Single cup coffee makers – coffee at the touch of a button

Single cup coffee makers are a must for the guy who wants a quick cup of fresh coffee at the touch of a button. The single cup coffee maker market today offers convenient, easy to clean and very reasonable priced solutions.

There are several different types of these single cup coffee makers including the ‘pod’ type of machines. These use a specific type of small round pod filled with your favorite flavour or strength of coffee, these are put into the machine with your cup under the spout and the fresh coffee drips directly into the cup for a near instant cup of coffee. The clean up is minimal, just remove the pod, wipe the machine down and your machine is ready to go for the next time.

You can buy single cup coffee makers that make espresso or even cappuccino at the touch of a button, again using the pod system. Or you can buy coffee makers that make excellent espresso coffee using traditional ground coffee which use the drip through method. You simply put in one scoop of your favorite coffee, fill the water tank with one cup of water then place the cup under the drip feed and switch on. The perfect caffeine hit in less that a minute.

There are also individual thermal type travel cups that work similar to a cafetiere where you place your sachet of coffee in the mug, pour on the hot water then cover with a lid for a minute or so. Then, when the coffee is brewed you push down the plunger that is incorporated into the lid and hey presto, freshly brewed coffee available anywhere. You can now have fresh coffee up in the mountains or even on that family camping trip. The only thing you need is the facility to boil some water. How cool is that!

The advantage of single cup coffee makers is the convenience of not having to brew a full pot of coffee each time. There is no cleaning up of the soggy coffee grounds and you can produce your coffee in quick time.

Today there are dozens, if not hundreds of different flavours of coffee available from simple high roast, medium roast and light roast to peach or almond flavors. There will be a flavor for everyone’s taste.

In today’s throwaway society, single cup coffee makers are ideal for the cost conscious individual. If only one cup of steaming hot, freshly brewed coffee is required, you will not have to brew a full pot and then throw away the surplus. Using single cup coffee makers you can just brew one cup of your favorite flavor coffee to enjoy in nearly the same time as it takes to make a single cup of instant coffee.
