One cup coffee makers - also known as single serve coffee makers - promise to give you a fresh, hot cup of coffee whenever you want with hardly any mess to clean up - one cup at a time.

If you want a nice cup of coffee, but don't have the time to brew an entire pot, or simply don't want more than a cup, then a one cup coffee maker might be just "the" thing for you.The coffee maker industry has been earning nice profits from a very inventive kitchen helper, the single serve coffee maker. It is a great choice for everyone to enjoy. Many people buy it mainly because it's convenient to use, saves kitchen counter space and is cost and time efficient.

Due to their popularity, consumers are offered various selections of high quality coffee maker brands and many coffee flavors as single serve brewing systems. From start to finish, you can brew a gourmet cup of coffee or even tea in less than a minute. Now the wait for that first hot sip of java is less than it has ever been before.

Although you are offered many brands and models of these one cup brewers, made by well-known coffee maker companies, there should be some sort of guide for choosing the best maker to optimize its wonderful capacities to your advantage.

To start, here is a small sample of single serve coffee maker brands and what they offer:

1. Keurig B40 - offers a gourmet coffee brewing system through no-mess K-Cup Portion Pack, which is an exact mix of a specific coffee flavor. Choose from over 100 different K-Cup custom blends.

2. Tassimo - offers the T DISC system that uses barcodes to tell the Tassimo machine what to blend. Choose from eleven commercial coffee brands like Maxwell House and Seattle's Best.

3. Philips Senseo - a pod style brewing system. Choose from six Moccona Senseo ground coffee roasts in pods.

4. Melitta - offers electric and non-electric or manual dripping system. Choose from a variety of Whole Bean, Melitta Premium, Estate Coffees, Organic Coffees, Dessert Collection and coffee pods.

Note that most of these brands' machines also brew tea and cocoa, hot or cold. But before buying one, you should consider the following:

1. Carefully decide which brand and system suits your budget and style. Some of these cost a little under $100 and some more than double that amount. The coffee machines are in trendy and compact designs.

2. Shop online. Most single serve coffee makers have websites that provide company and products virtual tours. Most of the websites provide retailer listings, coffee clubs, recipes and brewing tips.

3. Choose the brand that offers a wide variety of coffee, tea and cocoa blends to maximize your gourmet coffee experience.

There are two types of one cup coffee makers other than the pod type. A manual version requires you to measure your coffee grinds and pour them into a paper filter. You will need to heat your own water for this type of maker. The automated drip coffee maker is similar to the manual maker but you will only need to flip a switch or press a button and the machine will heat your water and start the drip automatically.

No matter what type of one cup coffee maker you prefer at least look for a unit that has an automated shut off switch. Some other excellent brands to check into are Black and Decker Brew ‘N Go, Keurig Special Edition B60, Nespresso D290 and Senseo HD7810. There is a wide price range from about twenty dollars to more than three hundred dollars and the features that are most important to you will obviously determine the cost.

For whatever reason you are buying your personal coffee maker, a single serve machine is a great option for getting an exquisite dose of your beloved caffeine whenever you want it.
