Single Brew Coffee Machines
This model is a great option if you want a single-serve machine that will prepare tea or coffee according to your preference. It's easy to use, comes with four different brewing configurations and can be used with ground or single-pack tea bags and coffee.
It is also a great option to make reused pods. This is a great solution for those concerned about the waste generated by disposable K-cups.
1. Keurig K-Select
This Keurig makes a great option for those who like coffee but don't have the space to invest in larger brewing machines. It's the smallest Keurig on the market and only takes up 13.6 inches from front to back making it able to be hidden away in a tiny kitchen or office space. It can brew a cup of coffee in less than a minute and has an oversized water tank that can hold 52 ounces. It has the "strong option that increases the strength of the coffee to meet your preferences.
One disadvantage of this machine is that it doesn't produce crema, a caramel-colored layer of foam that people who drink coffee believe gives flavor and depth to their drinks. This isn't an issue for most people, but some might find it a problem. It's simple to clean; just disconnect the machine from its plug and remove the pod holder. It is then cleaned with a cleaner and wiped clean. The needles that are brewing can be cleaned and removed by using a paperclip, which is a helpful feature when your machine is becoming clogged.
The machine can be expensive because it can only work with K-Cup Pods. It does not accept the third-party pods that came on the market in 2012 after the Keurig 2.0 Patent expired. If you are seeking a machine that can brew with various sizes or has a carafe, you may have to look at a different model.
The Keurig K-Select is also the easiest to use. It has two buttons: one to turn on the machine and the second to select the cup size. The smart brewer shuts down automatically after two hours to conserve energy. It also has a window on the reservoir of water that shows when it is time to refill.
