Nothing is better then a piping hot cup of coffee in the morning to help wake you up and get you ready for the day’s events. The biggest problem with this has always been the chance of having to deal with less then satisfactory coffee as a result of it going stale, getting burned or just plainly being too weak. These and more are the reasons why so many people already have begun to make use of the single serving coffee makers.

Sure at first one was limited with regards to the choices of blends and brands. Much has changed since these nifty little machines were first introduced including that of the pods becoming a widely accepted design. Today many of the big names and even some of the not so well known brands of coffee come in the pod form necessary for use in the single cup coffee machines.

If you are a fan of Krups coffee makers and have been searching for Krups coffee pods, then you are most definitely in luck because they now come in pod form so that you can enjoy every last drop from your single cup coffee maker.

They are very easy to use and even are known to be more cost effective then the traditional pot brewing machines. In order to use one, simply place the Krups coffee pods in the tray, add 8 ounces of water and turn it on. In no time at all you will have a piping hot cup waiting for you to enjoy. The use of the pods means that the water in the brewing process will be distributed more evenly which results in a better tasting cup every single time. Once finished, dispose of the pod and wipe the machine down. There is no burned or stale coffee in the pot to be thrown out which will save you money in the long run.

Now that is rare indeed! Previously, we wrote a bit of an overview on Nespresso Coffee makers. But we thought the brand deserved a little more indepth of a look.

Nespresso makes some of the very best one cup espresso machines on the market, if not THE best out there. From their $800 Romeo that makes an incredible cup of espresso or coffee to the much more affordable Essenza C100. The C100 replaced the older C90 in their linup with a few new features like programmable cup size and auto on and off. No more overflowing your cups because you forget to turn the machine off.

Nobody will even guess you are compensating for something...

The Essenza espresso machine is about as simple as it gets. There are only two real buttons: On/Off and Start/Stop. You turn the machine on and let it warm up a couple minutes, insert in your espresso or lungo capsule, you pull the lever down to set it in place, and you push start. It will brew you a shot of espresso, or a longer lungo if that's what you enjoy. The crema on top is thick and near perfect, and the quality is pretty darn high. While I'm sure you could argue that you could make a better cup of espresso the more traditional way, it's hard to beat the combination of convenience and quality that Essenze 100T machines bring to the table. And with espresso so good, nobody will even think that you are trying to impress them to compensate for something...

nespresso-swarovskiThat being said, we're not very impressed with their Crystal Courture version with Swarovski crystals bedazzeling this machine into a $1000 disgrace to coffee makers everywhere. If you are Paris Hilton or some teen pop diva then perhaps you might be seen in public with such a machine, but for all the rest of those who purchased one of the only 100 produced... shame on you. Thankfully most of these are just showpieces in Nespresso boutiques and shops around the country and have not yet made it into the hands of the rich and tasteless.

All in all though, this machine is quite impressive. The selection of espressos and lungo capsules avaiable is very high in quality and you will have a hard time picking a favorite. If espresso is what gets you going in the morning, and you don't have the time or motivation to brew a traditional cup, or you just like the thought of having a sweet little device that does all the work for you, the Nespresso C100T espresso maker is the device for you.

The French press coffee has certainly found a lot of mechanized competitors in the past, but it manages to remain in a class all its own.

One of the strengths of having a French press coffee maker is that it takes up less space than a coffee machine and makes a killer cup of coffee that many consider superior to drip coffee. Coarse coffee beans can be placed inside the plunger and pressed, letting the coffee flavor mix with the hot water. It’s a simple device, a pot with a plunger, and it’s one of the simplest ways to get freshly-brewed coffee. Depending on how much coffee you put in, how long you let it steep, and how hot the water is you can vary how your coffee turns out so that it comes out just the way you want it. We are big fans of the one cup french press travel mugs that come with a plunger and insulated mug all in one. All you do is put in the grounds and hot water and press the filter down and you've got a perfect cup of french press coffee on the go!

French Press Coffee Makers

Another reason why French press coffee is still a favorite for many coffee fanatics is because it’s economical. While more people are looking for their coffee calling in highly complicated espresso machines that can produce brewed coffee, latte, hot tea, and chocolate, french press coffee lets you enjoy your coffee without complicating the matter. They’re simple enough that you can even bring your French press coffee maker with you, so you can enjoy freshly-brewed coffee whenever and wherever you want, all that you need is hot water.

We do recommend you buy a high quality french press, one that is stainless steel instead of aluminum so that it will last for a long time. The nicer ones also tend to filter out the grounds better and produce a better cup of coffee. While the whole world may have benefited with the technological age, sometimes it's the simple things in life that bring you the most pleasure and a good french press coffee maker is one of them.

Then look no further than Nespresso coffee makers. The most popular of the Nespresso products would be the Essenza Touch Single Serve Coffee and Espresso maker.

Aesthetically, this Nespresso coffee maker is sophisticated and sleek looking which is something that would definitely capture your eye. In fact, some people would even say that the coating of the machine itself is quite similar to the feel of an iPod or silicone coating. It comes in so many different shiny colors as well, truly this espresso machine is as much an ornament or decoration as it is a coffee maker.

There are Nespresso cafes but there are times wherein you simply want to stay in and enjoy coffee at home. The Nespresso coffee maker would enable you to do that.

They make a good cup of coffee, japanese tea, or other hot beverage fast and delicious every time. As with every one cup coffee maker, it has its strengths and weaknesses, but Senseo has many fans, and they have a great selection of coffee pods to brew your coffee from.

You can't beat the mixture of speed and convenience and quality that the Senseo and other single serve coffee makers provide. Senseo coffee pods offer a great variety and a decent quality of coffee or tea. There's a few tricks though to brew the perfect single serve coffee from your Senseo, and you might find that your coffee tastes much better if you follow them.

Senseo Coffee Pods


First of all use purified water or bottled water. If your water is good, then your coffee or tea will be good. The water you fill the reservoir with makes a big difference. Don't over fill the reservoir though as that could cause damage. Also be sure you don't reuse a coffee pod. Would you reuse your old coffee grounds on a regular coffee maker? Ok... don't answer that. You shouldn't, and that's that. Be sure you keep your coffee machine clean and run a brewing cycle without a coffee pod in the machine from time to time to clean out the pipes.

Senseo has a signature crema layer that they add to make your latte a little extra special. If you want milk or cream, add it before so that you preserve the crema on top. Also, this helps keep your coffee hotter for longer, as does running the brewing cycle once without a pod into your cup to heat your mug up. Finally, we have heard that if you get your coffee pod a little wet before you put it in the machine it provides a better seal and enhances the extraction process so that you get more richness out of your coffee.

Senseo has some great coffee pods to choose from. Experiment and find your favorite flavors, even mix and match, you never know what you will come up with! Our favorite is to mix a hot chocolate with a nice strong dark coffee- it makes a Mocha that any Starbucks barista would be jealous of!

If you live alone or live with a bunch of people with different coffee preferences, it would be quite wasteful to have to make a whole pot of coffee when you only need a cup leaving the rest to go to waste. Luckily, Keurig, one of the most popular manufacturers of single cup coffee makers has a solution to that. They have a whole range of single cup coffee products that would suffice any coffee lover’s craving whilst making sure that the machines themselves are efficient and energy saving.

Best part is the fact that since it’s rather small in size, you can easily move it around and even bring it with you during your travels. Definitely a great bonus, if you’d ask me. Nothing beats getting preparing a fresh cup of coffee for yourself every morning wherever in the world you may be. The Keurig B60 coffee maker makes all of that possible.

There are plenty of other one cup coffee machine brands out there but what makes Keurig so popular is the fact that they have packed great features into the design of their machines. You’d start to wonder how something so small could be so amazing and efficient to use. The speed is the most exciting part actually.

A K-Cup is basically a single serve packet of coffee which is used with a single cup coffee machine made by Keurig. Inside the packet, you’ll find ground coffee together with a filter and everything is sealed in with a foil lid. Now, when you place a K-Cup inside a coffee machine, the lid would be punctured and hot water would then be poured into the cup. This would pretty much brew the coffee directly into your mug. But K-Cups aren’t just limited to having coffee inside of them. There are manufacturers that have created K-Cups which contain cocoa and tea giving consumers plenty the option to choose. Why do people like using K-Cup’s? Well, for starters, it’s quite impossible to make a bad cup of coffee with it since everything is measured to a tee.

K-Cups also make the process of making coffee faster and easier. There’s no room for mess because it is unlikely to happen when you use a K-Cup. Brewing coffee from a K-Cup only takes a couple of minutes and some Keurig machines can actually brew you a fresh cup of coffee in less than a minute! Now, that’s what I call fast! Gone are the days of having to wait ten minutes for a cup of coffee and gone are the days of tedious measuring and making a mess just to get the perfect brew.

These cups are airtight which makes sure that you get fresh coffee each and every time. You don’t have to purchase filters because the cups already have their own and there isn’t a need to clean anything. No fuss, no muss. Using K-Cups would definitely save you money and energy since your brewing time is significantly reduced. There's plenty of variety for you to choose from since Green mountain coffee provides many different kinds of brews and roasts. All you need to do is pop a K-Cup into one of Keurig’s machines, wait for your coffee to finish brewing then simply throw the used K-Cup in the trash. It’s that easy.
