-sized kitchens. Breville comes with a quick-start guide as well as a comprehensive instruction manual for new users to get up to speed. The only downside to Breville is the sound of the water pump. This can be a nuisance for those who live in apartment buildings. 4. Aeropress The AeroPress is a small but clever device that can make a cup of coffee at a time. It's a piston-style brewer which uses air pressure to push water through the coffee grounds and into your mug, resulting in a distinct and clean taste. Aeropress coffee has been highly praised by a variety of coffee lovers for its well-balanced, well-rounded taste. It is a great choice for travelers and campers because it's light and compact. It's also durable. This manual brewer is quite easy to use. You add a scoop freshly ground Cupper's coffee to the inverted AeroPress Chamber, stir and then add hot water. You can then choose to leave it steep for some time or plunge immediately. When you're done drinking the coffee, it can be served straight-up or press into your mug to create an espresso-like drink. One of the most appealing aspects about the AeroPress is that it allows you to control the strength of your coffee, no matter if you're making weak French press or a strong single-cup pour over. The unique shape of the device accelerates the process by reducing the length of time that the coffee sits in the filter. The AeroPress is a relative newcomer to the world of brewing devices, but it's already breaking sales records, generating an energizing community and inspiring a whole generation of coffee lovers. AeroPress contests for brewing are being organized on a global scale! AeroPress has recently introduced the AeroPress Go which is a portable device that incorporates the AeroPress and a travel mug. The model comes with a travel mug that is ideal for hikers, tourists, and campers. The price tag is similar to the price of the original however, it's considerably smaller in size, yet comes with all the same features. 5. Keurig K-Duo Plus The K-Duo Plus is a dual-function coffee maker which can brew single-serve cups or carafes. It can brew K-Cup pods or ground coffee and has various sizes of brew, including 6, 8, 10 and 12 ounces per cup, and a 6-, 8-, 10 or 12-cup carafe. It also comes with a strong brew option, programmable auto-brew for the carafe, and a thermos carafe to keep your beverage warm up to two hours. This coffee maker is ideal for families that want to be able brew a single cup or a full carafe. The display is easy to read and the buttons are simple. Plus, it includes a gold-tone reusable filter, so you don't need to buy paper filters. We also like that this model doesn't lose water temperature quickly when making back-to-back pots which is a problem with some of the other models we've tested. If single cup coffee maker with pods or are just having an unplanned morning it's the Keurig K-Duo Plus can make single-serves and a carafe to suit any occasion. It can be used to make your favorite ground coffee as well as hundreds of K Cup pods of tea, cocoa, and coffee.
