Published: March 13, 2007
According to the National Coffee Association, approximately fifty-two percent of adult Americans drink coffee on a regular basis. Additionally, the United States is the leading consumer of coffee worldwide, consuming about 400 million cups of coffee per day.
For the millions of Americans who drink coffee, there are number of options from at-home coffee makers to buying it a restaurant or gas station. Some people prefer quick instant coffee, others choose coffee brewers or coffee pots. For the people who are the only person in their family who like coffee, they choose to use a one cup coffee maker or a single cup coffee maker.
For people who don't drink much coffee, or for the only person in the household to drink coffee, one cup coffee makers are the way to go. One cup coffee makers are perfect for people who travel or who only want one cup. They are convenient and come with both a coffee cup and a reusable filter. One cup coffee makers are easy to program, so the drinker decides the temperature and strength of the coffee, and the already-measured coffee is brewed right into the cup. One cup coffee makers make just the right amount of coffee, so no precious coffee sits in the coffee pot, growing cold and bitter.
The price range of the one cup coffee makers is $15 to $75 , depending on the size, the features, and the quality of the product. The Senseo one cup coffee maker is only $60, and it makes a steaming hot cup of coffee in under 30 seconds at the preferred temperature and style. The parts are dishwasher safe, and it comes with coffee pods, both medium and mild roasts. The Black and Decker single serve is another one cup coffee maker that is only $50, allows the drinker to choose how much coffee they want - 7oz., 9 oz., or 14 oz., and it's easy to clean. It also makes specialty drinks.
Coffee brewers make coffee by mixing coffee grind with water for a longer amount of time. As a result, coffee brewers tend to provide a stronger, less-bitter taste. They also tend to bring out a better flavor than the more common coffee makers. On the other hand, since they brew the coffee longer, they are more difficult to clean. The important part about the coffee brewer is making sure the coffee is strong and hot so it tastes good instead of bitter.
One cup coffee brewers are an excellent choice for the person who wants one cup of good strong coffee on the way out the door. There are varieties of one cup coffee brewers, with prices ranging from $25 to $200. The AeroPress one cup coffee brewer is only $28, and is easily transportable. It's easy to clean up and it makes a great cup of coffee. For $150, Keurig sells a one cup coffee brewer that might not be as easy to clean, but looks classy and is programmable.
And then there's instant coffee. Though instant coffee usually has a bad reputation, it doesn't have to be bad. It has a long shelf life, but is actually dehydrated coffee and tends to be bitter due to its lower-quality coffee bean. On the other hand, there's just one step needed to make instant coffee: add hot water. Some people hate instant coffee, other people prefer it. Not only is instant coffee quick and easy, but it's probably the easiest way to make a one cup coffee.
Whatever the coffee drinker's preference, it's always advisable to experiment in order to discover likes and dislikes. Experiment with the different types of one cup coffee makers and even instant coffee to determine the temperature, the strength, and the style or appliance preferred.
