Single Serve Coffee Reviews

Coffee is a popular drink that is typically consumed in the morning to get up and going. Single serve coffee makers utilize either pre-packaged coffee pods or ground coffee beans to make coffee.

Georgina Cowley, a marketing manager at Lincoln and York, says these options lower the barrier to entry for those who don't want to buy an ordinary brewer or grinder. These bags also eliminate the mess that can come with pour-over bags.

Keurig K-Supreme's K-Supreme Smart Single Serve Coffee Maker

Keurig's K-Supreme Smart Single Serve Coffee Maker is the top-of-the-line machine and showcases many of the latest features before they are rolled out to lower models. The multi-stream technology that it has developed is patented and punctures five holes into each pod instead of just one (like older Keurig machines) and claims to improves the extraction of flavor and aroma from the ground coffee that is in the pods. It also comes with a brand new brew mode that allows you to drink over ice, which according to the company will result in a cooler smoother cup of coffee.

Besides its innovative system for brewing, the K-Supreme Smart has other bells and whistles, including a hot/cold milk frother and Keurig's Barista Mode, which automatically adjusts the strength of your beverage. It is also an e-brewer that is connected, with WiFi and the Keurig App that allows you to manage it remotely and receive notifications about the brewing process. If you're a regular Keurig user the app can aid you in keeping your life well-organized and track your inventory. Plus, if you're a current K-Cup Auto Delivery member, the app can keep the track of your beverages and automatically make replacement orders before you run out.

Even if you don't have either a tablet or smartphone or laptop, the K-Supreme Smart is still easy to use and offers full customizable brewing settings. Like all Keurig brewers, it recognizes the brand as well as the variety and roast of the K-Cup pod that you insert, but its advanced feature called Brew ID elevates that feature to a whole new level by reading a QR code on each pod and automatically optimizing the brewing temperature and water flow for the specific blend's ingredients.

The K-Supreme Smart has a slightly larger footprint than previous Keurig machines. However, it's still small enough to fit on most kitchen counters and has a handy k-cup storage drawer on the front. The base is made of plastic, which means it's lighter and easier to lift than older Keurigs.

Although we haven't tested it however, the K-Supreme Smart can connect to your home Wi-Fi to gain access to more advanced settings and cool functions, such as an adjustable digital display that displays your brew timer and the temperature of your drink. You can also program it to shut off at a specific time and schedule automatic re-orders so that you never have to run out of your favorite drink.

Cuisinart Grind & Brew Single Serve Coffee Maker

Whether you're an eco-conscious coffee drinker, have a limited space or both, the Cuisinart Grind & Brew is a great choice. The machine is designed to be easy and simple to use, but it has a few distinctive features that help it stand out from the rest.

It comes with disposable filter cups that are a great option to avoid purchasing and discarding disposable coffee pods. The built-in burr mill is the most prominent feature. This allows you grind your own beans right before making your coffee. This gives your coffee an intense flavor and is much cheaper than buying pre-ground beans from the supermarket.

Put your beans in the grinder, then place a cup in the brewing slot. The machine will automatically create up to 12 ounces of coffee. This is a little smaller than the maximum capacity of Keurig's K-Cup pods however it lets you enjoy your favorite cup of coffee without having to purchase and throw out hundreds of pods each week.

The water tank is big enough, and the machine itself is small enough to fit most countertops. The controls are easy and simple and even have a light that shows when the water tank needs to be filled. It's also quiet compared to other models we've looked at, and it's easy to clean the grinder, hopper and the reusable filter.

This model can only brew one serving at a given time. If you prefer to use a carafe for brewing, you'll want to consider the Cuisinart Coffee Center brewer or a different model that can handle larger quantities. It's a minor issue however, it's something that needs to be noted before you purchase this machine.

If you don't have space for a large coffee maker but you want to begin your day with a cup of hot coffee, a single-serve maker is an excellent option. These machines pour your preferred beverage into a glass or mug, and they're less expensive than full-sized coffee makers or orders to-go at the coffee shop.

The BLACK+DECKER single-serve coffee maker is a small, easy coffee maker that is perfect for college students and apartment dwellers. This model has only one button, so it's quick and simple to use. It can be used with coffee grounds or pre-packaged soft pods and it comes with a permanent filter that is easy to clean.

The BLACK+DECKER coffeemaker is simple to set up and requires just a tiny amount of water to make a single cup.

It comes with a handy lid and reservoir that makes it simple to clean and refill.

If you are new to single-serve brewing and are looking to reap the maximum benefits it is essential to understand the correct way to prepare your coffee beans. To get the best results, you should wash your coffee beans with warm water to eliminate any residue from the grinder. After that, add your desired amount of water to the tank and pour your coffee grind into the basket. If you're using a K-Cup you'll need to add about 1 tablespoon of beans to make 6 ounces. If you're using loose leaf coffee, you should scoop into two tablespoons to make an 8-ounce cup.

After you've finished setting up the BLACK+DECKER set-up, run a few pots of water through to check that everything is working properly. After that, simply add your beverage of choice into the mug and enjoy!

Bruvi Single-Serve Espresso Maker

Danielle is a self-proclaimed coffee fiend and can't start her day without a cup. After testing a variety of single serve machines, she believes the Bruvi to be one of the top pod-based coffee makers available. The brews are delicious and quality that surpasses many of the other pod-based coffee makers she's tried and is simple to use. The Bruvi also makes other drinks, such as hot coffee or hot water. It's an ideal accessory to your kitchen.

The Bruvi coffee maker was created to be a healthier, more sustainable alternative to traditional K-Cups. It uses a proprietary B-Pod pod, which contains 40 percent extra coffee than a regular K-Cup. The pod is saturated with 20 streams of hot water to ensure the best extraction. The company's goal is to create the same quality coffee you'd find in a cafe, and their exclusive line of coffees are produced sustainably and ethically. The Bruvi's brewing machine is quick and produces a pleasant chime to let you know when your drink is ready.

The machine will automatically alter the settings once you insert the pod. A regular coffee pod, for example will display the choices for hot or iced and espresso coffee, while an espresso pod displays the different options for a shot espresso. Bruvi can even make cold brew coffee, a drink that, according to the company, has less acidity than regular coffee and is easier to drink.

The Bruvi is an elegant and stylish design that will look great on any countertop. The touchscreen that it uses for user interaction is the most clear and intuitive of any single-serve machine I've used. Icons and text are easy to read and the screen is organized so that any icon that isn't needed at a given moment disappears. The Bruvi is also extremely quiet, which is vital when you're sipping your coffee while getting ready for the day. If your beverage is ready, a louder indicator will ding. The Bruvi comes with a brewer, a filter for water, and a pack of 20 B Pods.
