Can you believe that an American inventor turned his Keurig coffee maker into a bionic hand? How versatile! Maybe the next time instead of morning coffee I’ll go on my Keurig to space, who knows! But for now, let’s focus on coffee.
We’ve examined 25 models and selected 8 best Keurig coffee makers. Our favourite is Keurig K-Elite Coffee Maker. Our first consideration was strength control as it allows you to make coffee as strong or weak as you like it. Next, we looked at water tank capacity as a larger tank means less time spent refilling. Additionally, we examined the overall brewer dimensions and cup size selection for your convenience and more versatility in brewing. Finally, we included models with an auto shut-off function to save on your energy bills.

Keurig K-Elite takes the lead in our best Keurig coffee maker of the day because of many substantive reasons. To start with, the coffee maker comes with one of the largest tanks. The water reservoir has the capacity to hold up to 75 oz.

This is a good thing since you will not have to repeat the process of preparing more coffee for your family when you do not have enough time in the morning.

Keurig K575 is indeed an upgrade pick because if you choose to buy it, all the complaints we raised on the preceding paragraph will be sorted fast. The coffee maker holds a staggering 80-oz capacity. Our number 2 coffee maker carries 5 oz more water than what our editor’s choice can hold. With the 80-oz capacity, you will be able to prepare 10+ large cups of hot brewed coffee.
When other coffee makers come with one or two temperature controls, Keurig K575 comes with 5 controls. The controls are the reason why it will take you as little as one minute to prepare very hot coffee even when you are really late for work.
You heard that we called this an upgrade pick, right? Another unparalleled reason for saying so is that the coffee maker is fitted with a variety of nighlight colors. The purpose of these nighlight colors is to help improve your kitchen’s interior decor.

Are you tired of hand washing your coffee maker? This is the right option for you. This product is dishwasher friendly. You will save a lot of time with this feature alone. Nonetheless, there is more reasons to get this coffee brewer. For instance, think about the product’s auto shut-off feature. It will help you conserve a lot of energy.

If you own a restaurant, an eatery or prepare coffee for a large number of people, we recommend Keurig K155 Office Pro. The product is one of the world’s best commercial coffee machines Keurig has ever come up with.
You do not have to struggle to turn on or off knobs, or press numerous hard buttons. To ensure your family and visitors enjoy their cup of cappuccino, you only have to pass your fingers on an LCD touch screen. The touch pad is highly sensitive. You will not have to use any amount of your energy as you would use when turning knobs every time you want to use the machine.
Although it is a bit costly, Keurig says the product is “styled to impress.” We agree with the maker of this product because indeed, the 90-ounce water capacity brewer has the ability to hold up to 18 large cups of nicely brewed hot coffee.
The LCD on the touchscreen is full-color. This means the machine changes the color by itself. It also translates that the machine can illuminate your kitchen with whatever color you like.
For easy transporting and storage, this product comes with a simple and quick option to drain and store. Of all Keurig brewers, Keurig K155 Office Pro has been bestowed with this unique ability. You can now move around with your coffee maker if you are always on the move.
You can choose to brew your coffee from the 4 sizes namely 4, 6, 8, and 10-once.
More features: 1-minute brew time, Quiet Brew® technology, removable drip tray, fingerprint resistant exterior, descaling reminder
This is yet another product from Keurig that we love. It has some of the features that we never thought a 52-ounce water capacity coffee machine would. For instance, among other things, we loved the descaling reminder, a rare feature among coffee machines we have researched.
When high-end large capacity coffee makers brew small amounts of coffee, this item comes with 4-cup large size options. The options are 6, 8, 10, and 12-once.
The product does not emit any noise when turned on. This is a nice feature because other machines are reportedly noisy when in operation. You do not want a noisy appliance at 4 am in the morning when you are trying to get some work done.
Although we loved many things about this coffee machine, we did not like the idea that it only prepares 5 small cups then you are forced to refill again. Nonetheless, if you live alone or have a small family, there is no cause for alarm. The five brewed coffee cups are enough.
The simple controls make it easy and fast for anyone to prepare coffee. You only need to insert a pod, choose a cup size that corresponds to the number of people present, and within a minute, your coffee is ready to serve.
We really love the fingerprint resistant materials that are used to create this product.
Inside the box, you will receive among other things, two filters and a 6-count cup. These are to help you jumpstart your coffee brewing.
More features: double water filter, 1-minute brew time, light indication, removable drip tray
It is not essential for a brewer to have several pod sizes to qualify for a good coffee maker. This product comes with only three cup sizes but it is one of the highly-rated Keurig coffee machines. It has 6, 8, and 10-ounce cup size options, with the first cup size mostly used. Remember to buy the appropriate pod since Keurig only works with K-cups and may not be compatible with other pods.
Although with 48-oz water capacity, the brewer has the ability to prepare up to 6 cups. The other good thing about this item is designed in a manner that allows you remove the reservoir, something that allows for easy refilling, transportation, cleaning, and storage.
It is very important to clean your brewer. To help you do this with ease thus increase the coffee maker’s lifespan, Keurig K55 comes with a descaling feature. The feature allows you to easily remove any harmful deposits such as calcium from the brewer.
The product comes with 3 different filters to help you sieve the water to the brewer container and ensure the brewed coffee tastes great. In addition to the filters, the item comes with 4 k cup pods.

Are you a staunch coffee drinker? If taking coffee from home or office isn’t a problem for you, then all you need is the most compact, all-in-one coffee machine. The most interesting part of this product is that it fits in any place. Yes, whether it is in your kitchen shelf, desk drawer in the office, or inside your backpack, the item fits perfectly.
The coffee brewer is not a good fit for two or more persons. It is ideal for one person. If you want to take several cups of hot coffee, you will need to refill the 12-ounce water severally. We loved the fact that this coffee machine is compatible with several Keurig K cups. It is important to note that these are the only cup pods the coffee machine works with. Otherwise, it doesn’t work with Rivo, Vue, K Mug, and K Carafe pods.
The other thing we love about this machine is its power cord. To ensure you do not find storage difficult, Keurig has designed a 26-inch power cord. Besides, the company has created an ample space at the corner of the brewer to store the cord.
Another unique feature is the removable drip tray. With the ability to remove the drip tray that has the capacity to carry up to 7 travel mugs, you do not waste time washing your mugs after each use.

Keurig K-Classic comes last on our list of the best coffee brewers but it is our budget pick. It is true that by now, it is the most affordable coffee brewer on our list. However, when you look keenly on the brewer’s capacity, some of its features, and what our experts say, you will agree without a doubt that it is indeed our budget pick.
For now, you can get this 48-ounce water capacity brewer for as little as $70. Can you imagine having such a big coffee maker for less? Well, there is another reason why this is a nice pick, latest features.
Among the things, why we chose this to be our budget pick is the descaling feature. Large deposits of calcium and other metals in your brewer are dangerous to your health and all those who use the brewer.
The descaling indicator warns you when it is the right time to clean up the coffee machine. With just a simple unwarranted reminder, you are able to save your life and that of your loved ones.

Operating the machine is simple. All you need is to insert a pod, choose the brew size and start to prepare your fresh coffee. The result is the true taste of coffee.
So what now? By now, you have 8 different Keurig products. These are not just any random picks. It took us several weeks to come up with this candid selection. We have made the search quite easy for you. However, it doesn’t mean you do not have work to do. You must at least use your liberty to choose the ideal coffee brewer that fits your budget and needs.
Before we look at individual features that you ought to look at, let’s answer these two important questions:
For a long time, Keurig has stood out among its peers as a maker of cutting-edge coffee brewers. As such, experts working with the company know in every detail what clients want. The other reason why you need to choose Keurig coffee makers is extra-ordinary features. Take for instance the 52-ounce Keurig K-Select. The product has a unique fingerprint resistant feature. The other item worth a mention is the Keurig K155 Office Pro, a quality machine with a fully-illuminated LCD touch screen.
Additionally, the machines have descaling reminders, are easy to operate, and most of them come with extra-large tank capacity. You can also get a K-Cup Carousel that allows you to store up to 35 single serve pods.
Brewing coffee with a Keurig machine is perhaps the easiest and most exciting exercise you’ll ever do. You only need to locate the wall socket, connect the brewer to the power source, place the pod on its right place, choose your preferred cup size (that corresponds to the members present), and press on. Within a few seconds, your natural hot brewed coffee is ready.
We have always insisted that the price you pay matters a lot. Even if you crave so much for something, if you do not have enough amount worth to buy it, you will continue to dream about it. The good thing about Keurig brewers is that you can get a quality brewer that fits your budget. Two items on our list go for less than $70. Yes, the Keurig K-Classic and Keurig K-Mini go at an extremely pocket friendly price.
Before you settle on buying a car, don’t you look at certain features? It is the same with purchasing a coffee brewer. Different coffee makers come with different features. Even with these Keurig products, they come with different distinctive features. Let’s delve into some of the important features you need to look at before you call it a deal.
Although not very exact, the coffee machine lines will help you know or approximate the number of servings. The good thing about the lines is that a number of Keurig brewers’ lines match with the approximation of cups. We, therefore, recommend you go for a coffee maker with many lines if you are a family person.
This is one of the key features when buying a coffee machine. K, which defines the unique make of cups by Keurig, will guide you to know the number of such cups your brewer will accept or is compatible with. Keurig K575, the brewer we labeled ‘upgrade pack’ stands out in this. The brewer has a cup size of 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 22, 26, 30 oz. It simply means, you can use the same brewer to prepare coffee for an individual, 3, 8 or even 15+ persons.
How fast would it brew?You are using a coffee brewer because you want to save time. A coffee brewer that would take you 5 or so minutes to prepare a cup of coffee is almost useless. Thankfully, all Keurig products on our list take the shortest time possible to brew coffee. Most of them take 1 minute to prepare a hot cup of coffee. Isn’t this what you want? Speed of brewing is, however, important to commercial joints that need to serve many cups of coffee simultaneously.
For many, the strength and durability of a coffee is its temperature selection as well as bodywork. We agree with these critics 100%. If a coffee brewer has a lower temperature selection, say from 30 degrees to 80 digress, you are going to wait forever for your cup of coffee to boil. Keurig K-Elite, the 75oz coffee brewer is a gem. The brewer comes with a temperature selection that ranges from 187 degrees to 192 degrees. This explains why the brewer heats in a matter of seconds.
Do you take 5 cups of coffee in one sitting? Does your family enjoy a cup of coffee together? If your answer is yes to the two questions, then you need to look for a coffee machine with a large water capacity. Interestingly, most Keurig brewers come with over 50-ounce tank capacity. Nonetheless, a few exceptions are exceedingly large. If that is what you want, we recommend Keurig K575 and Keurig K155 Office Pro. The two have 80oz and 90oz respectively.
We all agree that we live in a digital era, a time in history that the internet of things (IoT) has made it easy to communicate with many things at ago. Today, it is possible to brew coffee from the start to the finish without your physical presence. This is possible thanks to automatic functions. Some of the auto functions such as auto shut enable your brewer to shut down when not in use. Keurig brewers such as Keurig K575, Keurig K-Café, and Keurig K-Classic come with auto shut, which enables these machines to shut down when not in use. This saves a lot of electricity. Some Keurigs will even give you a notification when its time to clean the appliance.
User-friendlinessIt would be bad to buy a coffee brewer that will take you several days to master how it works. The good thing about Keurig’s brewers is they are simple and easy to use. With the advancement in technology, the company continues to produce coffee machines that are quite easy to operate. Obvious suspects such as Keurig K55, K575, K-Classic, and K-Café among others come with full-screen LCD, indicators, and descaling reminders, features that make work easier.
Nobody loves noisy gadgets. We all love machines that do not disturb us when they are running. A silent coffee brewer such as Keurig K-Select or Keurig K-Cafe is all you need. With them, you are sure that even if they run the whole night, they will not wake your sleeping toddler or disturb your fellow colleagues in the office.
It is important to mind about the environment and how others feel about the coffee brewer you just bought. Take for instance coffee brewers that spill off when they are boiling the coffee inside them. They are not eco-friendly! Some come with long power cords that are cumbersome to rewind and store. Others will work well but they will also blow the lid off your power bills. The good thing is we have Keurig K-Classic and Keurig K-Mini.
Design is key especially if you are a person moved by how elegant the brewer looks. Without a doubt, a nicely-designed coffee brewer would add beauty to the interior décor of your kitchen, fit in its place, and complement the splendor and tranquility of a home. Keurig K-Elite and Keurig K575 are our choice on the best designed Keurig brewers.
Which of the two products would you go for, the one with 1-year limited warranty or the other one with 5-year warranty? The answer is obvious. A 5-year warranty guarantees you value for money. The good thing about Keurig products mentioned herein is they are accompanied by generous warranties.
