Single Brew Coffee Machines

This model is the ideal option if you want one-serve machines that brew coffee or tea to your preference. It's easy to use, has four different brewing options and is compatible with single-pack or ground tea bags and coffee.

It can also be used with reusable pods. This is a great option for those who are concerned about plastic waste from disposable K-cups.

1. Keurig K-Select

This Keurig is a great option for those who want to enjoy coffee but don't have the space or budget to purchase a larger brewing machine. It's the smallest Keurig on the market and only takes up 13.6 inches from front to back, which means it can be tucked into a small kitchen or office. It can brew one cup of coffee in less than one minute, and it comes with an water tank that can hold up to 52 ounces. It also comes with the "strong" option that increases the strength of the coffee to suit your preference.

One drawback to this machine is that it doesn't produce crema, which is a caramel-colored layer of foam that individual coffee maker drinkers believe gives flavor and depth to their drinks. This isn't a huge deal however it could be a problem for some people. It's simple to clean; just unplug the machine, and then take out the pod holder. It is then sprayed with a cleaning solution and then wiped clean. Paper clips can be used to clean the needles of your brewing. This is beneficial in the event that your machine gets blocked.

Another drawback to this machine is that it will only accept K-Cup pods which can be costly. It does not work with third-party pods that came out on the market following the Keurig 2.0 patent expired in 2012. If you're looking for a machine that can brew in a range of sizes or has a carafe, you might require an alternative model.

The Keurig K-Select is also the simplest to operate. It has a large button that is used to turn on the machine and off, and a smaller one that is used to select your preferred cup size. The smart brewer shuts down automatically after two hours, which helps save energy. It also has a window in the reservoir of water that shows when it is time to refill.

2. Cuisinart Grind & Brew

Contrary to many other reviews single serve coffee makers brew coffee machines which only allow you to use pre-ground beans or off-the-shelf K-Cup pods, this one allows you to utilize both. This machine is perfect for those who are eco-conscious or have limited space or simply love filtering and single-served coffee.

This machine can grind whole beans into finely ground, ready-to-brew ground or brew coffee that is stored in the removable tray. You can also use Keurig's K-Cups or other popular single-use pods. This flexibility means you can enjoy a quick cup of espresso or a whole pot of coffee without cleaning the carafe.

The controls on the Grind & Brew are easy to operate. The front of the machine displays all the information you need to know about the brewing capacity (in increments of two) as well as power on/off, brew indicator and decalcification alarm and grinding settings. The machine can also brew 12 cups of carafe-sized coffee. It also has a handy feature that allows for up to 24-hour advance brewing.

The machine comes with a removable drip tray and capsule holder. The machine doesn't include a cleaning tool, but you can wash the drip tray and capsule holder by hand. The machine is covered by a three-year warranty and can be purchased directly from Cuisinart as well as Williams Sonoma Amazon Crate & Barrell and Target. The machine was packaged tightly and covered with moulded paper to provide extra protection. The packaging is recyclable. The machine and its contents were in good condition. The package and contents were provided with a clear, user's manual that is easy to read. The machine will notify you when decalcification is due.

3. Breville Precision Brewer

The Breville Precision Brewer is an incredible machine that takes drip coffee to the next level. This machine has customizable settings that allow users to make a perfect cup espresso every time. There are six pre-programmed brewing modes that include "gold," "fast," "strong," "iced," and "cold brew." The brewer also has a dedicated single serving coffee machine cup mode that accepts cone and flat filters. The machine also has six different baskets that can be used for highlighting certain flavors.

The machine is equipped with a thermocoil pump and a heating system with a digital temperature control PID that ensures an even temperature throughout the making process. This is a major benefit in that many premium drip coffee makers use heated plates to heat the water. This is not an ideal method of heating water because it could result in scorching your coffee and uneven the brewing. The Breville comes with a water-pump that produces a humming sound when it is brewing. This is an excellent feature because it informs the user when their coffee is finished in the process of brewing.

The Brewer is sleek and minimalist, so it is perfect for any countertop. The brushed stainless steel and clear plastic construction gives it a modern elegant appearance. Breville's brewer is approximately 12 7 inches by 16 inches and will fit well in a majority of medium-to-large kitchens. Breville also comes with a couple of quick-start pamphlets as well as a comprehensive instruction manual to help novice users get up and running quickly. The only issue with the brewer, is the noise of the water pump. It can be a distraction for those who live in apartment buildings.

4. Aeropress

The AeroPress is an ingenious little device that can make one cup of coffee every time. It's an old-fashioned piston brewer that makes use of air pressure to push water through the grounds and into your cup, resulting in a distinct and clean taste. Aeropress coffee has been praised by many coffee connoisseurs for its balanced, well-rounded flavor. It is a great choice for campers and travelers because it's light and compact. It's also durable.

The manual brewer is easy to use. You simply 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 leave it steep for a few minutes or plunge immediately. Once you're done, the coffee can either be served straight-up or pressed in your mug for an espresso-like drink.

The AeroPress allows you to determine the strength of your coffee depending on whether you'd like an ineffective French Press or a robust pour-over to a single cup. The unique design of the device allows the process to move quickly, reducing the time that the coffee stays in the filter.

The AeroPress could be a relative newcomer to the world of coffee brewing machines but it is already breaking sales records and invigorating a whole generation of coffee enthusiasts. AeroPress contests for brewing are being held at an international level! AeroPress has recently introduced the AeroPress Go, a portable unit that is a combination of the AeroPress as well as the travel mug. This version includes an insulated travel mug that's perfect for travelers, hikers and campers. The price is comparable to the original model, however the device is smaller and has all the same features.

5. Keurig K-Duo Plus

The K-Duo Plus is a dual-purpose device that it can use to make single-serve cups as well as carafes. It can use ground coffee or K-Cup pods and comes with a variety of brew sizes including 6 8, 10, and 12 ounces for a single serve coffee machine cup and 6-, 8-, 10-, or 12-cup carafe. It also comes with a strong brew option, programmable auto-brew for the carafe, and a thermos carafe that keeps your beverage warm up to two hours.

This coffee machine is a great option for families who are looking for the flexibility of being able to make one cup or a large carafe. The screen is easy to read and the buttons are easy to use. Plus, it includes an reusable gold-tone filter, so you don't need to buy paper filters. It also doesn't lose temperature at the same rate when making two pots at a time as was the case with other models we tested.

The Keurig K-Duo Plus is perfect for any occasion, whether you're hosting guests or having a quiet morning. It can be used to make single-serves as well as a carafe. It can be used to brew your preferred ground coffee, as well as hundreds of K Cup pods of tea, cocoa, and coffee. It's programmable up to 24 hours in advance and offers options for the kind of coffee you wish to prepare, the strength of the brew and a variety of sizes from 6 to 12 ounces. This model has an adjustable drip pan that can accommodate travel cups. The 60-oz water reservoir can be placed to face the left, right, or towards the back of the machine for better counter space accommodation. This is a great choice for those with small counter space or an odd kitchen arrangement.
