Versatile single cup coffeemaker that brews a strong flavor

I began looking for a new single cup coffee maker and chose the Breville BKC600XL machine. After reading other reviews about the popular Keurig coffee makers I thought that maybe the coffee would be too weak for my tastes. I needed an alternative so I researched many choices and decided on this Breville. It brews very good and dark coffee that is just right for me.

If darker coffee is what you are looking for then use the 7.25 oz setting which I think is the default one. This is just about the normal sized cup so you will find that you have the right amount every time. Also realize that the taste largely depends on the k-cup that you buy. I prefer the Green Mountain Dark Magic the most but there are tons of choices out there. I have experimented with many of the blends and have a short list of my favorites. The good thing about these machines is it is easy to try a variety of flavors.

If you enjoy drinking tea you will also like this coffeemaker. It makes a nice green and black tea but again, this depends on the k-cup you buy. While brewing tea is usually as easy as putting the bag in some hot water it's nice to have the option from your coffee maker.

What really makes the BKC600XL a great choice for our family is the speed of the brewing and the ease of use. We don't have to grind, measure, wait, and clean up anymore. It also works great for our visitors since they can pick and choose which flavor they want and they can have a cup of coffee in around one minute. No more brewing multiple pots that will just go to waste.
