Reverse engineering a problem is always fun, and it looks like someone over at MAKE has posted just how to do this with the Braun Tassimo T1200/T1400 hot beverage system.

We don’t think this desktop coffee maker we found over at Firebox really fits the single serve coffee profile, but it does make one or two cups of coffee using - yes - ground coffee.

If you’re not familiar with the Clover ( read our earlier review here ) it’s really the ultimate cafe single serve coffee machine, allowing for small batches and a tasting menu of coffees because each cup of coffee matched with a unique coffee can be made one cup at a time.

In what is sure to amount to more K Cups for all of us, Green Mountain Coffee has announced plans to acquire Tully’s Coffee. We didn’t see this one coming, but if it means more K Cups and growth of the Tully’s brand alongside the Green Mountain Coffee brand, we’ll take it.

Sure you can read it on the web, but isn’t single serve coffee a bit hotter on a wireless reading device?

If you’re the owner of a Keurig Elite B40 Brewer , Keurig B50 , Keurig Special Edition Ultra Elite B60 , Keurig B70 Brewer , Breville BKC600XL Gourmet Single Cup Brewer , or other Keurig K Cup brewer, you may want to take the time to visit the Green Mountain Cafe Blog and tell them what K-Cup they should make next.

The Obama or McCain K Cups will work in your Keurig Elite B40 Brewer , Keurig B50 , Keurig Special Edition Ultra Elite B60 , Keurig B70 Brewer , Breville BKC600XL Gourmet Single Cup Brewer , and other Keurig K Cup brewers.

Oh well, that didn’t happen, but right now Starbucks is in a turn-around stage - with new products like the Clover (which we reviewed this year), and of course new offerings for the upcoming Bosch Tassimo .

We found the serving size to also be perfect at just 130 calories - so more of a treat to you sans sugar and cream single serve coffee drinkers out there.
