ONE CUP COFFEE MAKERS 
 

The one cup coffee makers are the modern drip coffee makers and also surprisingly simple devices. Manufacturers have had 25 years to hone their designs, so these coffee makers are pretty straightforward once you open them up.

They are probably the most inexpensive of all coffee machines, a simple system of placing the the coffee grind in the filter and watching the machine do the rest of the work. These type of coffee machines are great for home use.

Coffee maker machines with thermal carafes are ideal if you like to keep a pot of coffee for an extended period of time. The insulated thermal carafe keeps the coffee  hot for hours without burning or altering the flavor of your coffee. And since the carafe does not need a burner to stay warm, you can take it with you.

There are literally thousands of coffee maker machines on the market we decided to review two of them for you, since they all operate basically the same way.

 Capresso 455 CoffeeTEAM Therm Stainless Coffeemaker/Burr Grinder Combination(Link to Amazon.com with 91 customer reviews)

From the amount of reviews one can find around the net on this machine, makes you think it is very popular. Nevertheless as buyer you have to realize that as there are excellent ratings and reviews there are also very poor ones.

This happens often in the review area, sometimes due to consumer  extreme expectations, others because the machine is plainly just bad!

At a price tag of around $299, you as a consumer have to exert caution and make your own decision based on your gut feeling, the money you are willing to spend, the features you are looking for and by carefully reviewing the return policy from the seller, just in case.

Features: The Coffee Team Therm combination drip coffeemaker and grinder is ideal for coffee lovers looking to brew fresh tasting coffee. An upgraded digital brewing system allows you to brew 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10 cups of fresh-ground coffee and program brewing up to 24 hours in advance.

The Coffee Team Therm has separate controls for the conical-burr grinder and allows you to select the desired strength of your coffee by simply pressing a button.

Additionally, the Coffee Team Therm features a 50 oz stainless steel, thermal carafe that will keep your coffee hot for hours.

Equipped with a built-in conical burr grinder, the Capresso Coffee Team Therm provides coffee lovers the ultimate coffee making experience. The built-in conical burr-grinder on the Coffee Team Therm is extremely efficient not only because it produces a more consistent grind than most blade grinders, but also because it spins at a slower speed.

By grinding at a slower speed, the Coffee Team Therm eliminates the possibility of ever overheating the beans during grinding. Just add beans into the top-loading hopper, select one of four grind settings, swing the filter-basket under the grinder and then begin the brewing process.

The 80-gram bean hopper stores and grinds only enough beans for a single use, so you will always have fresh tasting coffee. Additionally, Capresso has engineered the Coffee Team Therm to brew at 200 ° and maintain the fresh brewed coffee in the stainless steel thermal carafe at 180° for several hours, preserving the fresh taste of your coffee.

Mr. Coffee FTX29 12-Cup Coffeemaker, Red (Link to Amazon.com 22 customer reviews)

This is a machine that as an excellent counter appeal, but when you come to the nitty gritty what counts is performance and some of the reviews we found around the net do not paint a pretty picture for this machine.

Nontheless there is also a large group of people that is completely satisfied and very happy with their purchase.

Considering all the features you get for this a machine at a price tag of around $49.00 the loss risk factor is pretty minimal.

Tips for Making Great Filter Coffee...

1. Know your machine
One of the first things you should do when you get a new coffee maker is measure the size of the "cups" that are marked on the jug. The standard cup will vary on drip coffee makers from brand to brand, so it's important to know how yours is measured. From there, you will know how much coffee to add.

2. Prep
Make sure all your equipment is cleaned to remove any rancid coffee oils from a previous brew, and rinsed to remove any detergent residue.

3. Grind
For filter coffee, you need to use a finer grind than you would for a plunger / French press, but not quite as fine as you would for espresso. Drip coffee makers are available with various kinds of filter. Depending on the type of filter, you should adjust your grind as follows:

     Paper Filter                            - medium-fine
     Permanent Metal Mesh Filter  - medium
     Permanent Nylon Mesh Filter  - medium-fine

If you find there is coffee sediment in the pot, adjust your grind to be a little coarser.

4. Spoon
When it's time to spoon in the fresh coffee, be generous. It is always easier to dilute your brew than to make it stronger. As a guide, you should allow 1 rounded tablespoon per coffee cup.
 

Tip: some drip coffee makers require a paper filter. If you are using a paper filter, wet it with some hot water before you spoon in the coffee. This will reduce the amount of flavorsome coffee oils that would otherwise get trapped in the paper.

5. Brew
Allow your machine to brew the coffee. Some drip coffee makers have a 'pause' feature that allow you to pour coffee from the pot before the brew cycle has finished. We recommend that you try not to use this feature. The reason is that filter brewing always extracts stronger flavor at first and follows through with weaker coffee. If you take from the pot before the brew cycle is finished, the coffee in the pot will not be evenly flavored.

6. Serve
As mentioned in step 5, the strongest coffee is at the bottom of the pot. So, give the pot a swirl to distribute the flavor evenly before serving. Serve immediately, pouring into pre-warmed cups for best results. Enjoy!
