Single Cup Coffee Makers - A Top Five Review

!±8± Single Cup Coffee Makers - A Top Five Review

There's quite a few single cup coffee makers to choose from these days, but some separate themselves from the pack. I have reviewed twelve of the best single cup brewers on the market and this is my top five.
After reading this article I will tell you where to find them at the lowest prices!

My Top Five Single Cup Coffee Makers:

Keurig B70
Definitely one of the best I have reviewed because of its many features and affordability!

What makes single cup makers so great is you can change the flavor with each cup. Now that is what I call convenient! If you want French Vanilla and your spouse or roommate wants a Breakfast Blend, no problem.
This Keurig maker can also be customized for five different cup sizes, adjustable temperature, auto turn off, 60 ounce water reservoir (about ten cups), energy efficient, and most parts are dishwasher safe.

Keurig B60
Another great brewer from Keurig and this one won't disappoint either. This one does not carry as many features as the B70 model, but you may not need all the bells and whistles.

An additional feature of single cup coffee makers is the ease of cleanup. All you have to do is put the "pod" in the maker to brew and after brewing throw the pod away. It is that easy! No pot, no coffee grounds, no coffee filter.

Features of this particular unit include 48 ounce reservoir, three cup sizes, temperature adjustment, and on/off feature.
For a one or two person households this one could be the perfect option for you.

Cuisinart SS-700
This unit offers many of the same features the Keurig B70 has and is one of the top sellers on Amazon.

A third feature of these type coffee makers is a faster brewing process. Unlike traditional makers, which take about ten minutes to brew, the single makers brew in roughly two minutes.

This unit features four cup sizes, 48 ounce reservoir, temperature control, option to brew coffee, tea, or hot chocolate, very quiet brewing compared to others.

Tassimo TAS4511UC
The Tassimo TAS4511UC has a neat feature not found on the other units in this review.

This brewer has "TDiscs", with each having a bar code on it. When you put the TDisc in the machine to brew, it reads the bar code and identifies the coffee flavor along with a brew setting to make the perfect cup.
Let's go into another benefit of single cup coffee makers. Do you want the freshest cup possible? Instead of coffee sitting in a pot waiting for you to drink it, these units brew fresh upon request.

Attributes of the Tassimo include 67 ounce removable water tank, auto cleaning option, storage of TDiscs, and flow through water heater for faster brewing process.

Breville BKC700XL
The final maker in this review sure packs a bunch! This beauty is loaded with features and is a great option for any coffee lover.

Before we go into the features of this one let's go over one final attribute of single cup brewers. They have an abundance of coffee varieties to choose from!

Features of the Breville include sixty ounce removable tank, built-in water filter, iced tea setting, temperature adjustment, and shower head spray.

8 Quick Tips For Brewing Better Coffee

!±8± 8 Quick Tips For Brewing Better Coffee

If you are like many Americans, your day doesn't start until you have downed a cup of coffee But getting the perfect brew is not an easy task. If your morning joe leaves a lot to be desired, follow these easy steps to brewing a better cup.

Invest in a Quality Coffee Maker. It all starts with a good coffee machine. If you are a true coffee lover, you will want to invest some money in your brewing equipment. While you do not need to spend hundreds on a professional coffee maker, you will want to read reviews and find the right machine for your budget and your needs. Because more than 50 percent of Americans start their day with coffee the industry has responded with a wide variety of new machines and there are still the old standbys, as well. If you love rich tasting coffee for example, but you don't want to spend a lot, consider a simple French press, which brews delicious coffee and typically costs less than .

Grind your Own Beans. In addition to a coffee brewing machine, you may also want to invest in a bean grinder. Coffee lovers everywhere agree that freshly ground beans make the best tasting coffee.

Buy the Right Beans. Buying a grinder also allows you to experiment with different blends of beans. You can purchase specialty beans from a local micro-roaster. Even if you are just using beans from your local supermarket, you can develop some pretty flavorful combinations with some experimentation. Make sure to store your beans in an airtight container for the best flavor.

Brewing Instructions: Once you have acquired a great coffee maker and a good combination of beans, you'll be ready to make coffee But what truly makes coffee great is the brewing process. No matter what type of coffee machine you use, the follow steps will ensure that you are getting the best coffee that you can.

Start out with a clean coffee maker. The best tasting brew comes from clean equipment. Make sure that your carafe has been cleaned so there are no remnants of the previous morning's coffee and double check that the basket is clear of coffee grounds. Nothing ruins a pot of coffee more than leftover grounds. If you are new to brewing your own coffee start with something mild like an Arabic blend. After you have mastered the art of brewing, you can adjust to find your desired strength of flavor and level of caffeine.

Fill the carafe with fresh, cold water and then fill up the drip reservoir. Make sure to stop just before the reservoir is totally full. Overfilling will not only make a weaker brew, but it could prevent your coffee maker from working properly. Clean up after you pour so there is no excess water on the hotplate or on the machine itself. This will keep your coffee maker working like new for years to come.

Insert one liner (if your coffee machine calls for it) and then use five mounded scoops for ten cups of coffee Adjust your scoops for less cups (one scoop per two cups). You will, of course, adjust the amount of coffee to suit your personal taste as you continue to experiment with your coffee making.

You might also want to try adding a pinch of salt on top of the grounds to cut the bitterness of the coffee Or try adding cinnamon or nutmeg on top of the grounds for a special touch.

Once you have added the water and the grounds, you are ready to brew. Place the carafe under the drip feed and start your machine. To prepare, warm your coffee cups with a rinse under hot water. If you leave the cups cold, the coffee will drop in temperature before you can enjoy it. Gather sweeteners, milk or coffee creamer and you will be ready to enjoy your perfect cup of coffee once it is brewed.

Keurig Platinum B70 Single Cup Coffee Maker - Review

!±8± Keurig Platinum B70 Single Cup Coffee Maker - Review

The B70 Brewer is one of the higher end Keurig home brewers. It has a sleek design in black with platinum trim. The water reservoir and LCD control pad are lit in a calm Caribbean blue. It fits nicely on the counter top and adds a touch of class to any kitchen.

The B70 Brewer comes with easy to follow set-up instructions and is ready to brew in minutes. Although the brewer can be programmed to turn on and off, I prefer to leave mine on so it is ready anytime I want fresh brewed coffee, tea, or cocoa. The brew temperature can also be set to the desired temperature, which you can adjust from between 187 to 192 degrees. The brewer has 5 cup sizes to choose from, depending on choice of beverage, the cup size you are using, and desired brew strength. For example, I enjoy stronger brews, so have my cup size default set for a small mug (7.25 oz) when brewing coffee; however, when brewing hot cocoa I change to the small cup setting, which is 5.25 oz and add about 2 tablespoons of half & half to the bottom of the cup before brewing. It is all a matter of preference and you can select the size with the push of a button. The cup selector also has a memory and automatically returns to the most preferred size; which is selected during set-up. When the K Cup is inserted and the K Cup holder latch is closed, the LCD control pad reads "Ready to Brew", and the selected cup size flashes. If the removable reservoir is low on water, the reservoir light will flash until more water is added - you do not need to remove the reservoir, you can just remove the top and pour in the water. Brewing is as easy as pushing the brew button and your beverage is ready in about 60 seconds. Cleaning of the brewer is easy. The external parts are wiped using a wet cloth. The K cup holder comes apart and is dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. The exit needle located in the K Cup holder may occasionally become clogged with grounds and it is easily cleaned with a paper clip or similar tool. A word of caution when cleaning the K Cup holder; there are two sharp prongs inside so it is recommended you do not put your hands inside the k Cup holder. Using the Keurig B70 Brewer, I have found that it brews a perfect cup of coffee and allows you to choose your favorite blend for the perfect cup every time. It is easy to use and you can have your freshly brewed beverage in a minute of less. The only con I have experienced is occasionally, the brewer will not dispense the correct amount of water (usually less). In the 6 months that I have owned the brewer, this happens about every 15 to 20 brews. Once it was because the needle was clogged with grounds, and another time it seemed like it just didn't pump enough water. Although this is an annoyance and the waste of a k-cup, the brewer is still worth every cent!

There are a wide variety of K Cups available to choose from. Rather your preference is coffee, tea, or cocoa you will be able to purchase your favorite brew from many sources. The more common K Cup flavors are available in grocery and department stores. For a wider selection, you can visit the many online stores to get great buys and they usually offer free shipping for orders of .00 or more. For the best discounts I have found visit http://www.ebates.com/rf.do?referrerid=CtOg6%2BBLwx03Gr9W6W7k3g%3D%3D, you can even purchase your brewer from this site and reap the discounts offered as well as get money back in rewards. Sign up for a free membership, type "coffee for less" in the search stores or coupons box and press enter. You will see a selection of online stores where you can receive rebates from 2.5 to 5% on your coffee purchase and get free shipping. In summary, the Keurig brewing system, rather you purchase the B70 or a less expensive model, is in my opinion, the best choice in a coffee maker. I have grown to absolutely love my Keurig! I want to take it everywhere, and fully intend to purchase the Mini Plus Brewing System for work and vacations. Even coffee house coffee can not compare to the taste of my Keurig!
