Posted by Gloria Long on June 17th, 2007
Those who only want a cup of coffee now and again, might consider using a one cup coffee machine to avoid waste and save time. They are also great to take with t you when you travel in the event the location at which you are staying does not provide this service.
By making only one cup of coffee in a one cup coffee machine you eliminate the waste of grounds and the brewed coffee if you do not drink more and have to throw it away. It also helps you control your intake of coffee, as only one cup at a time will be available. This can be particularly interesting to someone whose physician has advised him or her to cut back.
Many of the one cup coffee machines on the market today also come with a thermal travel mug into which the coffee is brewed and when the maker is done, the mug can be picked up and taken on the road with you. A one cup coffee machine is also good for those nights when a single cup of coffee is desired with your meal.
Not Limited To Making Coffee
While the name may be a one cup coffee machine, they can also be used for other items where a single cup of hot water is needed. Perhaps someone who does not drink coffee and prefers tea can use a one cup coffee machine to brew their preferred drink. By placing the tea bag into a cup and running water through the machine, they can have their tea without using a stove-top teapot or the microwave.
How chocolate can also be made with a one cup coffee machine, providing the hot water to add to the mix. Even an instant one-cup meal can use the hot water from a one cup coffee machine to heat just enough water for the meal or snack. They can be used by children to make hot water instead of the dangers of boiling water on the stove.
Watch the cup size when you are looking to buy a one cup coffee machine as some manufacturers interpret the meaning of one cup differently. Many acknowledge a one cup coffee machine will brew up to 12 ounces of coffee, the size of a typical coffee cup. Many larger coffee machine go by the liquid measurement for one cup, which is eight ounces which only amounts to a little over a half of a coffee cup.
