I remember when the one cup coffee maker came out on the market. I kind of laughed at the idea originally. It was mainly because of the fact that I do not know very many people who are avid coffee drinkers who need a coffee maker, but only drinks one cup. However, someone bought me one for Christmas and now I would not trade it for anything in the world. I have several reasons for this and I will just cover them briefly below.
Cleaning is far easier
I had an old style coffee maker with one of those pots that seem to be near impossible to get your hand into to clean it. Also, since I only had one pot, I spent a lot of time in the evenings or early in the mornings when I would rather be asleep scrubbing it down. There is nothing worse than the flavor of old nasty coffee so I was really particular about having the pot clean. Since I would drink it every morning, I didn’t feel like it could go in the dishwasher. However, with this new one cup coffee maker I spend my time putting those cups in the dishwasher instead of washing them by hand. Also, with modern technology actually cleaning the one cup coffee maker is far easier too.
I like the savings
As mentioned above, I spent a lot of my time cleaning out old coffee in my old coffee maker. This essentially means that I constantly had coffee left over almost every day. This becomes wasteful in a hurry. Being one of the only ones in my house to drink as much coffee as I do, I still would not drink all of it. Probably almost half of every pot of coffee that was made would go down the drain. How wasteful is that? Now days, I only make exactly what I am going to drink. It has saved my pocket book a lot!
For me and me only
I was so impressed with the one cup coffee maker that I decided I would buy one for work. I had an old one there but the biggest problem is that everyone else was drinking my coffee too. I guess they assumed that since I was making so much of it, that it should become the community pot. Only a handful of people would pay for their cup of it. It did not really bother me too much, but I started thinking up how much money that was costing me. Now, since I am making only coffee for myself, I do not have to provide everyone else with it. That is just another side benefit at work to having the one cup coffee maker.
