One cup coffee makers are economically efficient in that it saves you from wasting coffee, money and time. Thus it is a sensible approach in catering for one person who would prefer his or her coffee in a certain way. There are three types of one cup coffee makers that you can choose from. These are as follows:

- “Manuel presses”- these coffee makers require you to pour your measured grinded coffee into the paper filter. They are popularly used by aficionados. However, it is necessary that you preheat the water you are using for the coffee.

- “Automated drip coffee makers”-this type is basically an ‘automated version’ of the latter (manual press). They require less work and you are ensured of getting your desired coffee. This type of coffee maker is used by most businesses and households. Similarly to the manual press, it is necessary that you measure your coffee grinds, after which you are required to pour them into the filter. When this is done, you just flip the start switch and the machine does the rest. One such example is the ‘Toasted once cup coffee maker’.

-“Pod coffee makers”- use a pod so there is no need for filters, bean grinder and coffee carafe. All that is required is the insertion of the pod which allows the coffee machine to heat the water. In a matter of seconds, your hot fresh coffee would be available to you. However, pod coffee makers are very expensive in comparison to manual and automated drip coffee makers.

It is wise that you purchase a coffee maker that has an “automatic shut off switch”. Trust me you do not want a coffee maker that would keep on warming continuously for hours…it can be unsafe and may even cause skin burns when touched.
