Mr. Coffee's Iced & Hot Coffeemaker is on sale at Amazon

I am a big coffee drinker, but no one else in my household is. That has led me on a search to find a coffee maker that brews a delicious single cup. There are plenty of pod coffeemakers to get around that full-pot problem, but I was searching for an option that would produce less waste. I found Mr. Coffee's Iced & Hot Coffeemaker, and nearly two years later, I'm still happily brewing my single cups of hot and iced coffee every day.

If you're like me and your day doesn't start until you've had your cup of joe, this is an excellent option for a single-serve machine, and lucky for you, it's currently on sale.

Perfectly brewed coffee in under four minutes? Tell me more!

One of my favorite features is how compact this machine is. Clocking in at just 7"x10"x16", this single-server takes up very little space on my counter, and in under four minutes, I can be sipping up to 16 ounces of hot or 22 ounces of iced coffee. Another great feature is the reusable filter, which allows me to brew coffee without the use of pods. I can pour my ground beans right into the filter using the included scoop. I fill the reservoir with water and within minutes, I have a perfectly brewed hot cup coffee.

For iced coffee, it comes with a handy to-go tumbler, which has markings to take the guesswork out of how much water and ice to add for the ideal ratio. I can brew my coffee right in the tumbler using the "Over Ice" setting.

This small yet mighty coffeemaker has over 2,000 perfect five-star ratings from Amazon customers, so you know it's doing something right.

"Better than Keurig," confessed a Mr. Coffee convert. "This is a fantastic alternative for a single-serving coffeemaker and I love that it can do both hot and iced drinks. ... I cannot recommend this machine highly enough if you're trying to use a coffee machine with less waste and make a nice iced drink in the summer heat."

It's even barista-approved: "I got this because we love coffee and drink it every day. And I’m picky about my iced coffees," wrote one connoisseur. "My drinks taste the same as they did in the shop! This thing will save money and time. Also, I love that it doesn’t require K-cups or pods, reducing plastic waste. ... Now I have to break up with my favorite coffee shops."

"Only takes a minute to set up and you have a freshly brewed cup of ice-cold coffee in under three minutes," raved a happy customer. "Easy to clean and doesn’t take up much counter space ... and it comes with its own travel mug and reusable straw! Well worth the price! It saves so much money not having to stop at Starbucks or Dunkin'."

Extras like the reusable filter, double-sided scoop, recipe guide and travel tumbler make this deal even more impressive.
