Single Brew Coffee Machines
This model is a great option for those who want one-serve machines that prepare tea or coffee according to your preference. It's easy to use, has four different brewing styles and is compatible with ground or single-pack tea bags and coffee.
It can be used in conjunction with reusable pods. This is a great solution for those who are concerned about the plastic waste generated by disposable K-cups.
1. Keurig K-Select
This Keurig is a great choice for those who wish to enjoy coffee but don't have the space or budget to invest in a larger coffee maker. It's the smallest Keurig available on the market, and it only takes up 13.6 inches from front to back, so it can easily be tucked into a small kitchen or office. It has a reservoir of water that can hold up to 52 ounces, and can prepare a single cup of coffee within a minute. It also has a "strong" option that can increase the strength of the coffee to match your preferences.
This machine has one drawback: it does not produce the caramel-colored foam layer that coffee drinkers believe adds flavor to their drinks. This isn't a huge deal, but it might be a problem for a few people. It's easy to clean: simply unplug the machine and then remove the pod holder. It is then sprayed with a cleaning solution and then wiped clean. Paper clips can be used to clean the brewing needles. This is beneficial in the event that your machine gets clogged.
Another downside to this machine is that it only accepts K-Cup pods, which can be expensive. It does not accept the third-party pods which appeared on the market in 2012 after the Keurig 2.0 Patent expired. You might want to look at another model if you're looking for a device that comes in a variety of sizes and an insulated carafe.
The Keurig K-Select also has the most simple operation. It has two buttons: one to turn on the machine and another to select the size of the cup. It's a smart brewer that turns itself off after two hours of use to conserve energy, and the water reservoir is a transparent display that indicates when it is time to be filled.
2. Cuisinart Grind & Brew
In contrast to other single brew coffee machines that only offer the option to make use of pre-ground beans or off-the-shelf K-Cup pods, this model allows you to utilize both. This machine is perfect for those who are environmentally conscious or have limited space or love both 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 you can store in the removable tray. You can also brew Keurig's off-the-shelf K-Cups and other popular brands of single-use pods. This means you can have a quick cup of espresso or a large pot of coffee without having to clean the carafe.
The controls on the Grind & Brew are easy to use. All pertinent information is displayed on the front of the machine: brewing capacity (in increments of two), power on/off the brew indicator light, decalcification alert, as well as grinding settings. The machine can also brew 12 cups of carafe coffee, and can be programmed for up to 24 hours of advance in brewing.
The machine includes a removable drip pan and a capsule holder. Coffeee does not come with a cleaning tool, but you can wash the drip tray and the capsule holder by hand. The machine comes with a three-year warranty and is available directly from Cuisinart and also Williams Sonoma, Amazon, Crate and Barrel, and Target. The machine was packed tightly and covered with moldable paper to offer extra protection. The packaging is recyclable. The machine and its contents were in great condition. The package and contents were supplied with a user's manual that was easy to read. The machine will notify you when the decalcification is due.
3. Breville Precision Brewer
The Breville Precision Brewer takes drip coffee to a new level. It has adjustable settings to let the user make an ideal cup of coffee every time. There are six preset settings which include "gold,""fast,""strong,""iced,"and "cold brew." This brewer can be used with cone as well as flat filters and features one cup option. It also comes with six different baskets that can be used to highlight specific flavors.
The machine utilizes a thermocoil heating and pump system with PID digital temperature control to maintain an exact temperature throughout the brewing cycle. This is a major selling point for premium drip coffee machines, since many coffee machines utilize a heated plate to heat the water. This is not the most efficient method to heat water, as it can result in uneven the brewing process and also scorch your coffee. Breville Breville also comes with an internal water pump that makes a an eerie sound when it is making coffee. This is an excellent feature because it lets the user know when their coffee is finished in the process of brewing.
The brewer features a sleek minimalist design that will look good on any counter. The brushed stainless steel and clear plastic construction give it a modern, elegant appearance. Breville's brewer measures around 12 7 inches by 16 inches, and will fit in most large and medium-sized kitchens. Breville also comes with a couple of quick start pamphlets and a full instruction manual that will help novice users get up to speed quickly. The only drawback to the brewer is the water pump noise that can be distracting if you reside in an apartment.
4. Aeropress
The AeroPress is a clever little device that can make a cup of coffee per time. It's an brewer with a piston design that utilizes air pressure to push water through the grounds and into your cup, resulting in an unmistakable and clean flavor. Many coffee lovers praise Aeropress coffee due to its well-rounded, balanced taste. It's a fantastic choice for campers and travelers because it is lightweight and compact. It's also tough.
The manual brewer is easy to use. Add a scoop of freshly ground Cupper's Coffee to the inverted AeroPress Chamber, stir, and then add hot water. You can then choose to let it sit for a couple of minutes or plunge it straight away. Once you're done, the coffee can either be served straight-up or pressed in your mug for an espresso-like drink.
One of the most appealing aspects about the AeroPress is that it allows you to manage the strength of your coffee, no matter if you're making an ineffective French press or a robust single-cup pour-over. The device's unique design also assists in making the process go quickly, minimizing the amount of time the coffee stays in the filter.
The AeroPress is an absolute newcomer to the world of brewing equipment and is already setting records for sales, creating a vibrant community, and inspiring an entire generation of coffee enthusiasts.

For those who prefer to brew on the move and are on the go, AeroPress recently introduced an all-in-one portable unit known as the AeroPress Go. The model comes with an insulated travel mug that's perfect for travelers, hikers and campers. The price is similar to the original but the device is smaller and comes with all the same features.

It also comes with the gold-toned reusable filter so you don't need to buy paper filters.
