For people who only like to drink freshly brewed coffee instead of the stale and burnt coffee in a carafe that has been sitting on a hot plate for hours, a Mr. Coffee SL13 Home Café Single Serve Coffee Maker is worth checking out.
The machine brews only enough coffee for a cup of up to 14 ounces. Of course, you can have less, or divide the 14 ounces into two. All you need to do is adjust the amount of water you pour into the reservoir.
Capable of brewing coffee or tea pods as well as loose coffee grounds or leaves, your drink options are virtually unlimited. It can brew almost all available commercial pods from various manufacturers as well as homemade versions. It also brews loose coffee grounds and tea leaves.
This is made possible by the three pod trays that come with the coffee machine. One tray accommodates a single pod. Most pods are good for a 4- to 6-ounce cup, so this is what you use for a small drink. A second tray holds two pods, which you can use for a bigger cup, for a really strong brew, or for two cups. The third tray is what you use for loose grounds or leaves.
Although brewing with pods is quicker as it does not require grinding beans and measuring the right amount of grounds, not to mention the need to handle wet and soggy used grounds, brewing loose grounds expands your choice of blends.
Use of the Mr. Coffee SL13 Home Café Single Serve Coffee Maker is a breeze. Just pour the appropriate amount of water into the reservoir, drop a pod or scoop in your grounds, and hit the start button.
The brew head can be adjusted to suit either a short 4-ounce cup or a tall 14-ounce mug to prevent coffee dripping from it from splattering all over your kitchen counter. And in case coffee overflows from the cup, the removable drip tray catches it all.
The coffee maker is compact, measuring only 5" W x 7" D x 9" H, with a footprint of less than a quarter of a square foot. It weighs 5.3 pounds.
