Single cup coffee makers have gained a lot of polarity in the recent years. The reason being, no longer do you need the scoop and a coffee filter in order to prepare a tasteful cup of Joe especially if you are a person that doesn't usually drink a lot of coffee.
There are many single cup coffee makers available on the market today and if you are considering to buy one then think of the following benefits before doing so:
Coffee Makers Single Cup
With a single cup coffee maker you don't need to brew coffee by the carafe, drink a cup and throw the rest of the pot down the drain. Coffee tastes nicest when prepared fresh and turns stale and bitter very quickly when you keep it on the burner for an indefinite period of time.
Of course, you don't need to buy a very expensive single cup coffee maker if your budget is somehow limited. It's also still possible to buy coffee cones and run boiling water through one in order to prepare a cup of coffee but as you understand this way of making coffee is not for everyone and can be dismissed by a lot of people due to the inconvenience and primitiveness of this method.
The best way to go is to purchase a single cup coffee maker that will suit your budget and will serve your needs.
Let's first have a look at the Senseo single cup coffee maker by Philips. These are relatively inexpensive, they can be obtained for as little as and can be a great alternative to the more pricey ones. Senseo uses pods that can be obtained through most food supply stores. When you switch on the power button the Senseo single cup coffee maker preheats water in its system by 205 degrees making it ready to brew you a consistent and frothy cup of coffee. Through the built-up pressure in the sower-head the heated water is evenly distributed over the coffee pod. Coffee escapes into a specially designed frothing chamber where it is lightly aerated to get that frothy coffee effect.
There are other alternatives to Senseo. Nespresso is a much more luxury yet significantly more expensive single cup coffee making solution. Nespressos are great and have all the bells and whistles to them but the downside to these single cup coffee makers is that the coffee capsules that these machines use are on average per cap. Due to the exclusivity policy by Nespresso the company doesn't allow to purchase coffee capsules through other sources than themselves. This policy limits the coffee flavours produced by the company.
The third and in my opinion the most powerful single cup coffee maker is Breville BKC700XL. Owning a Breville BKC700XL can change your life forever because Breville is one of those brands that has managed to utilize a sophisticated coffee brewing technology with good design and a simplicity of use.
Breville was established back in 1932 by a bunch of Australian entrepreneurs. Over the years Breville has evolved into an iconic brand. Their coffee machines are among the most durable on the market.
Breville BKC700XL is a fully programmable single cup coffee maker that utilizes the famous Keurig Kcup technology. Kcups are little containers filled with ground coffee in different flavours made by a range of various coffee brands. The whole brewing process happens inside the Kcup. Breville BKC700XL uses a combination of high water temperature and pressure. The shower-head punches holes on the top and bottom sides of the Kcup in order to pass boiling water through the cup therefore retaining the flavour of the coffee intact. Kcups can be obtained from many food suppliers both online and in physical stores.
