Breville BKC600XL BEST SINGLE CUP ON THE MARKET

Breville BKC600XL machine has it all. Do you want choices? You’ve got them like crazy with this single cup brewer: coffee, tea, or hot chocolate. Choose your own ground coffee or pre-portioned packs from brewers like Gloria Jean’s, Celestial Seasonings, Tully’s, Green Mountain, or Caribou…to name a few. It’s amazing to be able to press a single button for Kona coffee, Masala Chai tea, something flavored like mocha java or vanilla caramel and absolutely nothing to clean afterwards…unless you use your own ground coffee in which case the cleanup is a quick rinse of an individual filter cup.

I’ve tried nearly every single cup out there and nothing I’ve tried compares in taste, versatility, durability and options. Speaking of options, I forgot to mention that you can select 4 different sizes of beverage. Naturally the smallest cup will be the most robust since it uses the least water. The size range is between 5.25 oz and 11.25 oz. Oh, and temperature. You select the brewing temperature between 187 - and 192 degrees in single degree increments.

Now I know looks alone shouldn’t be a deciding factor but if it were, the Breville BKC600XL would take that category too. When you turn it on, blue lights illuminate the LED screen and the water tank. If your water level gets low, the blue light in the tank will flash–no annoying beeps or alarms. You can add water while it runs or remove the tank to fill and replace when finished. The unit comes with a water filter, 18 sample single portion coffee blends, and a grounds filter cup and scoop which store right inside the machine.

Breville BKC600XL is a new machine so there weren’t any reviews at Amazon yet when I was researching it but I got to play with a demonstrator at Williams Sonoma and was convinced right away. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase and everyone who tries it wants one too. Fantastic machine!
