Best Keurig Coffee Makers

Detailed List of the Top Keurig Models

1. Keurig K-Classic - Best Keurig Coffee Maker

If you enjoy a good cup of coffee, without having to waste unnecessary time, then Keurig K55 K-Classic is a great option worth considering. It takes only about 30 seconds to heat up, and 30 more to get coffee into your cup - leaving hardly anything to complain.

For the best bang for your buck, get the K-Classic.

This model is by far the best in terms of value in the Keurig line, with many bells and whistles to fall in love with. It features a fairly large water reservoir too - holding up 48 ounces and allowing you to brew about 6 standard cups back-to-back.

The ease of use alone is a pretty good reason to buy it. Everything from filling the detachable tank to brewing and cleaning is child’s play. It also comes with clear-cut instructions, so you don’t have to worry about which button stands for which.

K-Classic is not only compatible with Keurig pods of any brand, but can also be used with ground coffee! All you need is to switch the K-cup holder with your favourite ground coffee filter, and you’d be good to go!

A beauty to look at, this machine comes in two attractive colours - black and red. Neither of them are small, with a footprint of at 13.2 by 10.1 by 13.3 inches. Additionally, you’d love the auto-off feature. It’d be great for a person who is always on the run.

2. Keurig K-Elite - Premium Choice

Keurig K-Elite is a premium-quality coffee maker for those who want to brew and enjoy a delicious cup of Joe in style. It’s also highly flexible, offering you the option to brew many other varieties of beverages.

A high-end machine for high-end users.

If there’s one thing everyone agrees on, it would be the futuristic looks of Keurig K-Elite. Made up of brushed gold, silver and slate, it can steal all the attention from your kitchen.

What makes us rank it the ‘Best of The Best’ is not merely the looks. We covered many other areas including the 5 different cup sizes offered, the time taken to brew, and of course - the durability and taste of the brew.

In fact: it scores high on the ease of use, specially since it features a touch control panel, an auto-off feature, and adjustable temperature control along with a digital clock. It is also flexible and can be used with K-cups and your own coffee grounds without a hassle.

The water tank, on the other hand, is pretty big with a 75-ounce capacity and easy to refill through the hinged front opening. It doesn’t have a filter of its own, but comes with a holder. It also has a de-scale indicator that’d be helpful when its time for a clean-up.

Though not uncommon, you get only a 1-year limited warranty to back your purchase. So don’t forget to clean it up after every use, and take good care from day one to lengthen its lifespan.

3. Keurig K250 - Best Advanced

Lean and tall, Keurig K250 doesn’t hog a lot of space - making it a great option for almost any household. It’s still flexible enough to brew 4 cup sizes and 3 carafe sizes in your own customized way. The price is affordable too, making it a must-buy.

Keurig K250 is a slender beauty at its prime.

Keurig K250 is for those don’t want to spend a pretty penny for a high-end coffee maker, without compromising coffee quality to get there. It doesn’t feature many boastful bells and whistles such as a programmable timer, but still includes what’s necessary to make your brewing experience less painful.

The Strength Control, for one, allows you to pick the ideal coffee taste and texture so that you can have your eyes roll to the back of your head as you drink it.

However, no temperature control or an auto-off feature is found in this model.

Instead of a flashy touch-screen control panel, it comes with a black and white screen - creating hardly any difference into your ultimate cup. It lacks nothing in terms of style or build-quality either, so that you don’t have to worry about it feeling ‘cheap.’

The size of Keurig K250 is both admirable and convenient because it’s going to save you some much-needed counter space. However, to do so, the capacity of the water chamber has been traded off.

Instead of 60 or so ounces, It can hold only up to 40 ounces of water.

Isn’t a deal breaker in our opinion. But note that Keurig K250 can brew only 4, 6, 8 and 10-cups. It doesn’t have the standard 12-ounce size. However, it can brew K-mugs and K-carafes too.

4. Keurig K145 OfficePRO - Best for Office

Advertised for heavy-duty office use, Keurig K145 OfficePRO is the definition of longevity. It’s also fast, efficient and brews an excellent cup every time. We hold nothing back from recommending it to serve your office.

“Fast, efficient and built with longevity on mind.”

Office coffee has gained popularity for its burnt and foul taste.

Thanks to Keurig K145 OfficePRO, it’ll no longer be true.

Specifically designed for office use, OfficePRO is known to sustain heavy, daily abuse with a longer pump life. It’s bulkier and more durable than an average home model. Though it doesn’t come with many bells and whistles, the longevity beats everything else.

It has 3 cup settings from 6-10 ounces and a convenient 48-ounce water chamber. The water chamber can be removed for refills and features a ‘Drain brewer’ option that allows you to completely drain the brewer.

After the initial heat-up, which takes no longer than a minute, brewing is done superfast in less than 30 seconds. What’s more: Along with a wide variety of coffee, OfficePRO can also brew hot chocolate, tea, iced beverages and just plain hot water!

The absence of Quiet Brew Technology in this machine makes it operate louder than a home model. But keep in mind that it comes with the benefit of a stronger pump and a faster brew that’ll end up making you forget all about the noise!

The common gripe related to OfficePRO comes from the inability to use reusable K-cups. All you need is to perform a simple trick by pulling out the plastic piece that says "Caution Sharp Needles" - and you’d be good to go.

5. Keurig K-Mini - Best Compact Pick

As the name itself suggests, Keurig K-Mini is a space-saving unit, ideal for studio apartments and kitchens with limited space. It can be used to brew not only coffee, but also tea and hot chocolate super fast. The price is well-balanced too - and will leave you nothing more to ask for.

When space and portability become important - Get the K-Mini.

Never had enough room to accommodate a coffee maker? Well, not anymore.This model ensures you brew your favourite cup even in the tiniest corner of your kitchen countertop.

Clocking in at 12.1'' H x 4.5'' W x 11.3'' D, it can serve one cup at a time, at 3 varying sizes. The removable drip tray allows even travel mugs with an average 7-inch height to fit right in.

To make this compact size a reality, the manufacturers have removed the convenience of a high-capacity water reservoir - which means you need to refill it with every cup.

It doesn’t boast many features either, which is expected given the size.

It features an automatic shut-off system - enabling you to put your worries to rest if you happen to leave your kitchen without a backward glance.

The functionality of this unit caught us by surprise - eventually creating its way into our list. It can complete a brew cycle, including water heating, in just under 2 minutes. The ability to brew from your own grounds would definitely thrill you too. However, you need to purchase a filter separately.
