Nine Things That Your Parent Taught You About Single Brew Coffee Machines

Single Brew Coffee Machines

This model is the ideal choice if you're looking for one-serve machines that make tea or coffee to your preference. It's easy to use, offers four different brewing styles and is compatible with single-pack or ground tea bags and coffee.

It can be used in conjunction with reusable pods. This is a great option for those concerned about the waste of plastic generated by disposable K-cups.

1. Keurig K-Select

This Keurig makes a great option for those who are passionate about coffee but don't have enough space to buy larger brewing equipment. It's the smallest Keurig on the market, and it only takes up 13.6 inches from front to back making it able to be tucked into a small kitchen or office space. It can brew a cup of coffee in less than a minute and has a water tank that can hold up to 52 ounces. It also comes with the "strong" option that increases the strength of the coffee to match your preference.

This machine has one drawback that it doesn't create crema, the caramel-colored foam layer coffee drinkers believe enhances the flavor of their drinks. This isn't a huge deal, but it might be a problem for some people. It's easy to clean though; simply unplug the machine and remove the pod holder. The machine can be cleaned by spraying it with a cleaning solution and wiping it down. Paper clips can be used to clean the brewing needles. This is helpful when your machine is blocked.

Another issue with this machine is that it will only accept K-Cup pods which can be expensive. It does not work with third-party pods that erupted on the market after the Keurig 2.0 patent expired in 2012. You might want to look at an alternative model if you're looking for a machine with a variety of sizes and the option of a carafe.

The Keurig K-Select is also the easiest to use. It has two buttons one to power on the machine and the second to select the cup size. It is a smart brewer that shuts it down after two hours of usage to save energy and the reservoir for water displays a display to indicate when it is time to be refilled.
