When it comes to convenience few will argue that single-serve coffee brewers are is the way to go. Popular at home and the office, these appliances strike a balance between convenience and a quality cup of coffee. Keurig and Nespresso are the category leaders, but almost every brewing manufacturer markets at least one device these days.

Pods and Capsules

The technology revolves around a single-use prepackaged pod or capsule filled with ground coffee. Fill the reservoir with water (as needed), drop in a pod or capsule of your favorite coffee, place a coffee cup and press the start button. Within a minute or so the brew cycle is complete and you're ready to go.

Fillable Pods Offer More Options for Craft Coffee

By design single-serve brewers require a pod or capsule that fits the device. However, you aren't limited to coffee sold in pods. Most single-serve coffee brewers have a refillable pod option. If you use these, you can fill it with any ground specialty grade coffee you like.
