Keurig K-Duo Hot & Iced Single Serve & Carafe Coffee Maker, MultiStream Technology, 72oz Reservoir (Gen 2)

The unit works well, I make sure to use filtered water to keep everything tasting good. The coffee tends to lose heat in the carafe, but is hotter for the single serve. There is however, an extra hot option as well as cold. I love all the size options and also making the coffee more strong. The water reservoir is in the back so it provides more lateral counter space. Impressed with the engineering of this coffee maker.

Al principio dudé hacer la compra por el precio, me pareció algo elevado en su momento. Me animé hacer la compra y la verdad, vale cada centavo.
Es una alivio poder utilizar las k-cups y/o la cafetera regular según el momento del día y la cantidad de servicios requeridos. Todo funciona bien y súper sencilla de usar.

What can I say? I needed a new K-Cup machine but don’t want to use my single serve one anymore. I moved to a bigger house and it’s perfect for when family comes over. Versatile little machine for the whole family. I appreciate the iced coffee setting I didn’t have on the single serve machine. It has reasonable water capacity, but other models with k-cup brewing certainly have larger capacity. The taste of the coffee is an improvement over the basic single serve machine as well. The coffee doesn’t smell burnt, like some machines seem. However, there is an extra hot setting for heavy creamer users. The size of the machine is just right, it doesn’t seem too cumbersome to handle. The functionality is user friendly. Knowing how to power down the unit was not immediately obvious, but holding down the brew button for seconds at a time shuts it down.

Recommended and a good deal on Prime Day.

This coffee maker IMO is a 3.5 star unit, but I’ll round up on my review. I wanted a drip brewer and still have the option for Keurig pods on occasion for other things like black tea. This unit looked like it would deliver on what I was looking for, though I have had a mixed ride with Keurig products, especially their newer offerings.

First I’ll list out the pros:
1. It does double duty and for me, that saves space on the counter.
2. It brews decent coffee.
3. The interface is straight forward.
4. It lasted more than a week which beats a couple prior Keurig’s I’ve bought which is a plus.

Cons:
1. I don’t know if it’s my pallette but I can taste a distinct chemical/plastic taste when brewing coffee and pods. I ran multiple tanks of water through the unit before using it on both drip and pods. I installed a carbon filter in the tank as well since it doesn’t come with one. I resorted to running cleaner through the unit and white vinegar which solved the issue on the drip side, but I can still get a hint of the taste on the pod side. I noticed in the later generation Keurig’s, this has been an issue for me. I have an older Keurig that has a water heating chamber, and I never had the issue with that unit. YMMV.
2. The scheduling for the next day could be better. I would say that using it non-auto brew is straight forward. Going through the scheduling every time you want auto-brew is a bit sub-optimal. Not a deal breaker by any means, but it could be better.
3. It doesn’t exactly come across as high quality but it does the job.
4. I wish the water tank was a bit bigger so I could do 3-4 6 cup brews without refilling.
5. It didn’t come with a carbon filter.

Overall, I’m happy with my purchase and hope it lasts more than a year. With time, I also hope the chemical/plastic taste subsides on the pod side of the brewer. For the price, I would buy it again if there isn’t another option doing the same thing for within $50 of this unit. I will post an update if it stops functioning down the road. I have been using it daily for six weeks without any issues.

Product is apparently excellent. Had a misunderstanding when returning, but it was quickly resolved with JavaKing.

It works well other that if you fill to MAX it doesn’t stop at 12 cup maximum for carafe . It can be noisy
