Finding an Individual Coffee Maker

People like the convenience of an individual coffee maker for a variety of reasons. Individual coffee makers are typically very easy to setup and to use. Since you're only making one cup of coffee at a time, they are usually very fast and efficient. Best of all, the majority are wonderfully cheap and affordable. Let's take a look at some of the best individual coffee makers on the market. You'll see that there are a variety of options and styles to choose between.

Individual Coffee Makers - Travel

We'll begin with the individual coffee maker that's designed to take on the road. What I mean by this is a coffee maker that makes its coffee into a supplied travel mug. No accessories necessary and no hassle, your coffee is made directly into the travel mug you'll take into work, on your commute or anywhere else.

One popular variation is the Black & Decker Brew N'Go. Costing only around $25, it brews into a 15 ounce travel mug that's included with purchase. Another model is the Toastess TFC-25T Coffee Maker. This model is very small and sleek, and comes with a 15 ounce stainless steel thermal travel mug. It will cost roughly $50.

Bodum makes a 16 ounce coffee press with travel mug that costs just $20. With a three part filter system there's no trouble brewing into and drinking from the same cup, in this case, the included travel mug. Making coffee in just four minutes, you can actually brew your coffee on the go.

Meanwhile a surprising entry into the individual coffee maker fold, at least for some, is from Brookstone. The Brookstone Stainless Steel Singe Cup Coffee Maker looks great and takes just four minutes to brew up the coffee of your choosing. The Brookstone costs about $40.

Individual Coffee Makers - Pods

You could also opt for your individual coffee maker to be a pod coffee maker. Pod coffee makers brew one cup at a time in a prepackaged pod or disc. The two most popular brands are Keurig and Tassimo. With the pod system, you have little cleanup or setup to worry about and get to enjoy a consistently great cup of coffee every time.

The Keurig B30 individual coffee maker is a nice looking, tiny brewer that makes 8 ounces of coffee at a time. The Keurig B40 allows you to make coffee in two different sizes and has a water reservoir to keep filled to allow for fast brewing of second and third cups. Both of these models cost less than $100, while Keurig also makes several other larger and more feature-rich models. Go here for more Keurig coffee makers.

You'll likely see fewer options for Tassimo coffee makers. The most popular of which is the Braun Tassimo TA 1400, which is more expensive at $200 but has a huge reservoir of 68 ounces and can brew up a fresh cup of coffee in less than two minutes. Read more on Tassimo coffee makers.

Individual Coffee Makers - Other

If you're not looking for a pod coffee maker a great individual coffee maker for your home is the Black & Decker Cup-At-A-Time Coffeemaker. It's the king of affordability, costing just $15 and can brew up a fresh cup in either 8 or 12 ounce sizes.

You could also opt for a variety of coffee press models. I mentioned the travel Bodum coffee press above. Bodum of course makes a wide range of other highly recommended coffee presses. There is the Bodum Chambord 3-Cup Coffee Press for $30, the Bodum Chambord 12 ounce Coffee Press for $25 and the Bodum New Kenya 17 ounce Coffee Press for $20.

Another coffee press to consider is the Aerobie Aeropress which scores very well in consumer reports and costs $25.

The choice is yours, but rest assured, your perfect individual coffee maker is out there, and it won't set you back tons of money to get.
