how did the coffee maker get its name
Not coffee makers themselves, no. But the factory that produces the electricity to make the coffee machine work, does.
I have typically seen pod coffee makers in hotels. They use a senso pot ( coffee in a circle filter). Pod coffee makers make coffee much quicker than typical coffee makers, but the taste isn't as potent.
Yes, many coffee makers across the market make coffee by the cup. The advantage to these coffee makers is that on can brew a single cup of coffee in less than one minute. This is time efficient and economically savvy.
Most coffee makers make 12 cups of coffee. A small coffee maker will make approximately 4 cups. There are some coffee makers that will make a single cup of coffee but on average they will produce 4 cups of coffee.
Bosch is a fairly well known brand for coffee makers, and they do make multiple varieties of coffee makers. To find more information on what types of coffee makers they have available you can check their site at: http://www.boschcoffeemaker.net/
The Braun KF600 is a 12 cup coffee maker so it is not similar to the Keurig system which is made to make a single cup of coffee each time. The Braun KF600 does get excellent ratings and would be useful for making larger quantities of coffee.
Most coffee makers can make one cup of coffee at a time, but can make them very quickly as necessary.
For the most part, coffee makers are used to make coffee. However, you can also not fill the hopper portion and use it to make hot water for other beverages (such as tea or hot chocolate).
Several companies like KitchenAid, Kenmore, Kuerig, Hamilton Beach and Cuisinart all make red coffee makers. Most companies that make coffee makers make them in red.
There are many different coffee makers that make coffee and espresso and also steam milk. Krups makes a good model and it is very reasonably priced.
All coffee makers by design will dispense coffee into a coffee cup or mug.
