The Makers
Step one: Have a coffee pot! I've tried a few but find I like single cup makers the best- that way I'm not worried about having leftovers. This list contains affiliate links. I may earn a small commission if you purchase through them—at no extra cost...
This is my current coffee maker- I actually picked mine up from an estate sale but I would absolutely buy it again at full price if mine ever broke. The milk frother is a great feature for when I want to play around with making a fancy latte.
K-Café® Special Edition Single Serve Coffee Latte & Cappuccino Maker | Keurig
Running low on space? This model got me through college! It's super small and doesn't have a reservoir tank that takes up space. Just put your preferred amount of water in each time and it'll make the perfect cup of coffee.
K-Mini® Single Serve Coffee Maker | Keurig
On a budget? This mainstays brewer works with K-cups and is perfect for those with limited funds.

The Coffee
One of my biggest critiques of K-cups is their environmental waste. I prefer to use a reusable cup with pre-ground coffee. Either way, here are my recs!
These reusable k-cups are my go-to. I've been using my same set for over 3 years now and never had an issue!
Perfect Pod Cafe Save Reusable K Cup Pod Coffee Filters - Refillable Coffee Pod Capsules for Use with Keurig & Select Single Cup Coffee Machines, 4-Pack
This is my top pick for pre-ground coffee! I think the flavor works well with the instant brew feature and it makes a great base for my add-ins.
Starbucks Blonde Light Roast Ground Coffee — Veranda Blend — 100% Arabica — 1 bag (12 oz.)
If I'm running short on time and need to grab a pre-made cup, I like these IHOP cups. They are always smooth and never leave a bitter aftertaste!
IHOP Medium Roast Signature Blend Keurig K-Cup Coffee Pods, 10 ct Box
If you like to have your grounds already flavored, I recommend these! They have several flavors and I haven't found a single one that I don't like.

The Add-Ins
Okay- I'll admit that I'm a girl who likes a little coffee with her cream. Here's what I use to get that flavor I'm looking for.
One of my all time favorite flavors! It's dairy free and zero sugar. (And I pinky promise coconut coffee is much better than it sounds)
Nestle Coffee Mate Zero Sugar Coconut Creme Liquid Coffee Creamer, 32 fl oz Bottle
If dairy isn't a problem for you, Chobani is your girl! I love their sweet cream flavor, and they always have some A+ seasonal options, especially in the fall!
Chobani Sweet Cream Dairy Creamer - 24 fl oz
Sometimes I prefer to use plain cream- on those days I love to use syrups to add some flavor. Any of the Jordan's Skinny Mix syrups are a go-to for me. They're zero calorie and have a TON of variety.
Sugar Free Hazelnut Syrup
Torani is another favorite brand for my syrups! They also have tons of flavors with sugar-free and full sugar options.
Torani Vanilla Bean Syrup
I've been on a weight loss journey lately, so I'm trying to add in protein wherever I can! I love mixing half of a protein shake in my morning coffee- this one has been my favorite flavor recently!

The Accessories
Alright, now you have a great coffee- now here are my favorite accessories to make the process a little more fun!
Syrup pumps have been a game changer for me- I never have to worry about how much I'm putting in. These are nearly universal and work with most 750ml syrups.
Coffee Syrup Pump Dispenser, 6 Pack Syrup Pump for 750ml/25.4 oz Syrup Bottle, Gold Pumps for Coffee Syrup Bottle, works with Torani, DaVinci, Jordans Skinny 750ml Syrups Bottles (Gold)
When I'm at home I prefer using a stadium cup for my coffee… but when I have to take it to go I love this BruMate tumbler. It's leak proof and has a built in straw so I'm not looking for one when I need it. And it fits in most cup holders!
Era 40oz | Lilac Dusk
I always need a straw- but we save the turtles in this household. I love these glass options!
Better Homes and Gardens Clear Borosilicate Glass Straws 4 Pack with Cleaning Brush
No ice? No problem! This countertop ice maker is a great option for those who don't have an ice maker in their freezer. It makes batches super quickly!

Single-cup coffee makers can be hard to clean. I love this kit for deep cleaning my machine every few months.
