My Thoughts

 I am a huge coffee drinker. Its pretty much either coffee or water for me, but 99% of the time its coffee. There's a cup sitting beside me while I type up this review. Since I'm the only one in my house who drinks coffee 24/7, a one cup brewer has been on my wish list for quite some time, but the Kuerig brand simply wasn't in my price range. The Mr. Coffee Single Cup Brewing System is a more affordable option that uses the Keurig technology but doesn't cost a fortune. The result is a great cup of coffee every time at an affordable price. 

 The Mr. Coffee Single Cup Brewing System is lightweight and easy to use. It comes completely assembled and even includes a few trial K-cups to try out. The water reservoir allows you to fill it enough  to make a few cups and you have the option of 6 or 10 oz. Personally, I found the 10 oz was the perfect strength for an average K-cup. Once filled up, you simply stick your K-Cup in the slot, select your brew size, and you're ready to go. The brewing process takes only a few minutes and when its done you have a fresh tasting mug of coffee. This is a much better alternative to coffee that's been sitting on the warmer for hours. 




While I do love the individual K-cups, I know for me the cost of them was one of the things that deterred me from getting a machine. If this is a concern for you, it doesn't have to be. A found a great little gadget that allows me to use my own coffee in the one cup brewer. These mini filters can usually be found with the coffee accessories and it will allow you to take advantage of the great coffee this machine can brew at a fraction if the cost. Of course the K-cups offer the convenience of no clean up, but the option to choose is there. 

All in all, I love the Mr. Coffee Single Cup Brewing System. I found it offers the same quality I have come to expect from Mr. Coffee. Their coffee makers have been gracing my counter since my college days and they've never let me down yet. The Single Cup Brewer is the newest addition to the family and I'm happy to say it hasn't let me down.

Sounds great! I love coffee too.
Nice review. Blessings, Catherine

lisa said...

I'm not much of a coffee drinker. My husband is the one. I think he would like this.

jamiedodd said...

I love that it's lightweight and comes with cups to try. My husband works so hard for our family, id LOVE to win this for him. Thanks so much! God Bless!

ann said...

Lots of good things to make and drink with this Mr. Coffee. The family drinks lots of coffee at my house so this would come in really handy for us. thanks

Unknown said...

Have been wanting one of these, but was worried about the price of the K-cups. Thanks for the heads up on the mini filter..

Anna Pry said...

this would help with avoiding the waste of brewing a pot for just me

chickie717 said...

Yep, I understand the other brands are not in my prize range either. This would be a great addition in most of out kitchens.

laborders2000 said...

I absolutely love the Keurig maker and the cups. Helps me to save what I have rather than waste;) I am thankful that Mr. Coffee and others have followed suit.

Unknown said...

I don't need a large coffee maker anymore this size sounds perfect.

rj7777 said...

I like this. I drink coffee and my husband doesn't most of the time. This is perfect for that special cup you want brewed. The coffee for this may cost more but not to Starbucks or other coffee spots. Nice review.

momo said...

This sounds like a great coffee maker to have for my husband and I. It's only he and myself now, so our bigger brewer is not needed much anymore.

laurie nykaza said...

I love that you can pick a cup of whatever flavor you would like and pop it in and make a quick great cup of coffee, especially when I'm on the go . Fast and easy is what i love about this system.

Unknown said...

Love the new technology that doesn't cost a fortune. Under a minute ~ no one has to wait ♥

Lynne said...

I'm a lover of the Mr. Coffee brand too. I really appreciate that this machine has ability (after you get the accessory part) to let you use it to brew your own ground coffee. The little cups are cute, but I worry about all that plastic waste.

Denise Taylor-Dennis said...

I have one of the reusable k-cup things, I haven't tired it yet but I know it will certainly save money. I love this Mr. Coffee unit wish I would have know about it before I got my Keurig.

colleenmaul said...

Tjese are awsome,... i love it so much like really having a coffee cup made for a queen perfect

Claire D said...

I would love to be able to try one of these. I am the only one in my household who drinks coffee, so being able to brew just one cup with no messy clean-up would be great.

Claire D said...

I would love to try one of these. I'm the only coffee drinker in the house, and it would be great to be able to brew just one cup for myself with no messy cleanup!

kymom13 said...

I love, Love, LOVE coffee! I thought all keurig-like makers used K-Cups. I am now educated ;)

Unknown said...

I love my Mr Coffee brewing system, but it makes a full carafe and not just a cup at a time and at times, it would be great to have just one cup and not have to waste a whole pot, I like that this pot also has option of ounces to make your coffee with. THank you for the review.

Vianet A. said...

Thanks for the review! Great alternative to the Keurig.

Lisa R said...

Wow, it does both single and a pot, I wish they had this before I got a keurig cause I need both keurig and coffee maker on my counter. this would be great for my son he is moving into a new apartment and needs a coffee maker,

Bias said...

I definitely think the key is being able to fill it with your own coffee. The k-cups may be convenient, but they are expensive and not very environmentally friendly. Did you purchase your "gadget" from Mr. Coffee?

Unknown said...

Love the idea of the single cup. I've always had a drip coffee maker with a pot. Would love to win it.

Unknown said...

great review! I have always wanted one of these. i hear raves all the time. the cups individual pricing gets to me as well. but i like the idea of refilling. haha!

Paula Ball said...

I didn't know there was a gadget that you could reuse in these machines. That changes my view of these completely ,& now I have to have one!

Unknown said...

Your review answered all questions I would need to have answered about this product. I need to replace my Keurig system and have been waiting due to price, now I'm looking at this Mr. Coffee. Thanks so much!

Unknown said...

I think I like the most that varying sizes of cups and travel mugs also can used with Mr. Coffee's Brewing System. After all, Mr. Coffee has always been a household name and this brewer is another reason why its so.

Sherry Butcher said...

This would fit nice on my countertop since my 12 cup one does not I hate putting it away or some place in the house. TFS.

ann said...

I like the fact that it is lightweight and easy to use if important to me to. thanks

Unknown said...

I wud lov to own one of these. Always wanted one.

Marlene said...

I love that you can buy a filter that allows you to use your own coffee. I love coffee and this would be great.

Lauryn R said...

Like you, I have always been a little hesitant about getting one of these because of the high cost of the k cups. I love that you found mini filters (I had no idea they made these) so you have the option of using your own coffee! Great review!

An Apel a Day said...

It's so cute! This would be great for me at work.

Denise Low said...

I WOULD SO MUCH TO WIN THIS. I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED ONE

Anonymous said...


I stayed with a friend and she had this kind. It was so neat. One that makes only a cup at a time is all I need so this would be perfect. Would love it. Maxie Anderson mac262(at)me(dot)com

laurie nykaza said...

My sister has one and drinks tea and coffee from it and just loves everything about it.

Courtney B said...

i love how pretty this is! this would look so nice in our kitchen !!!!

momo said...

What a nice coffee machine this would be to own. I do like having my cup of joe every morning to get my day started right.

Kaddyshack said...

I love that I can use my own coffee with this. I'm absolutely in love with Peet's coffee and those K-cups are sooo expensive.

carolann88fan said...

I like you am also a coffee drinker 99% of the time and am the only coffee drinker in my home. This would save me a lot of waste. I could just brew when I wanted just one cup instead of a pot.

Tandi V. said...

I love that this is a single cup maker. There are some days that I only have time for one. This would be perfect for me....lol

Brooke said...

Being able to brew just one cup would be so helpful.

sal222s said...

Being able to make one cup just for me
is just great.I certainly would enjoy that after dinner.

Sandra VanHoey said...

This coffee maker offers so many neat options. I like the fact that she said we could also use our own coffee and can buy the smaller filters. It is also great that it can make hot chocolate for the grandkids. Thank you so much for this giveaway

BethElderton said...

This is a beauty! My daughter who lives alone LOVES the single serve brewer--she can choose any variety and not waste anything.

rj7777 said...

I would love this too! I am the only one that drinks coffee most of the time in my house too. This would be nice for a fresh cup! Thanks for the great review. Rita Spratlen

OlmsteadKat said...

This is absolutely perfect for me!

Lisa Ehrman said...

I would love to have one of these coffee makers!

Shannon said...

This sounds nice and I love that you can make a single cup of coffee in your choice of flavor!

Jessica C said...

I drink coffee every day and I love this so much , it would work great for my family :)

freddie said...

This system looks and sounds wonderful. I love that it's more affordable to buy.

Ogitchida Kwe's Book Blog said...

I like the fact that you can use another filter with your own coffee in the machine! That is an excellent idea.

Unknown said...

I have always wanted a single cup brewer; but the other brand was way to expensive for me. This is an alternative I was hoping for. Thank you for the review!

Unknown said...

I've always wanted a single cup brewing system. The k-cups are so handy, but I love that you can grind and put your own in there as well.

An Apel a Day said...

This would be perfect for work.

polly said...

This would be wonderful to have instead of running to Starbucks 3-4 times a week!

I love K-cups and have been a big addict of coffee since i started having it. This machine seems to be doing all the great work and is a must have from a few of my favorites.

Sarah Hayes said...

Rebecca Swenor said...

I would love to have one of these it looks and sounds awesome.

this is the nicest coffee

RebeccaX said...

I have always wanted a Keurig. It is great to know that there is a more affordable alternative.

umyk9blogger said...

I only drink 1 cup of coffee in the morning, so this is just perfect for me

Sky Evans said...

I love the ease of this. It's so cool.

Unknown said...

Great review! This would be great for my mornings!

Buddy Garrett said...

My wife would love this. She likes her cup of coffee in the morning.

Unknown said...

This actually looks better than a Keurig. I would love to have one like this

lilyk said...

This brewer looks very nice. Thanks for sharing!

Unknown said...

This is a nice inexpensive alternative to the regular branded K-Cup systems. I like all the features except the cup size only goes to 10 oz. We have ours set to 12 oz and it fills the cups we use just about right, 10 oz. would be a little short.

Athena said...

Ñice kcup brewer! I couldn't live without my Keurig.

Unknown said...

This is awesome! I love coffee but hate brewing an entire pot just for myself if my husband isn't home. Reheating coffee doesn't always taste good. This is just what I need.

tisme143 said...

great review , love the fact that you can have that fresh cup of coffee with out losing any of the flavor and it doesn't take long to enjoy that delicious cup of coffee.. thanks for share

tamra64 said...

well i dont see my other post so here goes again. I loved your review especially the tip for saving money on the little filters that plays a big part in deciding if these are affordable or not. Thank you

Candy Hoffman said...

Yeah, it's unfortunate that this way of drinking coffee is more expensive compared to brewing a pot, it is so convenient and easy for having a fresh brewed cup whenever it strikes your fancy!

Joe said...

id love something like this for my office cube

D Charte said...

My husband is the coffee drinker in our house. I pretty much drink water. This looks like a awesome coffee maker - easy to use

Deborah Dumm said...

Mr. Coffee is the only brand of coffee makers etc. that I will buy. I am happy to learn that here is another one of their wonderfully made products passing the test.

Unknown said...

You hit the nail on the head when you said the cost of the K-cup individuals was a concern. I am thrilled to read about the individual filters! Thank you for the info!

Unknown said...

The Mr.Coffee machine looks like a great machine

Unknown said...

Love mr coffee my first mr coffee maker i passed on to my daughter and would love a single serve one!

Beanybopp said...

My husband has been wanting a Keurig for awhile now but I just cant see myself spending that type of money on something that makes coffee...I may just have him look into one of these.

DesiredOne said...

I love that the machine is easy to use and definitely like that it is a single cup serve.

candy kratzer wenzel said...

Would love this for my son-in-law. Great review.

freddie said...

This coffee maker sounds wonderful and I love that you can use Kuerig K-cups with it.

momo said...

I have been wanting one of these coffee makers for so long. I really like all the great features this has also, would be a good one for me to use.

Sarah Elyce said...

I don't actually drink coffee but he does, and I like to have it for guests. I understand what you mean about a single cup brewer being a great option but the Keurig being too much money.

Unknown said...

I have not yet gotten the K cup. I feel they would be handy for the afternoons when I don't want to brew a whole pot . Nice review!

I love that it doesn't cost so much. I would love one of these.

JamesKennedy said...

I'd love to own this for single cups of coffee. I always waste too much with a regular brewer.

Miranda McCallister said...

I love the idea of the single cup coffee brewing machines. Glad to hear they do come through in quality. These would be nice because sometimes I don't want a full pot and waste coffee grounds. Or sometimes my boyfriend wants coffee and I want tea then it's this huge hassle because our kitchen is too small for both of us to be in there at the same time. The small filters are great and easy to use. My bestie has the Keurig and uses those.
