I would like some recommendations for a single serve brewer, preferably one that uses ground coffee and not pods. I had a hamilton beach ‘the scoop’ model at one point that I liked pretty well, but I’m open to other options if there are better one’s out there.

I’m currently using a aeropress, but I would like an additional brewer for convenience purposes.

    I have used moka pot, generic Melitta, french press, variety of drip machines, V60, Kono, and Clever Dripper. The Clever has been my go to device for fast and easy brewing at the office now for nearly 2 years. It produces good to great cups every time with a decent grinder, scale, and a basic kettle not goose neck. Far better cups than any drip machine can make other than the expensive computerized ones like the Clover or the one from Fellow or similar. Even the Moccamaster cannot match the Clever or the Switch and it is 10x the price they are.

        Pretty basic. Pick your ratio for the bean you are grinding. Grind your beans. Boil your water. Put the Clever on a scale. Hit zero. Put in the appropriate amount of water. Add the grounds. Don’t stir in, just let it sit for a minute or two. Then stir in the grounds very gently. Let sit for another 2 or 3 minutes. Then dispense (put the Clever on top of you cup or carafe. The end.
