Millions of people around the world start their day off with a cup of coffee. Some will brew a cup at home while others may get theirs at a coffeehouse. If you are thinking about purchasing a new coffee maker, you should consider the advantages of the new single serve machines that are available on the market.
One advantage of single serve coffee machines, is that they use something called a pod to brew the desired coffee. A pod contains enough coffee to brew one cup of coffee. Because of this, there is not a need to make a whole pot any more.
Also, with the pod technology, there is no guessing or measuring of coffee for this type of maker. The pods of coffee are premeasured and all you have to do is place the pod in the machine and select the size cup you would like to have. The clean up is very easy as well. You just open the arm on the machine and discard the pod when the machine has finished its cycle.
Another advantage of a single serve maker is the fact that the coffee is fresh every time. How many times have you gone back to the coffee pot to refill your cup and the coffee tastes stale or burnt? This happened all the time at my home. There were many days that I would feel guilty if I just had one cup then threw the rest down the drain because it tasted bad. Since you only brew coffee one cup at a time with this type of machine, there is no more wasting coffee.
There are several different kinds of single serve coffee machines on the market, but I have a Keurig coffee machine. For the Keurig's coffee machines, there are over 250 different types of coffee to choose from. They call their pod a K-cup. K-cups come in the caffeinated and non-caffeinated versions as well. So, you are essentially able to brew a gourmet-style cup of coffee in the comfort of your own home at any time of the day.
Another advantage of this type of brewer is that everyone can brew the kind of coffee that they like. If someone in the house is a bold coffee drinker and another likes a milder type, they are not stuck drinking something that was not their choice. I have family gatherings at my home regularly, and coffee after dinner is commonplace. Everyone is very pleased with the fact that they can choose whatever they would like for their coffee.
After the initial purchase of a single serve coffee machine which ranges in price from $ 85 to $ 190, the cost per cup of coffee is much less than that of a cup of coffee from a gourmet coffeehouse. The average cost per cup of coffee is anywhere from $ 0.65 to $ 1.25 with a Keurig coffee machine. Compare this to upwards of $ 5.00 per cup at a coffeehouse. You will save a lot of money with the single serve coffee brewer.
If you are considering purchasing a new coffee maker for yourself, the single serve coffee makers like the Keurig would be an excellent choice. You will give yourself and others the freedom to pick and choose different kinds of coffee from cup to cup, and you are able to make it fresh every time. Save yourself some time and money and consider a single serve coffee machine for your next coffee maker.
