Review: Mr. Coffee Single-Serve Brewing System

While I was skeptical of the k-cup brewing system when it first came out, I’ve since been converted and have a Keurig Brewing System on my counter at home. I generally prefer it to any of the store-bought coffee on the market, for a fraction of the price. 

Mr. Coffee is a bit late to the game from the sense that the market is flooded with k-cup and Tassimo makers at this point. With numerous pros and cons to the selections available.
I’ve had a chance to try out the Mr Coffee Brewing System and it certainly carves its own place in the marketplace.

Pros: 

• At a suggested retail price of $79.95 this is by far the most budget-friendly version of the Keurig systems
• Size: While many coffee brewers take up tons of room on countertops, the Mr. Coffee system is small and compact
• Style: Sleek. Simple. Elegant. 

Cons: 

• There is a penalty to pay for size and style. The system only holds enough water for a single cup of coffee. Additional cups means additional fills.
• While some of the fancier k-cup systems have functions such as Auto On/Off; Temperature Control; and the like, this system is fairly bare bones. 

In short, the Mr Coffee Single-Serve Brewing System certainly fills a void in this already saturated market. Perfect to leave up at your cottage, or install at the office – it is low maintenance and compact compared to similar brew systems available. If you have a galley kitchen or a bar where you’ve been hesitant to add a large counter-top gadget, the Mr. Coffee is a small, sleek option that really was not available until now. At the end of the day, it is a small, affordable way to brew your coffee – one delicious cup at a time.
