Why You Should Trust My Review

• Coffee Fanatic. I absolutely adore coffee. When I'm not grabbing a coffee on the go, I'm using one of my many other coffee makers to make the perfect cup at home.
• Efficient. I love using kitchen gadgets to make cooking more efficient. That's the only way I know how to do things. If a cup of coffee is creating problems instead of fixing them, I'm not interested.
• Gadget geek!: I'm a self-proclaimed food tech enthusiast and have been known to purchase (and review) just about any kitchen appliance or tool I can get my hands on.

What Is A Sboly Single Serve Coffee Maker?

If you've heard of other single serve coffee makers on the market, you'll be familiar with what a Sboly single serve coffee maker does.

Four Reviewing Points

There are four factors I took into consideration when I was reviewing the Sboly single serve coffee maker. They are:

1. Footprint
2. Capacity
3. Ease of Use
4. Price

1. Footprint

If you live in a small apartment, dorm, RV, or just have too many kitchen gadgets to keep on your kitchen counters, you'll absolutely love the footprint of this Sboly single serve coffee maker. This thing is TINY. And unlike other single serve coffee or espresso makers I've reviewed (The Instant Pod and Nespresso Espresso Maker) you can easily store this under your kitchen cabinets on your countertop and it is still perfectly functional in place.

If you're wondering what the exact dimensions of this coffee maker are to fit in a specific small space, here are the dimensions:

• Height: 12in
• Width: 4in
• Depth: 7.5in

So even in the tiniest of spaces you can still enjoy some of your favorite coffee in practically no time at all.

2.Capacity

One thing that someone that drinks a lot of coffee may not like is the fact that this is truly a single brew coffee maker. Unlike other single-cup brewers, this does not allow you to add extra water to the reservoir so you can just pop some grounds or a coffee pod (K-Cup) and press start. Here are the size options it offers with its small water reservoir:

• 6oz
• 8oz
• 10oz
• 14oz

However, it does let you select a brew size of up to 14 oz. So, don't worry about needing to brew two different times to fit your travel mug.

• NOTE: If you like to brew for your oversized travel mug, you can skip dirtying a shorter mug to brew into and transferring over. This Sboly single serve coffee maker has a tall enough opening under the dispensing spout that you can easily brew straight into your travel mug.

What Kind Of Coffee Do You Use In the Sboly Single Use Coffee Maker?

When you're deciding what kind of coffee to use in your Sboly single use coffee maker you actually have several different choices depending on your coffee tastes and budget.

Here are the two types of coffee you can use in the Sbloy coffee maker:

1. Coffee Pods (All Standard K-Cup Sized Pods)
2. Ground Coffee

If you have leftover coffee pods from your old coffee maker or if you like to stay energized on a budget, this machine is good for you.

3. Ease Of Use

If you're the kind of person that likes to push a button and see results, you're going to love this Sboly single serve coffee maker. While still completely functional, the number of buttons and levers on this compared to some other machines is quite a relief.

There is also no need to worry about remembering to turn your coffee pot off when you're heading out the door on your way to work or to take the kids to school. When the Sboly single serve coffee maker is done brewing, it will automatically turn off.

What Functions Does It Offer?

While it's not a ton for us to list here as functions, it is still different brewing options that you can interchange as you see fit for how much of a jumpstart you need for your day. There are buttons for:

• Capsule
• Ground

Seriously, that's it. Add the proper amount of water and tap the button to match the coffee of your choice. In about 1 minute the water inside of the machine will heat to the correct temperature for brewing and you'll have coffee instantly.

How To Use This Single Serve Coffee Maker

I don't think it could get much easier than this single cup coffee maker. Its as simple as fill, press, and brew. If you're wanting specific instructions on how to use this Sboly single cup coffee maker, here is how you do it:

• Fill. Add water reservoir
• Add. Place the desired coffee of your choice in the coffee bin
• Place. Put the desired sized coffee cup under the brew spout
• Press. Touch the button for the amount of ounces you want to brew
• Enjoy. Drink a cup of your favorite joe in no time

4. Price

Let me tell you, I was shocked when I saw how much this coffee maker cost. As you may know, single serve machines can be quite a bit more expensive than other traditional coffee makers.

When I looked at the price I had to make sure I wasn't looking at a run of the mill standard brew coffee machine. It beats the competitors by leaps and bounds with affordable pricing.

That being said, you need consider price vs. value when you're buying any kitchen appliance. This Sboly single serve coffee maker is quite practical for someone that enjoys a single cup of coffee or nothing fancy to throw in their travel mug before their commute to work every morning.

If you're someone that expect to be able to brew espresso as well as coffee, or add a froth to the top of your coffee with the help of your coffee maker, this one may not be for you.

What Does It Come With?

The Sboly single serve coffee maker doesn't come with as much as some of the other high end coffee makers I've purchased but it comes with enough to get the job done. Here's what you will find in the box:

• Coffee Maker
• Coffee Pod (K-Cup) holder
• Filter for traditional coffee grounds
• Drip tray

Pros And Cons

After using this shingle use coffee maker several times, I can tell you that this one has a fair amount of pros and cons. I'm going to list them below so you can see if the price is worth the investment for this machine:

Pros

• Small footprint and easy to fit in small living spaces
• Easy to clean
• Versatile to fit your favorite coffee grounds
• Easy enough for any member of your family to use

Cons

• Will only brew a single cup of coffee at a time
• No filling the reservoir ahead of time as it will only hold a maximum of 14 oz
• Will only brew simple coffee blends. So no espresso or cappuccinos

Would I Buy The Sboly Single Serve Coffee Maker?
