There's no better way to start your day than with a cup of freshly brewed Bosch TAS1002 Tassimo Happy Coffee Maker in Black designed for you. That's why we're a fan of single brew coffee makers.

Take note of what is essential to you in terms of your brewing needs and what features would consider frills. Our criteria includes a large reservoir, multiple brew setting and the use of reusable coffee pods.

1. Do you need capsules or ground coffee?

Depending on what you prefer depending on your preferences, you can pick one that utilizes coffee pods or beans ground. While we have some models that rely solely on coffee pods in our roundup, the majority can accommodate both. This versatility makes them a good choice for those who enjoy having a variety of options at hand.

Our top choice one, the Nespresso Vertuo Plus, is an excellent example of this. It's part of the newer Vertuoline from the brand and comes with an unbeatable one-touch system that gives amazing espresso shots and freshly coffee beans that are brewed. It was also the most efficient machine we've tested and comes with reuseable pods that are better for the environment than K-Cups.

For those who prefer to use ground coffee and prefer to use the Cuisinart Grind & Brew is another fantastic option. It has a built-in conical grinder that creates freshly-ground coffee. It also comes with three preset brewing size options including eight ounces, ten and twelve inches. It's more expensive than other single-serve models in our lineup however it's among the most delicious ones we've test.

The Instant Pot Dual Pod Plus is our second-placed choice is a great choice for those who want to be able to use both types of pods or grounds. It's a machine that's flexible, as it can brew with Keurig K-Express Coffee Maker: Fast and Efficient K-Cups or original Nespresso capsules. The company also sells its own compostable capsules. It also produces some of the hottest coffees of all the machines we've tested and offers a variety of additional functions, including hot water for tea as well as milk frother.

2. Does it have a huge water reservoir?

The top single brew coffee maker will have a huge reservoir of water that can easily keep up with your needs. This will stop your machine from running out of water continuously and affecting the quality of the brew. The amount of water in the reservoir is also an important factor to consider when choosing the best coffee maker, because it will influence the frequency at which you need to refill and empty the tank.

It's compact and Coffeee fits on a small counter. It's also the cheapest of our top picks. It also makes the most delicious coffee and comes with an integrated travel cup to make it easy. It didn't do as well as the other brewers that we tested, but its water reservoir was small.

If you're willing to spend a bit more, our upgrade option the Keurig K-Supreme Smart Single-Serve Coffee Maker has a great design and features that make it stand out in our tests. It offers fast brewing time and high temperatures for coffee. It also has three different brew sizes and is extremely easy to use. The only drawback is that it requires a one hour descaling process which can be a pain for those who drink a lot of coffee on a regular basis.

3. Does it have multiple brew settings?

The best single-brew coffee maker has multiple settings, including different sizes, types and amounts of beverages as well as the possibility of making a cold brew. This lets you customize the drink to your liking and save time by not boiling or steeping the coffee grounds in hot water. This method uses cooler water, which helps keep the coffee's flavor.

Epi's reviews editor Noah Kaufman is a big fan of the Bruvi single-serve espresso maker because it offers a variety of one-touch brewing options that allow you to make the perfect cup coffee, whether you prefer a low acidity drink or espresso-like shot served over ice. The Bruvi comes with a brewing option which takes longer than a quick brew but it's worth it if you want a rich and smooth cup.

In our tests the Bruvi consistently made the most hot and consistent cup of coffee among all the single-serve machines we tested. Its brewing process and timer are easy to program, and it will keep your beverage hot for up to four hours. The Bruvi has an option for cold brew that adjusts the brewing temperature and brew times to create a refreshingly cool beverage.

Breville Precision Brewer was another top-of-the-line product, with six brew settings, including Gold Strong, Fast, Strong and Iced. The Gold setting is inspired by the Specialty Coffee Association's guidelines for a perfect cup of coffee. All other settings can be customized to meet your needs. In contrast to the other single-serve brewers we tested Breville Precision Breville Precision has a narrower base, which aided it to hold onto the temperature of its brew better and allow for deeper saturation and an even extraction of the bean.

4. Does it have an auto-cleaning feature?

The best single-cup machines have a feature that automatically cleans the machine. It removes used K-Cup pods or grounds left over after each use. Certain models can even notify you of the need for cleaning cycles. You should always check the manual for use or the manufacturer's website for detailed instructions. Different machines employ different cleaning techniques.

The single-serve coffee maker from Bruvi is among our top picks due to its simple and intuitive user interface, produces delicious coffee, and requires only minimal daily maintenance. It can be used to brew hot or cold drinks. It has a variety of single-touch options, including low acid, Americano and cold brew. It takes longer to brew compared to other models. However, this is an insignificant flaw in an otherwise excellent product.

It comes with a removable water tank that weighs 40 ounces, which can be used for K-Cups as well as ground coffee.

5. Is it programmable?

The most programmable espresso maker allows you to set it up the night before so that you awake to a freshly brewed cup of coffee. This is especially helpful for mornings when you're in a rush or for those who do not like the effort required to use pour-overs or a Moka pot.

The majority of coffee makers that can be programmed come with a basic 24-hour timer however, should you want more advanced features you might want to consider the De'Longhi COM532, which is our favorite pod-based single-cup machine. It has a digital touchscreen and a variety of settings that allow you to customize your coffee to the type you prefer, including brew temperature and strength. The machine is expensive, yet it produces the most intense coffee out of any of our machines we tested and its carafe is able to keep it at the ideal drinking temperature for over an hour after it has been brewed.

It's easy to use, has a compact footprint and is compatible with ESE pods (Eco-friendly single-serve). It also scored highly in our tests of taste, is able to brew quickly, and comes with an easy-to-clean water tank that is dishwasher-safe.

If you're tired of pre-packaged pods and like to save more money, a single-cup or manual drip brewer is a great alternative. You can grind your own beans for better taste and more control over the flavor of your beverage. It is more time-consuming than using a machine that uses pods, but if are a fan of coffee, it might be worth it. To ensure consistent results measure the weight of your coffee beans and ground coffee on a scale, instead of measuring volume.
