Single Cup Coffee Makers – What Amounts Do They Really Make?

Single serve and one cup coffee makers vary greatly when you look at pod
brewing systems. Some pod makers will make as much as a mug full, 8 ounces, or
two 4 ounce cups at the same time. Another pod maker uses 7 different T discs
with a bar code the maker reads and then brews the product to the exact
specifications for that product. Still another pod maker makes brews hot and
cold beverages with the touch of a button. These machines make the beverage in
amounts of 4 to 12 ounces for a travel mug depending on the operator’s choice.
Some brewing systems are programmable and even include hot water after a brew
is made making more to drink available and with an adjustable hot water
temperature. 

Consumer reports offer 4 top single cup coffee makers. One brews coffee in
into a 15 ounce travel
mug by adding water and coffee grounds in a brew filter basket.  The next one brews 200 varieties of coffee at
adjustable temperatures and brews up to 9.25 ounces with a single k cup. The
third is a pod maker brews 1.35 to 3.75 ounces of coffee, tea or hot cocoa all from
k cups. It also has a frothing wand like some espresso machines. The fourth is
inexpensive and easy to use like the first one, but brews coffee quite
differently. Coffee grounds are placed in a filter paper
in a plastic tube, which is held over … a cup
while hot water is poured in to a certain point then a plunger is pushed down
until the amount of coffee wanted is made. This single cup coffee makes from
one to four cups.

Some pour over one cup coffee makers make a varied amount for different
sizes of mugs even when they include an 8 ounce mug. These makers also make
tea, hot chocolate, hot cocoa, instant soups and more. Other pour over coffee
makers make from 4 to 12 ounces of beverage in as little as 45 seconds. One
single serve coffee maker brews 10 ounces every time for variety of sizes of
mugs. Other pour over makers brew a varying one cup through a gold plated
filter that pours directly into your mug.

Personal coffee makers usually have a permanent filter. These makers are
used to make coffee or hot water for a variety of beverages such as tea. In
stark contrast are French press single coffee makers that are usually made for
one serving of coffee. Vacuum pots are considered single serving coffee makers,
but often make up to three cups at a time.
