The Tassimo one cup brewing system draws on Kraft’s global scale and sells T-discs under brands most Americans will easily recognize (Maxwell House) and several of Kraft’s better-known international brands (Kenco and Jacobs). Teas from Tazo and Twinings of London and delicious hot chocolate from Suchard are also available in T Discs.

CoffeeReview.com, the world’s leading coffee buying guide, has reviewed a variety of T-Discs. But be aware, Tassimo no longer offers Starbucks-branded T Discs. In March 2011, Starbucks elected to not continue their relationship with Tassimo and signed a licensing agreement with Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc instead, allowing for the production of Starbucks-branded K-Cups.

Popular One-Cup Coffee Brewers

We’re here to help you decide which one cup coffee maker you might like best. Then, once you make your decision, we’ll try to provide more information to help answer questions about your single cup brewing choice.

We do know of a few different sources that have compared different one cup coffee makers. Recently, CoffeeReview.com, the world’s leading coffee buying guide, tested a number of single cup coffee brewers. They seemed to prefer the Keurig K-Cup system and the Nespresso capsule system.

In addition to consistently brewing great coffee, these one cup coffee makers are engineered to be quick, easy-to-use, and clean. An article in Popular Mechanics compared eight popular single cup brewing systems to see which brewers best lived up to their promise of quick, delicious coffee.

Finally, from time to time, we look at how often internet users search for the different one cup brewing systems on Google. If you use this to measure the popularity of each of the systems, then Keurig is the leader followed by Tassimo. Coffee pods were a common search term a few years ago, but have seemed to have lost much of their popularity since.

If you’re looking for favorites, though, we can give you some pointers. At Keurig’s website, you can sort K Cups by both all-time and weekly popularity. Donut Shop Extra Bold and Green Mountain Breakfast Blend lead the all-time list; Newman’s Own Special Blend, Green Mountain Nantucket Blend, and Green Mountain Hot Cocoa are popular KCups as well.
