A One Cup Coffee Maker offers the convenience of making instant coffee with the luxury of drinking percolated coffee. A One Cup Coffee Maker sacrifices size for efficiency in delivering robust, full-flavored percolated coffee without having to figure out the formula of water and coffee. It makes delicious, delectable coffee in one cup, just like with instant coffee, but with gourmet flavor.

A One Cup Coffee Maker can come with capabilities of making either both espresso and coffee or only coffee or espresso. The One Cup Coffee Maker that makes both costs more than the more dedicated models. Prices of a single cup coffee maker range from $2.99 to $500 and can be purchased either online or in landline stores.

The least expensive one cup coffee maker consists of a Melitta Ready Set Joe filter cone which gets placed right into the coffee cup. Insert a filter on top of then, pour the water—and presto, a delicious cup of coffee. This device costs a mere $2.99.

On the opposite side of the spectrum, look at the Soltazza Mini Barista Pod Coffee machine. This futuristic device which looks like an Italian designer-made faucet, brews espresso and tea in addition to a cup of coffee. The beauty of the machine is it delivers one cup at a time—no waste, no mess. Shipping is also included in the deal, and don’t you think for $500 a pop you’ve earned it?
