Hrelec CMK001 2-Way Single Serve Coffee Maker

Hrelec CMK001 Single Serve is the product this guide examines: a two way single serve coffee maker that boils the water in 30 seconds and keeps its counter print to a 6 inch width.

Hrelec CMK001 2-Way Single Serve Coffee Maker

The machine runs on two paths at once. A 10 cup K-Cup drops into the holder for the quick cup, or you pour 10 g of loose grounds into the basket for a measured brew. Behind both paths, the 800 w element pulls the 20 oz tank up to heat in 30 seconds, and the whole assembly fits into a 1.2 kg body that is 6 inches wide, so it sits on a small counter without crowding the other appliances. What the guide covers is how the two paths fit together: what each dose brings to the machine, how the heat behaves on both sides, where the iced pour sits in the routine, and how the dimensions decide where the maker can live.

The tank and the fast heat

Speed comes from the element: the 800 w part brings the 20 oz tank of water to temperature in about 30 seconds, which is the window every brew in this guide runs on. Because the tank is the only water source, its size sets how much you can make before refilling, and the 12 oz mug is the standard vessel waiting under the spout for the finished cup. The tank is sized to feed the largest cup without getting so big that the machine crowds the counter, which is why the tank, the element, and the cycle are read together here: each one constrains the other two.

The pod and the ground

Each path wants its own dose. The pod path takes the 10 cup K-Cup, and the ground path takes the 10 g scoop, so the machine shifts from drop-in convenience to measured brewing without changing anything on the body. The holder takes a pod one at a time, and the basket takes a scoop one at a time, which is why the maker is a single serve device rather than a small pot machine. Both doses finish in the same 30 second cycle, and the 6 inch width is what keeps the pod holder clear of the counter edge.

The iced cup

For the iced pour, the 12 oz cup goes over the tray load of 8 ice cubes. The tray sits under the spout for the cold drink, and the 20 oz tank still supplies the brew, so the 30 second cycle does not change. The finished drink is a chilled 12 oz cup ready to take with you, and the 16 oz travel mug works for it when you want the colder version on the go.

The rapid heat technology

All of the rapid heat starts at the 800 w element. It warms the 20 oz tank for the 30 second heat up, and the 1.2 kg body is where it sits, so the power is contained in a small frame. The tank and the 12 oz mug are the two amounts the frame holds, and the 6 inch width is the counter print that keeps all of it out of the way. Because the element lives inside the body, nothing about the heating stands up on the counter; what the kitchen sees is the frame and the spout, not the hardware that makes the speed.

The cup math

Counter space decides what fits, and the 6 inch width is the number that clears the shelf. The 800 w element handles the heat, warming the 20 oz tank for a 30 second cycle. On the pod path the 10 cup K-Cup drops in, and on the ground path you set out 10 g of coffee. Three sizes cover the range: an 8 oz cup, a 12 oz cup, and the 16 oz travel mug, and they all share the 30 second cycle. The morning routine is the 20 oz tank filling, the 1.2 kg body staying on the counter, and the drink landing in whatever vessel is set under the spout.

The numbers that matter

The figures above keep circling, so this is how they connect: the 800 w element drives the 30 second heat, and the 20 oz tank is the water source behind every cup. The doses split between the 10 cup K-Cup and the 10 g scoop, and the cup sizes run from the 8 oz cup through the 12 oz cup to the 16 oz travel mug. The iced version uses the 12 oz pour over the 8 ice cube load, and everything fits inside the 6 inch print and the 1.2 kg body.

The two paths through one machine

The 2-Way label comes from running a 10 cup K-Cup and a scoop of grounds through the same body. When speed is the point, the pod drops into the holder, and when the brew matters more than the minute, the 10 g scoop goes into the basket instead. Both paths share the 800 w element and the 20 oz tank, so the 30 second cycle holds no matter which dose is loaded.

The three brew sizes run from an 8 oz cup to a 12 oz cup to the 16 oz travel mug, and the 6 inch width keeps the maker on a narrow shelf beside the 1.2 kg body. The iced path pours its 12 oz cup over the 8 ice cube load, while the hot path keeps the travel mug under the spout for the drink that follows.

For a kitchen that wants one small machine for both a quick pod and a measured scoop, the numbers line up tightly: a 20 oz tank, a 12 oz mug, a 10 cup K-Cup, a 10 g scoop, and the 30 second cycle that both paths share.

The sheet to remember

The counter buys a 6 inch footprint and a 1.2 kg body, and the 16 oz travel mug fits under the spout. The ground path takes the 10 g scoop, and the pod path takes the 10 cup K-Cup, while the 800 w element keeps the 30 second cycle steady and the 20 oz tank feeds every brew.

Keeping the two paths clean

Both paths leave behind their own residue. The pod holder holds the ground pod after the cycle, and the basket keeps the used grounds, so rinsing each part after a brew keeps the next cup from tasting the last one. The holder rinses out quickly because it is a single open part, while the basket has the small recesses the grounds settle into, so the ground path is the one that wants a careful rinse rather than a quick shake. The tank and the 12 oz mug get the same attention too: a thin water film left in the tank is the usual source of the stale note that shows up in the next morning cup.

The ice and the tray

The iced path adds one part to the routine: the tray load of 8 ice cubes that sits under the spout while the hot water works over it. The tray is where those cubes sit, and it is the piece that separates the iced pour from the hot one, so it gets emptied and rinsed after the cold drink as often as the holder gets rinsed after the pod. The 16 oz travel mug takes the iced drink out of the kitchen, and the 6 inch width is what keeps the tray, the tray load, and the 12 oz cup clear of the counter edge while all of it happens.
