A mere $20 buys you a coffee maker that can handle K-Cups or your own grind.

 Sboly

A Keurig Mini single-serve coffee maker will run you around $80 -- maybe $65 if you happen to catch a sale (like the one at Target right now). Do you really need to spend that much to brew a single cup of coffee? And what if you want to use your favorite grind instead of a K-Cup? (In my experience, the Keurig makers do not fare well with those BYO-coffee inserts.)

Here's an easy answer to all that: For a limited time, and while supplies last, the Sboly single-serve coffee maker is just $19.97 when you clip the on-page $5-off coupon and then apply promo code M8P4DZWZ at checkout. It's sold by PRO Care via Amazon; if you see a different seller listed, the coupon and code won't work.

This compact brewer can accommodate either ground coffee or K-Cups. Then just fill it with up to 14 ounces of water and hit the power button.

Here's the key limitation: It's not large enough to accommodate most travel mugs -- anything taller than 5 inches. You could brew into a standard mug and then dump it into your Yeti or Contigo, but that's kind of a hassle.

Still: $20. And I'll note that I recently started using a larger version of this very product, one that does have room for a travel mug. (I'll let you know the next I time I see that for less than $55, the current price.) It's been working well, and in fact it's now my go-to choice for ground coffee. (I'm kind of done with K-Cups; quality beans taste so much better -- and produce so much less waste.)
