Find Single Serve Coffee Brewers Under $100, K-Cup, Melitta, Senseo
All coffee, tea, and hot chocolate drinkers in the house or office can have their own personalized beverage with popular single cup brewing systems. Often, these brewers come with specialized coffee delivery systems, such as a cup or a pod, which sends just the right amount of ground beans, tea, or chocolate to fit individual tastes.
These one-cup coffee systems are fast, too. Most keep water in a reservoir and users need only to insert the coffee pack, press a button, and their coffee or other hot beverage is ready in minutes.
Following are some comparisons of the single serve brewing systems available to buy online. All cost less than $100.

Reduce Waste With Single Serve Coffee Makers
The K-Cups and pods needed for some of these brewers are more expensive than standard canisters of coffee. Buy in bulk to get big discounts. Considering how much coffee in a traditional maker gets tossed down the drain after sitting for hours, the cost difference between standard and single-serve systems diminishes significantly.
