my folks is pretty much just like most other ordinary American families. We enjoy our youngsters, work conscientiously and try and enjoy our time off with loved ones. We’ve always enjoyed a great coffee in the morning and maybe even after dinner. For years we did what everybody else did, buy ground coffee brands, dump the grounds in a filter, stick it in the brewer and wait for eight cups or so to pour through. Then we started purchasing full beans, which required the acquisition of a grinder. Fun for some time, but untidy.

Then one evening my wife and I were at a friend’s house for dinner and they offered us a cup. When asked what I preferred I just suggested that I would have whatever everybody else wanted. Our friend opened the cupboard and showed us a spread of tiny cups, each packed with enough coffee for a single cup… Dark roasts, breakfast blends, you say it. She then pointed towards the corner of the kitchen and introduced us to the single cup coffee maker. I afterwards learned this was a Keurig model. One of several made by folks that invented what is called the’K Cup’ system.
the next morning when we started the method of brewing another pot of coffee the inevitable conversation started about what we had uncovered the evening before. We both loved coffee. We did not always agree on what variety we wanted on a stipulated morning. We didn’t always drink the entire pot. And we were both a bit sick of the mess and hassle involved in brewing a pot of coffee ( yeah… We can be a tiny lazy in the morning… First one out of bed makes the coffee ). So I popped open the laptop and started performing some research on single cup coffee makers. I promise you, I’m taking my time when looking at products. After a day or two of looking and debating I settled on one or two brands. You can see the options I considered below. These are all superb options and took considerable time ( and more than 1 or 2 eye rolls from my bride ) for me to sort through the options. I eventually ordered the Keurig B70 single cup coffee maker. Feature for feature the best single cup coffee maker I could find.
