One-Cup Coffee Makers Reviews: Best One-Cup Coffee Makers

Budget one-cup pod coffee maker

While experts say that coffee brewed in the pod-type Senseo HD7810 is light-bodied and short on flavor, most owners are perfectly happy with it. They say that what it lacks in coffee quality it makes up for in speed and… simplicity. Reviews say that the HD7810, which brews one four-ounce cup per pod, is a good choice for singles or couples who drink one or two cups of coffee per day. To brew a larger cup, you'll need to use two pods, which significantly increases the cost per serving. Due to the placement of its spout, the HD7810 can't accommodate a mug larger than eight ounces.

Best pod coffee maker overall

Keurig B60

*Est. $150 Compare Prices

The sleek, easy-to-use Keurig B60 costs more than the Senseo HD7810, but it's more solidly built and can brew up to 9.25 ounces from a single pre-packaged container of grounds, or K-Cup. The B60 also offers adjustable… brewing temperatures, but reviews say that Keurig's real strength lies in the quality and variety of its coffees. Owners say that with over 100 available from Timothy's, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters and others, it's easy to find a coffee that suits your tastes.

Manual one-cup coffee maker

Aerobie AeroPress

*Est. $30 Compare Prices

The AeroPress consists of a plastic tube, plunger and paper filter, and you manually pour hot water through the device. Although it's not as convenient as a standard or pod coffee maker, the AeroPress is simple to use and… brings out the best in coffee, according to owners and experts. The coffee is said to be exceptionally smooth, full of flavor and nearly sediment-free. Although it's advertised as an espresso maker, the AeroPress makes concentrated drip coffee, not espresso.
