The coffee review has a excellent well thought out review of the many single serve coffee systems on the market.

The introduction

Following are detailed reviews of a selection of most of the leading single-serve coffee brewing units on the market as of December 2005. By single-serve coffee brewing units we mean devices that produce single servings of freshly brewed drip-style coffee and related beverages on demand from individual cartridges of ground coffee.

Note that these devices are intended to produce individual, freshly brewed cups of drip-style coffee. Although some of these machines also produce a loose interpretation of drinks like cappuccino and caffè latte, they do not produce anything like a true café version of espresso beverages. They produce a drip-style coffee, which is lighter-bodied and less intense than espresso, and in the case of the hybrid cappuccinos and caffè lattes they produce, the “milk” part of the drink consists of a soluble creamer that is typically pre-sweetened. Our reviews of these new drip-style, single-serve machines aim at providing a general introduction to their capabilities: their ease of use, likely durability, coffee delivery format (pod, capsule, pouch, etc.), the range of coffees and other beverages available in these formats, and related issues.
