I second the Hamilton Beach Flexbrew. There area a couple of different versions, but seem to be priced right and well flexible with brewing options.

Look at the Black and Decker one cup travel coffee maker. Works great with any coffee and only cost about $20.00. Comes with a cup for travel I don't use. Get her an Aladdin 16 ounce white coffee mug. Not good for car as it doesn't fit holders but is now my favorite coffee mug for house and around yard.

My opinion (only if you like "good" coffee) is to forget about the Kureg style coffee makers.
I've used many methods over the years, and as an avid coffee drinker (I work on a ship so there really isn't much else to do) I've found that the best tasting coffee I've made is by using the Aeropress which was mentioned earlier.
For pure simplicity though, I've found the "Finum Brewing Basket" to be the most simplistic, although I get a slight bitter taste when using it, vs none at all with the Aeropress.
Aeropress- $30 and the best cup of coffee you'll ever have
Finum Basket- $12 and the same taste as a French press with no moving parts and easier to clean.

We switched from Keurig and a Cuisinart to the Bunn. Seems to work much better - love it.

You'll get even better taste if you ditch the standard paper filters (they absorb the essentials oils) and instead use a micro-mesh stainless steel screen.

I have the Keurig K65. Receive it as a reward. Kids like it. I use Folgers Classic. Started using the Keurig as my "good coffee maker" died after 10yrs.
I use the reusable cup so I can get it the way I want. It works fine but hate to have to make one cup at a time.

Did the same research about three years ago; ended up purchasing the Cuisinart SS-700 Silver Single Serve 'refurbished' for about a hundred bucks and am very satisfied.
I just received from Amazon: 'San Francisco Bay OneCup, Breakfast Blend, 120 Single Serve Coffees' for $42.51 prime delivered ($36.13 with a 15% off coupon - about .30/cup) I like this brand as it has less plastic and tastes alright.

Yes it will.
