Single Serve Coffee Machine Reviews

If you're the sole coffee drinker in the household or prefer a cup of pour-over instead, you can avoid the hassle of brewing in a pot and opt for one-serve machines. These models brew one cup at a go and require less counter space.

It comes with a hot-water button for instant noodles, tea, and more. It's a great option for those looking for a machine that is simple and doesn't need many bells and bells. There are some issues, however. In our tests the machine took longer to heat up and prepare an espresso cup than other machines. Keurig K Select's needles for brewing can also become blocked, which can result in grounds being left in the cup. It is essential to unplug the machine prior to trying to clean them. A paper clip works best.

The K-Select requires 60 seconds to brew one cup of Keurig K-Cup Coffee. The brew temperature is about 192 degrees Fahrenheit. While this is slightly lower than the recommended National Coffee Association temperature for brewing, it's far too hot for our liking. The K-Select is prone to scalding the coffee, especially when you make a strong cup.

This Keurig model comes with a 52-ounce reservoir that allows you to make up to five cups of coffee before needing to be filled. It's the most affordable Keurig we've tested and is perfect for someone new to Keurigs or those who are looking for an easy reliable single-serve brewer. It doesn't have programs, but there's a light that shows that the water tank needs to be empty and if it's time to descale the machine.

The K-Select is available in a variety of colors including matte black and a special color that will be available at select retailers.

For instance, the Nespresso Essenza Mini can make both lungo and espresso (1 ounce and 2 ounces). Other machines can produce different cup sizes, such as 8 12, 10, and 12-ounces, or brew cold and hot drinks.

In our tests the Instant Solo was able to make an easy job of brewing a cup of black coffee that was plain. The tones used to indicate the brewing process are simple and easy to comprehend. It's also easy to know when to refill the reservoir of water. However, we found that the machine could give off a plasticky taste when using K-cups as well as some reusable aftermarket pods.

We also tested Instant's ability to relay status updates using the use of series beeps. The tones that signaled the brewing process were easily heard however the trills that indicated low water or cleaning were more difficult to identify.
