Review: Melitta MES5B Javapod Single Serve Coffee Brewer System

There's a new Melitta One:One single serve coffee pod brewer in town - the Melitta MES5B Javapod Single Serve Coffee Brewer System. It's nice to see Melitta join the rest of the single serve coffee pod world, and offer a brewer with a reduced price and the ability to use any 62mm coffee pod. The machine has been totally redesigned from the earlier Melitta One:One - one of the first coffee pod brewers available in the US, and we think many of the choices in the new design are quite good.

The box design and machine are more straight forward than the earlier One:One

One of the big changes is the ability to use a single pod or use the double pod holder. Also the electronics are a bit different - with brew sizes in the 5, 8, and 14 oz range. We wish they would have gone with 12 oz - on the 14 oz size it's hard to get a really good cup of single serve coffee, but overall these changes are nice additions. The hidden cord storage is nice, and the overall footprint of the machine is on par with other single serve coffee makers, but a bit narrower.

Unboxing the Melitta MES5B Javapod Single Pod Coffee Brewer System

The MES5B has a redesigned box as well.

We promised you an unboxing of the Melitta MES5B Javapod Single Pod Coffee Brewer System, and we keep our word. The unit comes packed with very little except what you need to brew a cup of single serve coffee using a coffee pod. We do like the overall design, and the coffee pod holders, along with the brewing chamber are nicely designed.

The new Melitta MES5B JavaPod brewer

The Melitta MES5B Javapod Single Pod Coffee Brewer System is in the Single Serve Coffee test kitchen, and so far we like what we see.

Melitta MES2B One:One Single Serve Coffeemaker

It really seems like we haven't mentioned one of our favorite single serve coffee makers in quite awhile - the Melitta MES2B One:One Single Serve Coffeemaker. The Melitta MES2B One:One Single Serve Coffeemaker has seen quite a few upgrades since we last reviewed the machine including a larger pod holder which can take the more standard 62 mm coffee pod over the original 55 mm coffee pods Melitta offered.

Kona Blend Coffee Pods for Melitta One:One

We were visiting CoffeeWiz.com this morning and came across the new Melitta Kona Blend Coffee Pods for Melitta MES2R One:One Single Serve Coffee Maker.

According to CoffeeWhiz.com it's been over 2 years since Melitta has released new coffee pods for the One:One and they're right. We reviewed the One:One just over 2 years ago and have they have never released any new flavors.

Get 'em while you can. We'll follow up on these and see what other single serve coffee machines they'll work in.

Got a Salton Espresso Machine or Melitta One:One? Get Some Help

Sometimes we post something that gets so into Google and other search engines that you couldn't imagine the types of comments it can dredge up, or needs it would fulfill, or better yet the shear power the entry would have in bringing people in need together - especially coffee drinkers.

Last year we posted that the maker of Melitta One:One - Salton Inc. was having a few financial difficulties. It was one of those posts we put up to keep everyone here at Single Serve Coffee.com aware of the choices they've been making when buying a single serve coffee machine. Now if you Google "salton trouble" - we end up being #1. From being #1 in just about every search engine, the post has brought together over 99+ commenters who have missing manuals, need spare parts, and all kinds of other interesting tidbits.

We've called Salton several times and they're always interested in helping out everyone which is great. We've even updated the post with the phone number and email and the comments keep coming and you know what? We'll take them. It's pretty exciting to help so many people out, and perhaps after they get the manual, they'll finally be able to make a perfect cup of single serve coffee.

FYI: Salton replacement parts and owners manuals can be ordered at 800-233-9054 or by emailing Consumer Relations at: consumer_relations@toastmaster.com

Melitta One:One - A Better Way to Make Coffee Commercial

You've got to see this gem of a commercial for the MelittaOne:One Single Serve Coffee Maker. After getting no less than 10 emails about it we ventured over to FlickeringIgloo and had a viewing. Genius. We do believe this will make your morning and your morning cup of coffee every time. :-)

Review: LilyPod Microwavable Single Cup Coffee Pod Mug from Single Serve Coffee.com

We've been testing the LilyPod over the past several weeks and we'll say this right up front - results have been varied. The LilyPod Microwave Brew Mug supposedly brews up a nice cup of joe in 3 minutes or and that means less mess and the convenience of using whatever flavor pod you'd like to throw into it. The big factor here is the microwave.

We have had less than stunning results with the Single Serve Coffee.com microwave but have had better results at our friends house. Each time we use the Lilypod with the exact directions and try a microwave the results have been different. It's like we're making microwave popcorn and not coffee, but we do believe it makes sense the results are so varied.

If you've ever cooked in a microwave oven anything like popcorn, perhaps a Lean Cuisine, or even poached some eggs - you'll know that finding the right power setting and time to cook is important for YOUR MICROWAVE. We have found this to be the case with the LilyPod. We simply could not find a great setting for our Microwave but did find some decent ones with other less powerful microwave ovens. That being said, the coffee produced each time was not great coffee.

Melitta One:One LilyPod Microwave Brew Mug Arrives for Review

What's better than single serve coffee? Well - single serve microwave coffee! We're not totally sure on that just yet, but the new LiliPod Microwave Coffee Pod Brew Mug has arrived - actually two of them.

We purchased both the red and the blue one just because we have to have them. We never thought that after a year we'd have a microwave single serve coffee mug and it's well - exciting. The LilyPod Microwave Brew Mug supposedly brews up a nice cup of joe in 3 minutes or so and that means less mess and whatever flavor pod you'd like to throw into it. Nice. We'll have a full review in the next week or so. And - YES - it says you can make espresso and cappuccino in it. We'll be the judge of that.

New Melitta One:One Microwaveable Coffee Pod Mug Brewer

Now we're talking. Everyone here at Single Serve Coffee was wondering when someone would figure you might be able to brew up a single serve cup of coffee using a single mug. It looks like Melitta has figured it out with their new Melitta One:One Microwaveable Coffee Pod Mug Brewer. The mugs come in both red and blue and will make coffee, espresso (can it really make espresso?), and tea by inserting a pod into the mug and microwaving for 2-3 minutes. The mug comes with 18 Melitta Javapods when you order it from Melitta online.

We'll be tracking down some of these mugs and expect a full review soon.

Review: Arabica Express Coffee Pods from Podhead.com for Melitta One:One

Recently Jay asked me to test out the Arabica Express Podhead.com coffee pods for the Melitta One:One. I've done a few reviews for Single Serve Coffee.com over the past year including a re-review of the Melitta One:One so I know this machine intimately. Actually the Melitta One:One is my daily coffee machine of choice and I look forward to the red little wonder every morning.

Jay was paricularly interested in seeing how the coffee pods did with the Melitta One: One. He had recently done a review of the Podhead.com AE Sensation coffee pods using the Bunn My Cafe and loved them. So Sit back, relax, grab a cup, and I'll tell you all about my experience the Arabica Express Coffee Pods for the Melitta One:One:

JavaPodz Coffee Pods Review from Single Serve Coffee.com

JavaPodz was kind enough to send us an extensive sampler pack of all of their pods. We decided this morning to fire up the Senseo and have a go with the new pods. JavaPodz are compatible with the following systems (mostly of the 62mm variety):

• Philips Senseo™
• B&D® Home Cafe™
• Mr.Coffee® Home Cafe™
• Melitta One: One Pod Brewing System
• Bunn® MyCafe™
• AquaBrew® Cafejo™
• Grindmaster® PrecisionBrew™
• Juan Valdez Pod Brewing System

The pods came packed in a coffee bag with a JavaPodz logo applied with a sticker on the front of the bag. Inside each JavaPodz pod is individually wrapped in a silver foil bag with black printing. Like Baronet, JavaPodz pods are:

** Each 10gram Java Pod brews a full 8 oz cup of coffee**
