year. The problem with your average coffee maker is that it is usually designed
to make ten to twelve cups of coffee per pot. This is fine for the office or
maybe a diner but a casual coffee drinker doesn't need all that. With an
average coffee maker, if you only drink one or two cups a day, you are wasting
between eight and ten cups. That's a lot of coffee! Another thing is if you
buy a big can of coffee, it will most likely get stale after a while. These are
all good reasons you might want a single cup coffee maker.Single cup coffee
makers are perfect for single people and those that just want a better cup of
coffee than a normal coffee pot will allow. A single cup coffee maker gives you
a higher quality cup of coffee because it was designed for just that. One
premium cup of coffee. Other coffee makers will brew more at a time but they
are designed for speed not quality.Single cup coffee makers are a bit more
expensive than multi-cup coffee makers. This is because normally the only
coffee you can use in them is sold in "pod" form. This is basically a self
contained package that has coffee inside little flat oval shaped filters. If
you browse your retail aisles, you should be able to tell easily what sells and
what doesn't. This is good to keep in mind so you don't buy a new coffee maker
only to have it obsolete and useless in just a few months. There are a few name
brands such as Senseo and Mr. Coffee that you can't go wrong with but you should
definitely shop around and read some reviews and comparisons before making your
purchase.Each single cup coffee maker tends to be unique. Some will let you
change the strength you desire or if you want four or eight ounces of coffee.
Some will put foam or froth on top of each cup. There are many different
options available to you. There are many places you can purchase a single cup
coffee maker. The most obvious choice is a retail store that has many different
types lined up on a shelf. This lets you see what they look like, what they do,
and what they offer. Appearance is important because if your entire kitchen has
stainless steel appliances, a black plastic pot might not fit the theme of the
kitchen. Price is always a factor because if something will do the exact same
thing for $50.00 less, you might as well give it a shot and upgrade if
necessary.The only drawback to single cup coffee makers is that they only make
one cup at a time. If you have many guests you will have to run back and forth,
replace coffee pods, and make individual cups. The guests might appreciate the
higher quality, so that is a choice you will have to make.
