Which Keurig Is Right For You? A Complete Guide To The 8 Best Models
Since Keurig first launched its at-home brewing systems in 2004, the brand has created a not-so-modest reputation as the gold standard for single-serve coffee makers that are affordable, foolproof, and incredibly easy to use. Amazon Also, since 2004, there have been tons of different models and versions of the Keurig that have come to market, each one at different price points and with different capabilities. It can be overwhelming to choose which option will suit your needs best, which is why we created this extensive buying guide highlighting all the key features and distinctions of each one. Spoiler alert: Our favorite pick from the list ahead is the K-Elite Keurig, a bells-and-whistles model that can rapidly brew a variety of strengths, five different cup sizes, and cold coffee straight over ice. But no matter which Keurig you land on, here's what you can expect from this budget-friendly coffee maker brand: it will make a single serving of your java beverage of choice quickly (in most cases less than a minute), and will use signature K-cup pods — of which there is a nearly endless variety to choose from — for a consistent and single-step operation that doesn't require any futzing with loose coffee grounds. Keep in mind that if you don't want to use K-cup pods, there are reusable filter cups available that are compatible with Keurigs and use your favorite loose coffee grounds of choice. 1. If you want the overall favorite Amazon Highlights: The highest-rated option on Amazon with a 48-ounce water reservoir (enough for 6 cups) and the classic one-touch and rapid brewing functionality that Keurig is known for. Based on Amazon's ratings, the Keurig K-Classic is the overall favorite choice, with 4.6 out of 5 stars and over 83,000 5-star reviews. Like all Keurigs, the Classic promises a foolproof and user-friendly operation and an auto-off feature so the appliance will safely shut off after it's been idle for a designated amount of time. It offers one of the largest removable Keurig reservoirs of 48 ounces, which is enough to brew up to six single-serve cups of coffee per fill. It can brew up to three different coffee sizes in a minute or less and can even accommodate taller to-go coffee mugs when you remove the drip tray at the Keurig's base. Drawbacks: Brewing options and cup sizes are limited compared to other models. Get it from Amazon for $127.49. 2. The one to get if you're on a budget Amazon Highlights: A budget-friendly and size-conscious coffee maker that quickly makes three different cup sizes and offers two brew strengths, including a strong setting that intensifies the coffee's flavor. The Keurig K-Express is one of the brand's most economical makers, with a 42-ounce water reservoir that's removable for easy filling and fairly sizable for the appliance's compact size. Despite its affordable price, the K-Express can still brew three different cup sizes and has a strong brew option that intensifies the bold flavor of your coffee. It has a removable drip tray to allow you to brew your morning coffee directly into your travel mug, and don't worry about accidentally leaving the Keurig on thanks to the auto shut-off feature that turns off the maker five minutes after your last brew. Drawbacks: A smaller reservoir compared to the previous model. Bottom line: The most affordable option for anyone who wants just the basics Get it from Amazon for $89.99 (available in four colors). 3. The one to get if you don't have a lot of space Amazon Highlights: This is the most compact and slimmest model that Keurig has to offer, with the most color options and one of the lowest price points. It's great for anyone who has the most basic and straightforward coffee brewing needs, only drinks a cup at a time, and has limited kitchen space. Measuring less than five inches wide and 12 inches high, the Keurig K-Mini is the brand's slimmest and space-conscious model that still manages to accommodate travel mugs that are up to seven inches tall. This single-serve maker has just one brew setting for the easiest operation possible and can make either a six- or a 12-ounce cup of coffee at a time. The non-removable reservoir is equally minute and just requires a simple fill with fresh water before each brew cycle. The K-Mini also comes in the most color options, including fun hues like pastel pink and forest green. Drawbacks: Can only brew one cup at a time and needs to refilled more frequently, offers only one brew strength. Bottom line: Space-saving, affordable and the best option for those who typically only drink one cup of coffee at a time. Get it from Amazon for $59.99 (available in five colors). 4. The one for people who liked iced coffee Amazon Highlights: The best choice for anyone who likes an iced cup of coffee as much as a hot one but still wants the low-effort and straightforward functionality and affordability that a Keurig is known for. It has a decent-sized removable reservoir and can make three different cup sizes and different brew strengths. With the K-Iced Keurig's iced coffee setting, the maker manages to instantly brew a temperature-regulated stream of coffee that starts hot to extract the most flavor and then rapidly cools so that the coffee can be made directly over ice without melting and diluting your drink. Aside from this special feature, the K-Iced offers a strong brew setting for a more pronounced coffee flavor and can make up to three different cup sizes while also accommodating taller tumblers and travel mugs thanks to the removable drip tray. It uses a removable 42-ounce reservoir. Drawback: For some, the icing functionality will be unnecessary. Bottom line: The K-Iced is essentially just like the very popular K-Express (mentioned above), but with the added feature of brewing cold coffee directly over ice. Get it from Amazon for $75.99+ (available in two colors). 5. The one to get if you want all the bells and whistles Amazon Highlights: Our personal favorite Keurig because it offers some of the best brewing features out of all the brand's single-serve coffee makers, has the largest water reservoir, the fastest brewing time, and five cup sizes. The K-Elite is the best pick for anyone who wants the most from their Keurig coffee maker and doesn't mind this appliance taking up a little more space on their countertop. It offers the largest reservoir capacity of all the Keurigs, featuring a removable 75-ounce container so it only needs to be refilled after the eighth cup. You can choose from five different cup sizes and three different brew settings, including a strong brew and iced, which makes a temperature-regulated and perfectly extracted stream of coffee that can be made directly over ice, all of which take less than a minute to brew. On top of the K-Elite's user-friendly dashboard, there's a light-up time display, which many of the more basic models don't have, and a "hot water" button for on-demand boiling water, perfect for instant soups, teas and more. Drawbacks: Higher price point (but not by much). Bottom line: Although not the most affordable of all the Keurigs on this list, we think it offers the greatest value because of all the brewing options, including an iced coffee setting and a strong brew setting. Get it from Amazon for $129.99 (available in three colors). 6. The one when you also want lattes and espressos Amazon Highlights: In addition to standard single-serve coffee brewing, the K-Cafe K-Duo also crafts single-serve lattes and cappuccinos, hot or iced, utilizing the same signature Keurig K-cup method that's always user-friendly. It even features a dishwasher-safe frother for whipping up all kinds of creamy milk. Just when you thought Keurig only made coffee makers capable of brewing your standard cup of Joe, the brand releases the K-Cafe K-Duo, a fully outfitted appliance that not only crafts regularly percolated single-serving cups of coffee, but also espresso-based drinks like lattes, cappuccinos or just shots of espresso. You can even enjoy iced versions of your favorite cafe drinks using a temperature-regulated brew setting that extracts the right amount of flavor, without diluting your drink. In addition to the large 60-ounce removable reservoir, it has an integrated milk frother that makes creamy milk for hot drinks as well as cold foams for iced ones. Drawbacks: One of the highest price point in the bunch; has a large footprint. Bottom line: It's one of the more expensive Keurigs on our list, but worth it if you want the most brewing options available and can spare the counter space. Get it from Amazon for $179.99+ (available in two colors). 7. A dual model to brew drip and K-cup coffee Amazon Highlights: A dual-sided Keurig that offers not just single-serve cups of hot coffee with a K-Pod, but can also brew a pot of coffee using a filter and loose coffee grounds of your choice. It has a large 60-ounce reservoir and several convenient brewing functions. Keurig understands that single-serving cups of coffee are not for everyone and the K-Duo Pod and Carafe maker is the brand's versatile solution. One side of this appliance features a traditional coffee maker with a 12-cup glass carafe, a heating plate and a classic filter brewing system. The other side is a classic Keurig that uses a K-cup for single-serving cups of coffee that can be made in four different sizes. Other functions of the K-Duo are an auto-brew function where you can program your maker to automatically brew a carafe up to 24 hours in advance, and a pause and pour setting that allows you to stop mid-brew to pour yourself a cup before it continues brewing. Drawbacks: The larger size means it may not be suitable for small spaces. 8. The one for when you want hot and iced Amazon Highlights: It's a dual-sided coffee maker that can make a 12-cup carafe for traditional brewing, plus single-serving cups of coffee, iced or hot, and in four different cup sizes. It features an updated "multistream technology" for a more enhanced flavor and intense aroma from each brew. The Keurig K-Duo Hot and Iced coffee maker is very similar to the K-Duo Pod and Carafe listed above but with the capacity to make iced single-serve coffee beverages as well as hot. Another key difference is that it uses a "multistream technology," a brand-exclusive system that claims to evenly saturate coffee grounds to extract the most flavor and aroma, whether you're making something hot or iced. In addition to the temperature-regulated iced setting, you can choose to brew coffee with a strong, more intense-flavored brew, and an extra hot setting. Drawbacks: Some reviewers say the reusable K-cups aren't compatible with this machine.

I'm a deal hunter — today's best sales include The North Face, Shark and Keurig
We independently evaluate the products we review. When you buy via links on our site, we may receive compensation. Read more about how we vet products and deals. As a shopping editor, I rarely pay full price for anything. I can sniff out the best discounts, knowing when to click "add to cart" or when I should wait for a steeper price drop. Alas, I'm here to share my wisdom — I've rounded up the 10 best sales from across the web today on top brands like The North Face, Shark, Keurig and more. Ready to warm up with a new parka by The North Face? Grab one while it's over $100 off at REI. If your floors need a deep clean, the Shark Navigator is nearly 40% off at Walmart right now. And if you want to make yourself a quick cup of joe, the Keurig K-Express is down to just $35. You can also stock up on leggings — get a three-pack of plain black slimming ones for just 23 bucks at Amazon. Keep scrolling for these deals plus a few of the best retailer sales if you also want to spend some time perusing more deals yourself. (Psst! Make sure you check out the Banana Republic sale section for high-quality knits, and Cozy Earth's Valentine's Day sale for the softest bedding.) If you're in the market for a new parka, act fast! REI just marked down this North Face parka by 30% — that's $100 off! The parka is long enough to cover your bum and hits just above the knees or about mid-thigh. Recycled waterfowl down feathers make it fluffy and its exterior fabric is water-repellent, so you'll stay warm and dry. One shopper said: "I highly recommend this parka. I have a hard time finding appropriate times to wear the coat because it is SO amazingly warm. Snow or wind does not get through this coat. The length is great if you are taller, too. As a 6-foot female, I have found some long female parkas are too short — not this one!" Keeping your coffee or tea hot can be difficult while you're dashing around the house on a busy morning. That's where this bestseller comes in. You can set the temperature and keep it there for hours, on or off the charging coaster. "I use it every day! The temperature is always perfect," said a five-star reviewer. "It looks like a normal mug but oh boy! It is no normal mug! It's beautiful. So easy to use. I just wish the battery lasted longer. Even that doesn't make me take a star away. I absolutely love how well it works." Watch out, dirt! This top-seller with over 2,100 five-star fans is a powerhouse that swivels and swerves like an athlete, sucking up dirt, hair and dust (shout-out to the hardworking HEPA filter). Use the handheld nozzle to attack upholstery, stairs and curtains. "I absolutely love this vacuum cleaner," said a Walmart shopper. "It does everything you would want a vacuum cleaner to do it. Swivels, it gets in small spots. It's lightweight, it picks up very well, it doesn't have a bag and it breaks down to a smaller vacuum, so you can clean your car or other things." Wake up! Keurig's K-Express, the brand's small and sleek single-serve brewer, is on sale at Walmart. (The deepest discount is on the red!) You can use it to brew 6-ounce, 8-ounce and 10-ounce cups fast. It's perfect for people who live alone, are the sole coffee drinkers in the house or are tight on space. "I love this Keurig," said one reviewer. "I've wasted so much coffee before getting this. Since I've always used a coffee pot, I had a lot of ground coffee. Purchased the pod converter to use, and problem solved! Definitely would recommend it if you just want to make a single cup at a time." Winter isn't going anywhere anytime soon! If you're looking for warm pieces to cozy up in, grab this flannel shacket (shirt/jacket) on sale at Amazon. It comes in a range of plaid prints and looks great over leggings or with jeans. "I'm a huge flannel girl and this one did not disappoint," wrote a five-star fan. "I love the look and fabric of this flannel and can't wait to wear it in the fall. It's not as thick as some of my other flannels, but it will still keep you warm because the material is still on the thicker side." Ready to transform your shower into a spa-like experience? Made of chrome and stainless steel this lightweight, easy-to-install (no tools needed!) shower head has a reinforced stainless steel hose for super-flexible reach and mobility. More than 60,000 shoppers rave about it. "Shockingly good for the price," wrote a five-star fan. "It looks good, works flawlessly, and doesn't leak. Having a proper showerhead makes the apartment MUCH more livable. It was a high-impact upgrade at a very low cost. Besides making showers more comfortable, having a movable showerhead makes cleaning the shower immeasurably easier. I'd consider it a must-have." It's cold and flu season, so you better be washing your hands! Keep clean with a three-pack of Mrs. Meyer's good-smelling soap. The brand's soaps are scented with essential oils and contain aloe vera and olive oil to hydrate as they wash. Amazon shoppers especially love the Mint scent. "The mint soap is a very pleasant 'neutral' scent. I use this in guest bathrooms and kitchen," said one reviewer. "The mint smells like it came out of the garden, not like mint gum. It almost has a mint/cucumber smell." Want to "shrink" your pores? These top-selling pads use a revitalizing combo of ingredients including lactic acid and salicylic acid to keep your skin looking bright and your pores clear. And they're over 50% off — talk about a fresh deal. "Magic in a tub," proclaimed one devotee. "I have combination skin, and very noticeable pores on my nose. Although the pores on my nose have not completely gone away (which I wasn't expecting), they have minimized, and my skin overall looks more radiant and smooth. I love that these pads are so moisturizing. I normally have reactions and burning to acids, but this is gentle and leaves my skin feeling plump and moisturized." You can never have too many comfy leggings, right? Grab a three-pack while they're under $8 each. You can choose all black, or snag one of the multi-color options that are on sale. Plus, they're thick enough to provide a little tummy control, they're not see-through and they have pockets. Amazon shoppers rave about them! "Buttery soft," said one of the 3,700 five-star reviewers. "These leggings are of good quality, they are not thin or see-through like the cheap ones from other companies you find on here. They are so soft. The pockets are deep enough to put my phone in all the way and I love the high waist. The top does not roll down. They stay up. I love these leggings." Formulated to hydrate skin and reduce wrinkles over time, this eye cream aims to deliver visibly firmer, brighter skin. It boasts an impressive assortment of active ingredients, including hyaluronic acid, retinol and vitamin C. It has a well-designed applicator — cooling and angled — so you can enjoy its soothing benefits without pulling or tugging on delicate under-eye skin. Actress Eva Longoria says she loves it because it's so refreshing and fills in fine lines. She told Pop Sugar, "It feels so delicious." Amazon shoppers love it too. "I use the product around my eyes every morning," said one happy customer. "No odor that I notice. Works great diminishing the bags and dark circles. Best of all the tube lasts me months when used as suggested. Feels great if kept cold in the fridge." Is it a cardigan or is it a coat? It's both! Score this versatile piece for chilly winter and early spring days while it's on sale in a range of colors. Although, this khaki color goes great with jeans and leggings, and can make any outfit look a bit more elevated. "Very nice fabric — nice feel and weight to fabric," said one shopper. "Very soft, steps up the look of any outfit. I'm 5'3" and it hits right at knee. Looks so professional for work or completes a look with jeans. I will be buying more colors."
