The most common question we get here at Best Small Coffee Maker goes something like “I need a new coffee maker, but want the best one on the market” or “What coffee maker will give me the results I need?” Of course, the answer to either of these questions really involves a couple of basic considerations. First, it’s necessary to understand what the intended use is for. Will the coffee maker be used to brew coffee for just a single individual or a large group of people? Secondly, it’s also important to understand the amount of money that will be budgeted for the purchase. Prices for small coffee makers vary wildly, so it really is important to establish a budget. The vast majority of users want a machine that is user friendly and that produces a consistently great cup of coffee.
For those people that desire the ultimate in convenience and ease of use, there is simply no better option than a pod brewer manufactured by The Keurig Company. As a subsidiary of Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Keurig produces a line of machines that are designed to brew a single cup of coffee using pre-measured portions of ground beans. These portions come in individually sealed packages or “pods” called K-Cups. The K-Cup comes in a variety of flavors and is meant to be placed directly into a Keurig brewer. The brewer pierces the cup and infuses the grounds with heated water to produce a cup of coffee in less than 1 minute.
The results, according to many independent user reviews, are simply outstanding. While it’s possible to achieve a better cup of coffee using freshly ground beans and a French Press device, the convenience of a Keurig pod brewer cannot be matched. The clean up process is also a breeze and involves nothing more than removing the empty pod after the brewing process is completed. The cost for a Keurig brewer is a bit on the pricy side, though it’s hard to argue with the reviews and ease of use. The machines range from $80 on the low end to around $150 on the high end.
If you’re in the market for a highly rated machine that is capable of brewing fantastic coffee in under a minute then look no further than a Keurig.
And here is a little video about using the Keurig single cup pod brewing system. Enjoy!
