Single Serve Holiday Gift Guide Revisited

Holidayshoppingguide Readers are continually writing in to ask our opinion this year on what to buy this Holiday Season. We provided this Holiday Shopping Guide in November, but it's obvious everyone didn't their shopping done right away. Shame on you!

If you need some quick picks many of the items below are available online or offline at Target, Williams Sonoma, Amazon, and other places. Offline Williams Sonoma is a great place to find Keurig and Nespresso. Target will have the Senseo, Home Cafe, and their own Juan Valdez set of brewers.

The world of Single Serve Coffee can be a bit overwhelming when trying to find the right gift for that special someone over the holidays so be patient. We've put together a price based gift guide along with our reviews and thoughts on the coffee drinker you might be buying for this holiday season.

Images-12 Over $500 - Nespresso Romeo Bundle - Review

We recommend the Nespresso Romeo. It comes with a set of Nespresso capsules that you just can't beat for flavor and taste.

Total: $800 in Kitchen & Housewares

If the higher priced Romeo is too much but you still want to go with the Nespresso take at look at the Nespresso Essenza for $179.99

Images-2-4 Under $205 - Bunn My Cafe Bundle - Review

We recommend the Bunn My Cafe coffee brewer and a set of the Aloha Island Coffee pods. If you want to get into the world of higher end coffee pod based machines you can't get much better than the Bunn.

Total: $195+33-$25 Off in Kitchen & Housewares + FREE Shipping = $202.94

Images-3-3 $150 and Under - Keurig B50 Bundle - Keurig Impressions

We recommend the Keurig B50 and a set of the Dark Magic Roast K-Cups from Green Mountain. We've enjoyed the auto-on feature of the B50 and the diversity of coffee you can get from Green Mountain, Timothy's, Van Houtte, and other roasters.

Total: 149.95 + 9.95 - 25 Off in Kitchen & Housewares + FREE Shipping = $134.90

Images-1-3 Under $100 - Senseo Bundle - Review

We recommend the Senseo (in black of course) and a extra set of Senseo Dark Roast pods. The Senseo is a great all around brewer. We've had our Senseo for two years and it's still going strong.

Total: $45.50 + $16.99 + FREE Shipping = $72.49

Coffee Gadgets & Accessories

We think you'll love frothing milk or making hot milk with your single serve coffee. We love our BonJour Caffe Froth Turbo at $12.99 it's a perfect stocking stuffer. We also love the Froth Xpress for making hot milk!

Good luck and good shopping!

Update: The Prices have been adjusted per reader feedback and now the Froth XPress is out of stock!
