Coffee isn't nearly as pervasive as it is just plain popular. The arrival of specialty coffees has been at the forefront of introducing more clever and innovative concepts in marketing coffee to the masses, and why not? Consumers are very particular when it comes to the selection of their breakfast beverage of choice. Do consumers really want need these fancy new contraptions? Let's have a closer look.
Single-serve coffee makers have been flying off the shelves since their conception nearly a decade ago. One in particular is designed to be used anywhere you can obtain hot water and utilizes nitrous oxide. Of particular note are the missing notes, or the fact that this is not freshly brewed coffee from grounds but coffee pods that are premade, pre-portioned, flavored coffees. This is presumably cutting into the margins of the big coffee chains, and providing consumers with additional choice.
Today there are more than a dozen brands manufacturing these convenience machines, and they come in both commercial and home varieties. There are many factors which should be considered in making a brand or model selection. Today's coffee maker looks more like tomorrow's futuristic machine establishing the "cool" factor when it comes to making up your mind which one to buy. That's even before you consider the particular coffee pod varieties and interchangeability.
Modern coffee machines now come in three varieties:
* Tassimo brewers - use T-discs
* Keurig brewers - use K-cups
* Coffee pod brewers - use coffee pods
All modern single-cup machines work with one of the above types of media, and none thus far are interchangeable with more than one variety. There are some that require the use of their branded coffee as they are fitted to the machines to establish exclusivity. The Tassimo variety is capable of reading a bar code on the T-Disk, and selecting a pre-determined temperature and flow rate.
This new-age way of brewing coffee provides convenience as it reduces the amount of clean up required, and prevents over-cooking the coffee. The selection of beverages available to consumers of these brewers increases with each passing year, and manufacturers have now developed latte and tea variations. Manufacturers have seen rapidly increasing adoption in the past two years, and demand has outgrown supply in some markets in North America. Testimonials from those who use these brewers often say the same thing: great taste, convenience, and value.
