One
cup coffee makers are a good option if you’re the only coffee drinker in your home.
Freshly brewed coffee should be served within twenty minutes of brewing
for best results. If you won’t be drinking the coffee in this
time frame, it can become bitter or burnt tasting. This ruins the flavour
for most coffee fans. For single servings, one cup coffee makers are
the best way to get a great cup of java.
One cup coffee maker can be used with either canned or freshly
ground coffee beans. Most come with a built in, reusable coffee filter
which eliminates the need for paper filters. Since most people think
reusable filters result in better flavour and aroma, this is another
benefit of the one cup models. The coffee is placed in the filter
and the water in a separate chamber. Look for a model with this feature,
as small filters are very difficult to find.
One shot coffee makers are available for espresso too
Some one shot coffee makers can be used for hot tea as well. To
brew tea in a one cup coffee brewer, you have two options. You can
heat the water in the machine and put the tea bag in the cup, as
you would normally do when making tea. Another option is to put the
tea bag in the filter and run the water through as you would when
brewing coffee.
Single serving machines are available for espresso lovers too. These
espresso machines are made in either stainless steel or aluminium
models. Aluminium is less expensive, but health risks are associated
with cooking food in aluminium containers. For this reason, stainless
steel models are worth the extra money. Single serving espresso machines
are heated on your kitchen stove and are small and lightweight enough
for travel. You can enjoy your morning espresso anywhere with these
machines.
Single cup coffee machines work faster than standard coffee machines.
Most brew a cup in under a minute and many do the job in thirty seconds.
Just about any mug can be used to catch the coffee, so your favourite
mug can be used. Some come with a travel mug, allowing you to brew
a cup for the road.
