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

Best budget one-cup coffee maker

The Black & Decker Brew 'N Go automatic-drip coffee maker brews a 15-ounce cup of coffee into its included thermal mug. It's inexpensive and takes regular ground coffee, as opposed to pod coffee makers that typically… require pricier premeasured coffee containers. One professional reviewer says the Brew 'N Go brews a nice cup of coffee at 195 degrees Fahrenheit and is simple to operate. Owners also appreciate this machine's reusable filter and included thermal travel mug. Overall, we were pressed to find poor reviews for this simple machine, especially considering its low price.

Keurig Special Edition B60

*Est. $130 Compare Prices

Reviewers say the solidly built Keurig Special Edition B60 can brew up to 9.25 ounces from a single prepackaged container (called a K-cup) of grounds. This pod coffee maker offers some advantages over less expensive… models, such as adjustable brewing sizes and temperature, automatic on/off programming and a removable 48-ounce water reservoir. Some reviewers say Keurig's real strength lies in the quality and quantity of its beverage offerings. Consumers can choose from more than 200 varieties of coffee, hot cocoa and tea. Owners say the Keurig is easy to use and clean; however, some complain the coffee is too weak when brewed in larger serving sizes.

Aerobie AeroPress

*Est. $25 Compare Prices

Although it's not programmable like many pod coffee makers, reviews agree the Aerobie AeroPress is inexpensive, compact and easy to use. A paper filter and coffee grounds are placed in the plastic tube, which is held over… a cup while hot water is poured and the plunger is pushed down. Owner reviews say the coffee is exceptionally smooth; however, a fair amount of force is required to yield a decent amount of coffee.
