Let’s face it – most of us need some sort of boost in the morning to get going. Coffee is not necessarily healthy, but it’s better than energy drinks and shots. If you drink coffee regularly, investing in a brewer is a very good idea. When you buy coffee at shops, it’s very expensive, and can really start to add up over time. Many people spend hundreds of dollars each month just on their morning coffee. People justify it by saying things like “I live alone, buying a coffee maker is a waste of money”. Well, that may be true, if you’re talking about a traditional brewer, but personal coffee makers are available too. Personal coffee makers usually brew a single cup, and they do it in very little time, usually 30-60 seconds.
There are many advantages to personal coffee makers. First of all, they’re cheap. You can get a very nice personal coffee maker for around $30-$60 – less than some people spend on coffee in a single week. Secondly, they’re easy to use and work very quickly, so you can be out the door and ready to face your day in a matter of minutes. Lastly, they help you save money and conserve coffee because they only brew 1 or 2 cups, so there’s no coffee wasted.
There are several different kinds of personal coffee makers. The most popular kinds use small teabag-like cartridges often called coffee pods. These are very cheap, and are the perfect amount of coffee for 1 or 2 cups. They brew rich, frothy coffee in a matter of seconds, and taste delicious. Other personal coffee makers use ground coffee like a traditional coffee brewer would. These ones usually require paper filters, which add a bit to the overall cost of the brewer, but are still pretty affordable.
