Single Brew Coffee Machines If you're looking for a single-serve espresso machine that brews tea or coffee in the way you like it this model is your ideal choice. It's easy to use and has four different brewing options. It can be used with single-pack coffee or ground coffee and tea bags. It can be used in conjunction with reusable pods. This is a great option for those concerned about the plastic waste that comes from disposable K-cups. 1. Keurig K-Select This Keurig is a great choice for those who love coffee but do not have enough space to buy larger brewing machines. It's the smallest Keurig available and measures just 13.6 inches from front to back. This allows it to be tucked away in a small kitchen or office. It can brew one cup of coffee in less than minutes and comes with an oversized water tank that can hold 52 ounces. It also has an “strong” option that increases the strength of the coffee to match your preference. The machine isn't without a drawback that it doesn't produce crema, the caramel-colored foam layer coffee drinkers believe enhances the flavor of their drinks. This isn't a problem to the majority of people, but some might find it an issue. It's easy to clean; just disconnect the machine and take off the pod holder. The machine can be cleaned by spraying it with a cleaning agent and wiping it down. The needles that are brewing can be cleaned and removed using a paper clip which is a great feature to use when your machine is getting blocked. The machine is expensive because it only accepts K-Cup pods. It doesn't accept third-party pods which appeared on the market in 2012 after the Keurig 2.0 Patent expired. You might want to look at an alternative model if you're looking for a device that comes in a variety of sizes and the option of a carafe. The Keurig K-Select also has the most simple operation. It has two buttons that are used to turn on the machine and the second to select the size of the cup. The smart brewer shuts off automatically after two hours to save energy. It also has a window on the reservoir of water that shows when it is time to refill. 2. Cuisinart Grind & Brew This machine allows you to use both pre-ground beans and K-Cup pods. This machine is perfect for those who are eco-conscious, have limited space, or simply love filter and single-served coffee. This machine can grind whole beans into finely ground, ready-to-brew coffee grounds or brew pre-ground coffee that is stored in the tray that is removable. You can also brew Keurig's off-the-shelf K-Cups and other popular brands of single-use pods. This allows you to make an espresso quickly or a pot of coffee, without having to clean the carafe. The Grind & Brew's controls are simple and easy to use. The front panel of the machine contains all the information you need to know about the brewing capacity (in increments two) as well as power on/off, decalcification alarm and brew indicator as well as grinding settings. The machine can also make 12 cups of carafe coffee and is programmable for up to 24 hours advance coffee brewing. The machine comes with a removable drip tray and a capsule holder. It does not come with a brush for cleaning, but you can wash the tray and holder yourself or throw them in the dishwasher. The machine is covered by a three-year warranty and can be purchased directly from Cuisinart as well as Williams Sonoma Amazon Crate & Barrell and Target. The machine was packed securely and covered with molded pulp for extra protection during shipping. The packaging is recyclable. The machine and the contents arrived in excellent condition. The box and contents came with a user manual that was easy to read. The coffeemaker requires decalcification once every month. The machine will notify you when it's time to do so. 3. Breville Precision Brewer The Breville Precision Brewer is an amazing machine that takes drip coffee to the next level. This machine has customizable settings that allow the user to make the perfect cup of espresso every time. There are single coffee machine Coffeee preset modes that include “gold,”“fast,”“strong,”“iced,“and “cold brew.” This brewer can be used with cone and flat filters and has one cup mode. The machine also comes with six different baskets that can be used for highlighting certain flavors. The machine uses a thermocoil heating system and pump system that has a PID digital temperature control that ensures an exact temperature throughout the brewing cycle. This is a major benefit in that many premium drip coffee makers use plates that are heated to heat the water. This is not an ideal method of heating water since it can result in scorching your coffee and inconsistent brewing. The Breville also comes with an internal water pump that makes a the sound of a humming while it is brewing. This is a nice feature, as it allows the user to know that their coffee is done making. The Brewer is sleek and minimalist and will look stunning on any countertop. The brushed stainless steel and clear plastic construction give it a modern elegant appearance. Breville's brewer measures 12 x 7 x 16 inches and will fit comfortably in most medium-to-large kitchens. Breville also comes with a couple of quick-start brochures and a complete instruction manual that will help new users get up to speed quickly. The only drawback to Breville is the noise of the water pump. This can be distracting for those who live in apartment buildings. 4. Aeropress The AeroPress is a handy device that brews one cup of coffee at one time. It's a piston style brewer which uses air pressure to push water through the coffee grounds and into your mug, giving it a distinct and clean taste. Aeropress coffee is widely praised by coffee connoisseurs for its balanced, well-rounded flavor. Aeropress is a great option for campers and travelers because it's light compact and durable. This manual brewer is simple to use. You simply add a scoop of freshly ground Cupper's coffee to the inverted AeroPress Chamber, stir and then add hot water. Then, you can choose to leave it steep for several minutes or pour it immediately. When you're done, the coffee can be served straight out of the cup or poured into your mug to make an espresso-like beverage. The AeroPress lets you determine the strength of your coffee regardless of whether you prefer an ineffective French Press or a strong pour-over for just one cup. The unique design of the device helps the process move along quickly, reducing the time that the coffee stays in the filter. The AeroPress may be a relative newcomer to the world of coffee brewing devices but it's already breaking sales records and invigorating a whole generation of coffee enthusiasts. AeroPress contests for brewing are being held on an international level! AeroPress has recently introduced AeroPress Go which is a portable device that combines the AeroPress as well as an insulated travel mug. This version combines the device with a travel mug which is a nice addition for campers, hikers, and globetrotters. The price is comparable to the original, but the device is smaller and comes with all the same features. 5. Keurig K-Duo Plus The K-Duo Plus is a dual-function coffee maker that can brew either single-serve cups or carafes. It can brew either K-Cup pods or ground coffee. It also has multiple brew sizes, 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 with programmable auto-brew to the carafe, and thermos carafes to keep your beverage warm for up two hours. This coffee maker is a great option for families who are looking for the versatility of being able to make a single cup or a full carafe. It's simple to use, with a clear LCD display and easy-to-use buttons. It also comes with the gold-toned reusable filter so you don't have to buy paper filters. It also doesn't lose heat at the same rate when making two pots at a time as was the case with other models we tested. If you're hosting friends or simply enjoying an unplanned morning it's the Keurig K-Duo Plus can make both single-serves or an entire carafe for any event. It can be used with your favorite ground coffee or hundreds of K-Cup pods of tea, coffee, and cocoa. It can be programmed up to 24 hours in advance and provides options for the type and strength of coffee, in addition to various sizes of drinks from 6 to 12. This model also comes with an optional drip tray that can be used to accommodate travel mugs. The 60-oz reservoir is able to be placed facing left, right or towards the back to make room for more counter space. This is a great choice for those with limited counter space or an odd kitchen arrangement.
