Compact Single-Serve Coffeemakers Will Optimize Your Morning Routine

Click here to read the full article.

Most people, especially sleep-deprived parents, find it difficult to get up in the morning without a strong cup of coffee. In 2018, a Reuters study found that 64 percent of Americans drink coffee every single day. Coffee is a necessity, but brewing an entire pot when you just need one or two cups doesn’t have to be a reality for you and your family. If you’re just making coffee for one or two people, you’re probably washing a decent amount of joe down the drain every day. Save yourself some coffee by investing in a single-serve coffee maker.

If you switched to a single-serve coffee maker, you would get just the right amount of coffee every time. There’d be no mental math or over- or under-budgeting before 8 a.m., which no one can handle before drinking caffeine. You also wouldn’t have to wait a precious extra five minutes for an entire pot to brew when you’re already late. You can just grab and go. Parents are short on time to begin with, don’t waste yours waiting by your coffee maker willing it to work faster. All of the coffee makers we profiled make a cup of coffee in less than three minutes. And if you’re a fan of your tall travel mug, don’t worry, you’ll still be able to use a single serve machine.
