Are you wondering which Keurig is the best? You’re in luck because at The Coffee Blog (TCB), we’ve put just about every Keurig home brewer to the test to find the best model for you in 2024. Coffee is all about convenience these days, and Keurig has been a pioneer in bringing single-serve coffee makers to our kitchens, revolutionizing the way we enjoy our daily brew.
If you love the convenience and speed of brewing coffee directly into your cup, want to explore different types of coffee, or need to cater to varied coffee preferences within your household, a Keurig is perfect for you. No more wasted coffee, just fresh brews right when you need them. However, not all Keurig coffee makers are created equal. So, let’s dive into the details to help you find the Keurig that will make your mornings brighter.
When choosing a Keurig, keep these key factors in mind:
1. Water Tank: Consider how often you brew coffee. A larger water reservoir means less frequent refilling, which is great for busy mornings.
2. Size: Keurig machines come in various shapes and sizes, so think about your counter space and how the machine will fit into your kitchen.
3. Options: Do you want multiple cup sizes, strength control, or the ability to froth milk? Make sure the model you choose has the features you need.
4. Speed: Some models heat water for each cup, while others reheat water between brews in 30 seconds. If speed is essential, look for the latter.
5. Budget: Keurig machines range from $60 to $230. Decide how much you want to spend and ensure the model fits your budget while offering the features you desire.
We’ve tested numerous Keurig models and here are our top picks:
Best Overall: Keurig K-Supreme SMART (WiFi enabled)
Smallest Keurig Machine: K-Mini
Best Keurig for Lattes: Keurig K-Cafe SMART
Each of these models works with all regular K-Cups, including Keurig-branded and non-branded options. They are also compatible with the reusable K-Cup filter so you can use your own coffee grounds.
The latest Keurig models feature Multistream Technology, which uses five entrance needles instead of one to evenly saturate the coffee grounds, resulting in a richer flavor. The K-Supreme series includes the K-Supreme SMART and the K-Supreme Plus SMART.
For $179.99, the K-Supreme SMART offers:
If you want the flexibility of using K-Cups and ground coffee, the $229.99 Keurig K-Duo Plus is an excellent choice. It offers:
Four cup sizes for single cups (6, 8, 10, and 12 ounces)
The ability to brew a carafe of 6, 8, 10, or 12 cups using ground coffee
An auto-brew option for the carafe, allowing you to set your brewer to make coffee in the morning
There’s also a more affordable version, the $139.99 Keurig K-Duo, which features a side-by-side design and auto ON option. However, this model comes with a glass carafe, which isn’t as durable as the thermal carafe of the K-Duo Plus.
For those who love lattes and cappuccinos, the $199.99 Keurig K-Cafe SMART is perfect. It includes:
While the K-Cafe SMART is often thought to make espresso, it actually produces a concentrated brew similar to espresso using regular K-Cups.
If space is a concern, the $79.99 Keurig K-Mini Plus is ideal. At less than 5 inches wide, it fits just about anywhere and features:
A single-cup reservoir (you fill it for each cup)
The ability to brew from 6 oz to 12 oz cups
For a similar space-saving design but with a larger water reservoir, consider the $109.99 K-Slim, which has a 46-ounce tank so you don’t need to add water for each cup.
Newest Keurig Model: Keurig K-Supreme SMART and K-Supreme Plus SMART
Keurig with Coffee Pot: Keurig K-Duo and Keurig K-Duo Plus
Keurig with Timer: Keurig K-Elite, Keurig K-Supreme SMART
Keurig with the Largest Reservoir: Keurig K-Supreme Plus (78 oz) and Keurig K-Elite (75 oz)
Keurig for Travel Mugs: All models have a removable drip tray that accommodates travel mugs up to 7 inches tall
Keurig that Makes Espresso: Keurig K-Cafe (not real espresso shots, but you can make milky café-style drinks)
Choosing the right Keurig can be overwhelming, but once you know what you need from your coffee maker, the decision becomes much easier. Whether you prioritize size, functionality, or budget, there’s a Keurig out there for everyone.
