Single Cup Coffee Makers

A single cup coffee maker can help you begin your day with a delicious, hot cup of coffee. These sleek machines make perfect gifts for the coffee enthusiast in your life.

There's a single-cup brewer for everyone, whether you prefer to use pods or grounds. Find out which models scored the highest in our tests for function, durability, user-friendliness and aesthetics.

User-Friendliness

If you only drink one cup of coffee a day, a single cup coffee maker is the best choice for you. It lets you make coffee quickly and easily. They're also great for a dorm or office, particularly because they take up less space than a full-sized drip machine and have no water reservoir to keep refilling.

These coffee makers use single-serve pods or coffee ground. They may also come with the "brew over ice" option which makes them ideal for making cold brew. Some single-cup coffeemakers can also be used with loose leaf tea which is ideal for those who enjoy herbal teas or rooibos.

There are a myriad of one cup coffee makers on the market and you'll need to decide which features are important to you. For instance, you may want a large water reservoir to reduce the number of times you'll need to refill it. Some water reservoirs are removable that are easy to carry to the sink, whereas others do not have a tank at all and require you to put in your own water.

Some of our top choices have a fast brewing time that can save you precious morning time. Some have thermal cups that keep your coffee hot for a few hours after the brew process is over. This can be a great convenience if you need to keep your coffee warm.

It's also important to decide if you want the convenience of K-Cups or prefer ground beans and filters. If you fall in the latter category, you might want to consider the Ninja CM407 and other options such as the Nespresso Essenza Mini. If you want to enjoy the taste of espresso without the hassles that come with a drip coffee maker then you should consider an AeroPress. It is important to think about how many people will be drinking the coffee. If you're a family of 3 or more people who consume coffee together, a single-cup coffeemaker is not the best option. You'll end up with coffee that's not being used.

Ease of Cleaning

It's important to clean your single-cup coffee maker. It's because, without proper care and maintenance the gunk could build up in the carafe or basket, causing an unpleasant taste. If the machine is left dirty for too long the reservoir may be home to yeast and mold, according to a 2011 study by NSF International. Even though these unpleasant things won't have a serious impact on your health, it's still a bit off-putting to awake with coffee that tastes bad. A regular cleaning routine can bring back your coffee maker to its original splendor.

A simple wash using the one household item you likely always have on hand--white vinegar--can do wonders when it comes to getting rid of the accumulation of hard water and sludge that can cause your coffee maker to stop working properly. We recommend de-scaling your machine at least once a month (or every three months) using the same steps you would follow to brew a pot of coffee.

Start by emptying the carafe and clean the lid, mug and brewing container with a soft cloth dipped in warm soapy water. Next, pour equal parts white vinegar and water into the reservoir. Then, you can brew the mixture just as you would in a normal pot of coffee. Let the mixture sit for approximately 45 minutes and give the vinegar a chance to dissolve the calcium deposits inside the reservoir of water and basket.

After 45 minutes, pour the solution out and run several brewing cycles using water that is clean to eliminate any remaining residue. If you don't happen to have vinegar, a mix of baking soda and clean water will work. Just make sure that there are no pulp, seeds or rinds in the solution.

If your Keurig is showing signs of more severe build-up, you can clean it using the same procedure as mentioned above by disassembling the machine to the point where you can wash each component separately in soapy, warm water. Then, rinse each part in warm soapy water and dry it with a towel before placing the machine back together.

Easy Maintenance

Our testers appreciate the convenience of an easy-to-use one-cup coffee maker, even though a pour-over could be the best option for the flavor. So, when testing single-serve brewers, we focused on the ease of daily maintenance--including how easy it was to refill the water reservoir, how simple it was to dump spent grounds or pods, and whether the instructions for descaling were clear and easy to follow.

We also considered the amount of waste each model produced regardless of whether it was in the form of disposable coffee cups or a filter that can be reused and how often the brewer needed to be descaled. We also evaluated the ease of descale the machine at home by using an answer that is typically a mixture of vinegar and warm soapy water.

This little beauty from Sboly is an excellent value for price. It offers a number of useful features. It lets you select between pods and grounds, can brew either an 8 or 14-ounce cup, and is compact enough to tuck away in cabinets.

We recommend the Ninja CM407 because of its extraordinary performance. It produced the most hot cup of joe during our tests, and has several brewing options that let you choose between a single serving or a complete carafe. Plus, it's compact and user-friendly.
