These sleek machines make great gifts for the coffee lover in your life.Whether you like using pods or grounds there's a great single-cup brewer available for you. Find out which Coffeee scored highly in our tests of function, durability, the ease of use, and aesthetics.User-FriendlinessIf you only drink one cup of coffee each day, a single-cup coffee maker is the best choice for you. It lets you make coffee quickly and efficiently. They are also perfect for a dorm or office because they require less space than a large size drip machine, and there is no requirement to refill the water reservoir.The coffee makers are made with single-serve pods or coffee ground. These coffee makers also have an option to "brew over Ice", which is perfect to make cold brew. Some single-cup coffeemakers may be used with loose leaf tea which is ideal for those who like the taste of rooibos or herbal teas.There are a variety of one-cup coffee makers available on the market, so you'll have to choose which features are important to you. You may want to get a larger reservoir to decrease the number of times you need to refill it. Some water reservoirs are removable that are easy to carry to the sink, while others don't have a water tank at all and require you to fill it with your own water.A few of our top picks also come with an extremely fast brewing time that can save you some valuable morning minutes. Some also include a thermal carafe that keeps your coffee warm for a few hours after the brew cycle has ended this can be an added convenience when you want your coffee to last a long time.You'll have to decide if you prefer the convenience and ease of K-Cups, or if you prefer to grind coffee beans using a filter. If you're in the latter category you should consider the Ninja CM407 or other options like the Nespresso Essenza Mini. Or, you could choose an AeroPress If you like the flavor of espresso made at home but don't want the additional work required by traditional drip coffee makers. It's important to consider the number of people who will be drinking the coffee. A single-cup coffee maker isn't the best choice for families of three or more that all drink coffee at the same time. This is because you'll probably end up with leftovers that are destined to be thrown away.Ease of CleaningWhile a single cup coffee maker might seem like a time-saving solution for those traveling but it's essential to keep this workhorse clean. It's because, without proper care and maintenance gunk can build up in the carafe of the machine or basket, giving off an unpleasant taste. And if left unclean for too long, the reservoir could harbor mold and yeast according to a 2011 study conducted by NSF International. Although these nasties won't have a serious impact on your health, it is nonetheless a bit unsettling to awake with the smell of coffee that is sour. A regular cleaning routine can restore your coffee maker back to its original splendor.A simple clean with the one item that you've got in your kitchen cupboards--white vinegar--can be a game changer in getting rid of the build-up and hard water deposits that can cause your coffee maker to stop working properly. We recommend de-scaling your machine at least once a month (or every three months) following the same procedure you'd use to make your coffee.Begin by emptying the water bottle. Then using a soft, warm soapy cloth, wipe down the lid and mug as well as the brewing basket. Pour equal parts of white vinegar and water into the reservoir. Then brew the mixture just like you would with a normal pot of coffee. Allow the mixture to rest for about 45 minutes, which will allow the vinegar to dissolve the calcium deposits inside the machine's water reservoir as well as basket.Once the 45-minute period has passed and the solution is poured out, pour it out and run several brewing cycles using clean water to wash off any remaining residue. If you don't have vinegar on hand, a mix of baking soda and water can be used, but make sure there aren't any seeds, pulp, or rind in the liquid.If your Keurig is showing signs of a more extensive build-up, it is possible to clean it using the same procedure as mentioned earlier by disassembling the machine until it reaches a point where you can wash each piece individually in warm, soapy water. Then, rinse the entire thing and dry it before returning it to its original form.Ease of MaintenanceWhile a traditional pour-over might provide the best flavor Our testers are happy with an easy, simple single-serve coffee maker for busy working days. So, when testing single-serve brewers, we focused on the ease of daily maintenance--including how easy it was to refill the water reservoir, how simple it was to dump spent grounds or pods, and whether the instructions for descaling were clear and easy to follow.We also took into account the amount of waste each model generated regardless of whether it was in the form of disposable coffee cups or a reusable filter and how often the brewer needed to be descaled. We also evaluated how easy it was to remove the scale from the machine at home by using a solution that is usually a mixture of vinegar and soapy warm water.While a bare-bones, entry-level single-serve coffee maker might not be the most durable or visually pleasing of our picks however, this tiny beauty from Sboly has a plethora of features that are smart for its price. You can select between grounds and pods and it can make 8 or 14 ounces. It is small enough to fit into a cupboard.The ease of gift givingThere are many ideas for gifts for coffee lovers.
