The Best Single Cup Coffee MakerIf you're looking for a simple priority A single-cup coffee maker may be the best option for you.

Cuisinart Grind & BrewThis sleekly designed machine from a reputable manufacturer can grind and brew a single cup or a full pot. It is smaller than other coffee makers that have a grinder. This allows you to use the counter space for other appliances.

The brew temperature was the most unstable of the models we tested. Its brew temperature varied from the first to the fifth brew by almost 5degrees, and it failed to reach the SCAA's 195-degree ideal for great coffee.But it's a small price to pay for the convenience of having a grinder and brewer that can make your mornings more peaceful.
