Single Brew Coffee Machines

If you're looking for a single-serve coffee machine that makes tea or coffee the way you like it this model is your ideal choice. It's simple to use, offers four different brewing configurations and is compatible with single-pack or ground tea bags and coffee.

It's the smallest Keurig on the market and measures up 13.6 inches from front to back, making it able to be placed in a small kitchen or office space. It can brew one cup of coffee in a minute and has an water tank that can hold 52 ounces. It also has the "strong option that increases the strength of coffee to match your preferences.

The machine can be cleaned by spraying it with a cleaning agent and wiping it down. Paper clips can be used to clean the needles of your brewing. This is helpful when your machine is clogged.

The machine is expensive since it only works with K-Cup Pods. It doesn't work with the third-party pods which erupted on the market after the Keurig 2.0 patent expired in 2012.
