For coffee lovers, having that first morning cup in minutes is a valuable feature of any brewing machine. Keurig makes a variety of models, designed for providing instant coffee in single servings.
The way these brands work is by using k-cups or coffee pods, or single serving packets, placed in the top of the machine. Water is added to the reservoir and the brew is ready in a few minutes. The advantages of using this type of machine are endless.
First, the K-cups come in a wide range of brands, brews and flavors. Mixed packages of different brands or flavors are offered. This is a great feature for couples who have different tastes in flavors or types of brews.
Though the machine only makes one cup at a time, it can allow the user to make many varieties. This is a good idea for giving guests a choice of their favorite brews or brands. It gives the user the ability to try different brews in the same day. An individual may prefer one type of brew in the morning and another later in the day.
The use of instant pods makes clean up simpler. There is no basket or filter to wash out. The pods are enclosed and are simply removed, when the machine is done brewing. The only cleaning the machine may require is the occasional cycle of water or cleaner, especially if your water is prone to deposits or hard water scales.
The machine makes one cup at a time and does it very quickly. A few minutes is faster than the typical ten minutes other devices take, to brew an entire pot. In addition, there is left over coffee from a pot, to be poured down the drain. This makes the device very cost effective. Imagine the money wasted when unused brew gets poured down the drain on a daily basis.
They come in a wide range of styles, shapes and finishes. There are many models with a stainless steel finish, for the modern kitchen. Others come in a black finish or a combination of black with steel trim. They are typically well made and dependable for daily use.
