I want to buy a single-serve coffee maker to have on hand when a whole pot isn't needed. But I started looking around online and....geesh!! There are SO MANY of them! And their features, functions, selling points are all just overwhelming.
I don't want or need any fancy-schmancy features. I never leave coffee makers plugged in, so all the latest and greatest features (like setting its timer using my phone) are unneeded. I just want a basic set-up, where I pour in a latte cup's worth of water, put one serving of coffee in the holder, put my cup under the spout, and turn it on.
Please note that my latte mugs hold 16 ounces, but that's filled to the very top; in reality, the coffee maker needs to accommodate 12-14 ounces of water, but my cups have to fit!
Also, I didn't know until I started looking that single-use pods were NOT the only option. Now I know that you can also use scoops/baskets. I prefer the most environmentally friendly option, even if it takes a little extra work.
Suggestions? Brands, models, tips, anything?
