Single Cup Coffee Makers

Espresso machines

Instead of making an entire pot of coffee in one go, single cup coffee makers make a single cup at a time. What is more, the guesswork is taken out of how much coffee grounds to spoon in and how much water to add, as these machines are pod based with the coffee pre-measured and the machine programmed to adjust it's brewing process to suit the type of coffee being brewed.

Here are some of the most popular single cup coffee makers:

The Bosch Tassimo TAS4511UC. This is a single serve brewer that can make tea, hot chocolate, and a variety of coffees such as cappuccinos and lattes.

It is based on a "T-disc" system" where you insert a T-disc containing the type of coffee you want (T-discs come in over 40 different brands) and the machine reads the barcode and decides on the brewing process - the exact temperature to heat the water, the amount of water to add and so on. This is the quietest of the single serve coffee makers.

You get a perfect cup of coffee in a matter of minutes. Amazon are selling this for $139.99 with free shipping. Click here to buy.

The Keurig B40 single cup coffee maker. This is a single cup coffee maker based on Keurig's "K-cup" process. Pressurised water is forced into the K-cups to make your desired cup fo tea, coffee or chocolate. K-cups come in larger varieties than T-discs, but the coffee is not quite a good and the machine noisier. However, the coffee made is still coffee-bar standard, and this machine is cheaper than the Tassimo.
