There is no doubt that the current star of the coffee industry belongs to the pod coffee makers. In less than a decade, they have become the choice machine of many consumers.

The trend is such, that once consumers started on these single cup coffee brewer, when they change, they would move on to other brands, they would not revert back to other genre of machines.

There are many reasons why these machines are so popular and in this article I would just use three of them. When it comes brewing it yourself, the majority of us would go for the solution that is the easiest.

While, there are a small group that would look for machines that would help them to know more about brewing and the art of espresso making, most of us just want to have our coffee the easy way.

And it is this element that makes the pod coffee so popular. Not only are they very easy to use, they are very easy to maintain as well. Using this machine only requires you to know which button to press to brew it, and the slot to insert the pods.

Although, nobody would allow a 3 year old to drink or even brew coffee, the set up is really simple enough that a child that age would be able to do it.

When it comes to cleaning, it is nothing more than throwing away the spend pod and wiping the machine. This is so much easier when compared to dismantling of the whole machine to clean and wash in the case of espresso or drip filter brewers.

I know that even without going into the third reasons, the two factors highlighted above would be enough to convince most of us that this is a good brewer, but the last is really a solution to many city dwellers.

Part of our urban lifestyle is living in a very small and cramped apartment. We do not have the space for anything, so when we want to purchased a machine, it has to be something small enough to fit into the very limited space we have.

If you have look at any single cup machine, you would know that any one of them is at least 50% smaller than your usual drip filter brewer, so this is the machine that would not cause you any headache in looking for a space to accommodate it.

Other than taking up very little space, the coffee pods are also packed in small boxes so you would not have to worry about storing it or having any pest issue.

There you have it, three reasons why these single coffee brewers and hope that if these machines would bring you many great cuppa!
