Coffee Pods And Single Cup Coffee Maker Reviews | One Cup Coffee Titan » One Cup Coffee http://www.onecupcoffeetitan.com Reviewing Single Cup Coffee Makers, Coffee Pods, and more! Mon, 21 Dec 2009 18:15:03 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 en hourly 1 French Press Coffee Makers http://www.onecupcoffeetitan.com/one-cup-coffee/french-press-coffee-makers/ http://www.onecupcoffeetitan.com/one-cup-coffee/french-press-coffee-makers/#comments Thu, 18 Jun 2009 04:33:30 +0000 admin http://www.onecupcoffeetitan.com/?p=128 French Press Coffee MakerWith the rise of all these high tech coffee machines, you’ll find that even the simplest machine can still produce quality results. 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.

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!

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.
