Stir Fry Coffee?!

You know it when you drink it – coffee that has been sitting around for hours on end and is totally fried – it smells bad and tastes even worse; it’s the sort of coffee truck drivers who want to stay up all night might drink, the kind of coffee that is so strong the spoon stands up in the mug. Why doesn’t it create more of a stir - serving rancidisn’t pleasant for anyone.

The funny thing is that anyone can have great coffee whenever they’d like – all you need is an on demand or single serve coffee maker; it’s the modern way to make coffee. On demand coffee makers resemble conventional electric drip coffee makers in that they have a water reservoir and they require access to an electrical outlet. They differ in that there is no coffee pot or warming tray nor is there a thermal carafe.

When you use a single serve brewing system you make just one cup of coffee at a time and it brews directly into your cup, glass or mug. This means it is always fresh, hot and flavorful but never stale or bitter and certainly not fried. To make the coffee you use individually sealed, premeasured single portion coffee pods, packets or K-Cups® - there are many different formats but they all work along the same basic lines.

Select a coffee insert, place your mug under the brewing pot and press a button – the machine opens the packets and brews a perfect cup of coffee in one minute or less. It’s easy to switch back and forth between regular and decaffeinated coffee and cleanup is minimal – all you do is discard the spent coffee insert and you are ready to brew another cup.
