Single Cup Coffee Makers

Single-serve coffee machines have revolutionized way Americans enjoy their morning brew. Mintel, a market research firm forecasts that by the year 2018 consumers will spend about as much on coffee pods as they spend on bulk coffee.

Here are some of the top choices for making delicious single serving french press-cup coffee.

Pour Over

Pour over is the method of making coffee by pouring water by hand over the ground beans. The brew then flows through the grounds and into your carafe or mug. It's also known as "filter coffee" or "hand brew." The pour over technique has become popular in recent years because it allows you to regulate the temperature, speed and quantity of water poured over the grounds. The result is a rich and nuanced cup of coffee.

This method is great for single origin coffees because it lets out all the complex flavors and aromas. It's also less acidic than drip brew, which is great for those who have sensitive stomachs. It's also an excellent way to start your day with a relaxing routine that allows you to focus on the present.

Pour over requires a constant flow of hot, uniformly heated water that is able to penetrate the coffee grounds at the correct speed and with the right amount of consistency. For this reason, many coffee enthusiasts prefer a gooseneck kettle that can help control the flow of water. Pouring water at a consistent speed is vital, because when you pour water too fast or slow the water won't be able absorb all the coffee oils and smells.

The grind size of your coffee is another factor that will affect the pour over. You must aim for a fineness just a little bit finer than sand on your local beach. Making use of a grinder that has an option that creates this kind of grind can significantly improve your brew.

Another downside of pour over is that it requires more time to prepare than drip making. Depending on the gadget you'll need to boil the water, place it in the filter and constantly pour it over the grounds for several minutes. This can be difficult for those who don't have a lot of time to spare in the morning. Pour over enthusiasts find that the effort is worth it for the flavor of their drink that they are proud to offer to their family and friends. If you decide to try pouring over, we recommend beginning with a small amount of coffee to improve your technique before you attempt an even larger batch.

Chemex

Chemex is a Chemex is a pour-over system that is elegant and simple. It's an insulated glass flask that is fitted with a an wooden collar and brews coffee manually, without electricity. The resultant coffee is smooth and clean especially enjoyable with medium or light roasts. Invented by chemist Peter Schlumbohm in 1941, the Chemex quickly gained acclaim due to its sleek design and stunning clarity of flavor. Although it might seem difficult to use, the process of brewing with a Chemex is actually fairly straightforward.

Start by putting a new filter in your Chemex with the three layers facing the spout. Wet the filter with a small amount of brew-temperature water to warm the cup and eliminate any taste of paper before adding your ground.

Then, measure out 55 grams of roasted beans. Set them aside. Put the beans into your filter and gently press down with your finger. This will ensure that your grounds are evenly spread out. If you're using a scale, eliminate the scale and set your timer on for five minutes.

Pour the hot water slowly over the ground. We used temperatures of 205 degrees Fahrenheit. This is known as the "bloom." It takes approximately 45 minutes for the hot water to soak into the ground and release gas trapped in the. This expansion causes the coffee to expand, resulting in rainbow-colored bubbles.

Once your bloom is complete, begin pouring in a circular motion until the slurry of coffee is about halfway up the Chemex. It may take a few pours to get the level right, so be patient.

If your coffee is clogging the filter, it's likely that you're grinding it too finely. You can speed up the process of brewing by using a coarser setting in your burr grinder.

After a few moments, stir the coffee and let it drain. When the slurry is finished then remove the filter and enjoy a delicious mug of freshly brewed single-serve coffee. The entire process of brewing six ounces of Chemex coffee should clock in around four minutes. This makes it a great option for busy days when you need an efficient reliable cup of coffee.

The brewer is constructed of medical-grade BPA-free plastic and includes an opaque cylinder with the filter cap, which is fixed to the outside of the chamber and a plunger that appears like an syringe, and an upside-down coffee cup.

On the other hand, metal filters give you a stronger flavor that resembles espresso. The brewer can also work with various roasts, and the AeroPress lets the flavors come through clearly.

Keurig

Keurig coffee machines are incredibly popular because of their K-Cups and their hassle-free preparation and a low upfront cost. The machines aren't the most robust and are not of the highest quality. Some customers complain about the taste of plastic in their coffee, while some say that their Keurig machines tend to break down.

Founded in 1992, Vermont-based Keurig Green Mountain (KGM) is the manufacturer of single serve espresso machine-serve brewers and K-Cups. The company offers a variety of cold and hot beverage pods, such as coffee, tea, cocoa, and iced beverages.

Keurig's promise to make its K-Cups recyclable by 2020 is a positive step, but many of these coffee capsules end up in landfills and in the ocean. This is due to the fact that recycling plastics operates on a buyer's marketplace and only the most valuable materials are recycled, like polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and high-density polymers (HDPE), and polypropylene.

In addition to the well-known K-Cups The company has also introduced a line of single-serve cold and hot teas dubbed Keurig Kollection. The teas offered by the company come in a variety of flavors, and are prepared in the same way as the regular K-Cup.
