Single Serving Coffee Makers Guide

Single serving coffee makers are becoming increasingly more prevalent today and you, the consumer, benefit from that. You end up with lots of options to choose between to ensure that you come away with the exact coffee maker that you want. Before you get into exactly which brands and models you would like to choose between, you first have to decide if you want a classic coffee maker or a pod coffee maker.

A classic coffee maker is one that can use any ground coffee of your preference. Some people prefer this because they have a wider array of coffee types to choose between and they aren't limited by what their brand of pod coffee maker produces or is compatible with. These single serving coffee makers are typically cheaper than their pod coffee maker counterparts.

A pod coffee maker of course uses a pod system to individually wrap and store each serving of coffee. These are becoming the most popular single serving coffee makers in today's environment, because many people like the no hassle, no cleanup system that a pod coffee maker provides.

Single Serving Coffee Makers Reviews

After discussing the basic differences and advantages of the two main types of single serving coffee makers, let's delve into a few of the popular models that are available.

Keurig B30 Mini Brewer: All Keurig coffee makers are pod coffee makers, and the B30 is the smallest of the bunch. Compact enough to fit into any small area, the B30 still produces excellent coffee. It brews an 8 ounce cup of coffee in only 3 minutes and will cost somewhere around $80.

Since all Keurig coffee makers are in fact single serving coffee makers, there are many Keurig models to choose between. The Keurig B40 Elite is a single coffee maker that can produce in two different sizes and has a water reservoir. This Keurig coffee maker will cost around $100.

The Keurig B60 Special Edition is a single coffee maker costing roughly $125 that can make three different sizes of coffee. The Keurig B70 Gourmet Coffee Maker, costing upwards of $150 can produce in four different sizes and has a larger water reservoir.

Braun Tassimo Coffee Makers: Braun Tassimo coffee makers are all also pod coffee makers. These are just as popular and widespread as Keurig, and which you prefer really boils down to preferences and what brands of coffee you enjoy the most. Tassimo, for example, has a deal with Starbucks coffee.

The Braun Tassimo TA 1400 is somewhat expensive at over $200 but is extremely stylish and produces great coffee. It has a large reservoir of 68 ounces so while it's a single coffee maker it is easily capable enough for an office environment. It produces coffee in an 11 ounce size. The Braun Tassimo TA 1200 is much cheaper at around $80. With a smaller reservoir of 50 ounces, it is still large enough to be an office coffee maker.

There are also several Bosch Tassimo coffee makers to choose between. For example the Bosch Tassimo TAS4511UC Single Serve Coffee Maker costs roughly $140.00 and has a 67 ounce water reservoir.

Moving onto cheaper ground coffee makers, the Brookstone Stainless Steel Single Cup Coffee Maker costs only $40. It makes a cup of coffee in just about 4 minutes and it makes it directly into a personal travel mug that you can take with you on your morning commute. The Brookstone is very stylish and easy to use.

A similar option is the Black & Decker Brew N'Go Coffeemaker. This costs only $25 and comes with a 15 ounce travel mug that the coffee is directly made into. The Black & Decker Cup-At-A-Time Coffeemaker is even cheaper at closer to $15. It can brew between 8 and 12 ounces of coffee at a time.

I could continue on for hours listing all of the variations of single serving coffee makers on the market, but this should suffice to give you a good idea of what is available, what you might prefer and what you would have to spend.
