1 Cup Coffee Maker - The Perfect Cup - Hot, Fresh, NOW! 

It seems now days that everyone has a favorite coffee or hot beverage -- and no two people are ever want the same thing. 

If you make a pot of coffee -- someone will need decaf.  If you pull out the espresso machine -- expect to get requests for hot chocolate.  And don't forget the tea crowd.  And the Latte bunch.

Enter your life saver -- The 1 Cup Coffee Maker.

Many of us -- especially those of us of a certain age -- remember with horror the old airport and hospital vending machines that delivered a single up of what could only charitably be called "coffee" into a waxed paper cup.

Well you can strike those bad memories from your head.  These modern countertop wonders will deliver hot coffee and other beverages which equal or even exceed in taste what we too often pay 4 to 5 dollars or more for at gourmet coffee shops.

What's more is that you will never have to reheat cold coffee in the microwave or waste money by throwing out half a pot undrunk.  For the right person, family or small office, a single serve coffee maker could pay for itself within a month or two. 

And if you are one of the people (like me) who like to hit the snooze alarm until the very last possible minute, you will love the fact that in under a minute you can have a perfect hot cup with hardly any mess to clean up -- and without having to stop at a crowded coffee shop or busy gas station.

One Cup Coffee Makers - The 2 Main Types

There are basically two types of the single serving coffee maker that you find when you start looking to get one for your home:  The "Mini Brewer" and the Pod System.

The Mini Brewer (that's my description -- I couldn't find a "real" name for these -- don't go searching for that on Google) are basically scaled-down versions of the larger drip coffee makers we are accustomed to.  

You have the basket and the filter.  But they are smaller in size -- made for making one cup at a time. 

Naturally, as the market for coffee makers is huge, there are also 2 cup, 4 cup, 6 cup and so on.

The Pod System is the newer entry into the market and consists of a brewer that takes premeasured "pods" of coffee, tea or other beverage.

Many people fall in love with the convenience of this no-fuss way of making coffee.

Both systems have their advantages and disadvantages -- and you should look around and see what is offered then consider your needs and budget before you make your decision.

The 1 Cup Coffee Maker you buy today should last for many years.  Get one that you will enjoy.
