With the popularity of Keurig coffee machines rising, many people are curious about the benefits and drawbacks of single-serve coffeemakers. Keurig is well known for using K-cups, individualized containers holding different flavored coffee. Let\u2019s look at some of the pros and cons of this type of coffeemaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Pros<\/strong><\/td>\nCons<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Easy to insert K-cup into machine and brews a cup in less than a minute<\/td.\n\n\nNot the strongest coffee; may deter people who prefer a strong brew<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Affordable and risk-free to try a new flavor with a sample K-cup<\/td>\nNot readily available in all stores; may have to order online (which could be more cost-efficient, though)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Makes only as much coffee as you need, with none wasted<\/td>\nUnless you buy K-cups in bulk, the cost can be high<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Coffee stays fresh in air-sealed K-cup until it\u2019s brewed<\/td>\n

Coffeemaker is limited to single-serve function and cannot make drip coffee<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Consistent taste from cup to cup<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Some coffeemaker manufacturers have taken note of people\u2019s desire for more options. The Hamilton Beach Two Way Brewer Single Serve and 12-cup Coffee Maker, for instance, provides you with both options, drip coffee and single-serve, so you can choose whichever is more convenient at the moment.<\/p>\n
