Keurig K-Cafe Special Edition Single Serve K-Cup Pod Coffee, Latte and Cappuccino Maker, Nickel

I cannot yet speak to the reliability of the product, only the ease of use and taste of the coffee. We like robust, full-bodied coffees in our family. For some context, we hate acidity and hate weak coffee even worse. For the first batch, I tried a "blonde" coffee from a sampler K cup pack and I made the horrific mistake of setting it to 8 ounce (the machine even allows users to set a 10 or 12 ounce, but why someone would weaken their coffee this much is anyone's guess). Even though I used the strong setting, the 8 ounce blonde was undrinkable by my standards. It was a hot beverage, yes. But the mild roast was so diluted, it tasted more like water than coffee. After switching to the 6 ounce setting and choosing a dark roast, however (like green mountain or Pete's major dickason's blend), we had a very different experience. It was so full bodied that we didnt even need sweetener or creamer, we could enjoyed it straight or mixed. So after tossing aside the weak K cup mixes, I bought a full batch of Major dickasons and havent looked back. Pros- So fast and easy to use, brews the first cup faster than a drip machine the Frother was GREAT and easy to use and clean (even with almond or skim milk) the dark roasts taste great to us. easily on par with starbucks the coffee is HOT. this makes the latte's or capps a little better cold coffee can be brewed directly into a mug full of ice- it was quite good you can use your own coffee if you purchase a refillable Kcup separately. we have a selection of both whole beans and k cups cons I am terrified about the reliability. Even though we LOVE this machine and would not sell it back for twice the price..., I am leery about how long it will work given the other reviews. I am assuming those are legitimate reviews where folks are losing their machine after a few months Starbucks coffee tastes similar, but comes in a larger size, like 12 or 16 ounces. K -cups will not---- unless, you brew 6 ounces with one k cup- then add another k cup to finish the serving Overall, we love waking up to our dark roast every day. If it does not break down, then it will be one of our favorite Amazon purchases.

Having been in the coffee business since the 90's when coffee houses were the "it" thing in college paired with grunge, I have had my share and experience with all types of coffee and machines. I am a coffee snob, but I have worked in the business for decades, so I respect the bean. Sure I would like a french press coffee or a nice big brewed pot of fantastic beans, but hey, even I get lazy. I have been a fan of Keurig machines for several years and have paired them with coffee from San Francisco Bay Gourmet French Roast and Fog Chaser roasts. Our K-machine finally died and I saw this one. We were wanting to get a Breville One-Touch espresso maker, but that is $1000 in itself and the Special Edition had such great reviews that I had to try it. I LOVE IT!!! It makes a fantastic cup of coffee and the latte and cappuccino option is actually great! I used the San Fran Bay Espresso Blend for my capps and the milk frother actually does a GREAT job! I was pleasantly surprised. Made my wife a caramel cappuccino with the Ghiradelli Caramel and she said it was fantastic. I did have my doubts, but like I said, I was pleasantly surprised and am very happy with this purchase. If you are thinking about getting one to enjoy a cup of coffee or to whip up your own lattes, I would say go for it. For the price of having a Keurig and also a specialty coffee machine in one, this is a great choice to have both!

We really did a lot of research on reviews and watched videos downloaded. I really have no clue how anyone had any problems with this Keurig. Easy functionality, easy cleaning, frother is awesome and great tasting which for a picky coffee drinker like me, it says a lot. I actually love the taste far better than my last Keurig and Starbucks, and I used to be a Starbucks addict. If you follow the instructions, you shouldn't have any problems. The only two things I can say that were not convenient, and it’s no deal breaker, is that it didn’t come with the filtration device like my old Keurig did and the Keurig reusable Kcup pod for your own ground coffee. Easy solution is to buy them. I had the old filtration system that fits. And order any reusable kcup that is compatible or from Keurig. Also, one review said it was noisy... uhhh noisy? No. Barely sounds when frothing and you can’t hear the coffee. I wrote this review back in September 2020. Figured I would follow up and let everyone know, BEST PURCHASE EVER! The amount of money we have saved is insane probably paid it off by now 5 times over as we were major Starbucks addicts. The last time I had a coffee at Starbucks has been since I purchased this baby. My sons love the Ice Lattes. Tip for a Starbucks flavor cap or latte, I pour my choice of Starbucks creamer to the black froth disk and the rest 2% milk. I use Bustello Expresso coffee in a reusable Kcup for a perfect cup. Perfect cup every time and I didn’t always get that at Starbucks. Buy and guaranteed you will Enjoy!

I bought a Keurig many years ago and was hooked on them. I had a habit of keeping them for a couple of years then buying a new one, not because they went bad, but because I always felt that no matter how hard I cleaned them, I always felt they were not perfect. So I would buy the newest model and was always please with the quality. Then, I figured I would try another big name brand pod machine, big mistake, just a simple big mistake. I didn’t like anything about it, but I kept it and continued to make it work. Ever since the Covid pandemic began, I stopped getting specialty coffees from the big name coffee spots. I missed the lattes, cappuccinos, and mochas But I saved a bunch of money. I came across this particular Keurig machine, read the reviews, watched the videos, then I checked my pocket, saw the money I saved and thought why not be my own barista! First think is read the directions. Straight forward and simple to use. I use Filtered or bottled water always. This allows for a great cup of coffee. Sometimes unfiltered water makes for a poor cup o joe, and there is no way I wanna ruin a latte with nasty water. I have had this machine for 3 solid weeks and I am totally satisfied. The water heats up fast, the milk gets going quick, and in just a short time I’m enjoying great coffee again. Sure it may seem a bit pricey, but I figured at almost $5 a day on a speciality cup of coffee, or even every other day, I saved a ton. I started watching videos, and learning how to make all sorts of stuff. Add some flavors, Suzy off the latte foam with a bit of vanilla powder and, BAM! If you like good coffee, this machine is for you.

I had the Kuerig Latte machine (not the same machine as this - about $100 less) that I bought a year or so ago and it worked...kinda... so I decided to upgrade after we decided we needed a Kuerig at work. I offered to bring my machine in, so I could mentally justify buying a new one for home. Packing was great - nothing dented, broken, needing to be replaced. The nickel finish looks great in my retro-ish stainless steel, subway title kitchen. But how does it brew a cup of a coffee Eric is what you're really wondering. My old machine brewed a tepid cup on a good day and the latte portion worked when it felt like it, and even then kinda dialed it in (it's in a powerful union - nothing you can do about it). After running several cups of hot water through the machine and then hand-washing what could be washed, I brewed up a latte. I'm a man, I didn't read the instructions. It's not like I'm making a latte on one of those machines that steam your face off on one of those valve pipes. Pretty basic, put the cup in, pull the handle down and using this awesome trick I learned before going to school, I read the buttons. Push here for this type of drink, push here for size, you see where I'm going. I'm happy to say that I'm currently sipping on a hot/very warm latte shot with a beautiful topping of white foamy milk. It feels so much more substantial (i.e., less apt to break - again, I'm a man, not so great with "gentle - unless it meows, then I'm super careful") than my previous maker and the cup of coffee is so much better. It's late here, and I couldn't wait to try it, so I'm actually having a decaf pod that I bought by mistake - which normally tastes like decrap - but this is pretty damn good! Definitely worth the money so far. I'll update if the machine can handle me early in the AM when I'm groggy (because the aforementioned meower wakes me up at the crack of dawn for her morning meal).

As Keurig's go this get's almost everything right. It makes a good cup of coffee and it has some interesting options you don't get anywhere else. The problem is, you don't really need these options, at least not in this package. Visually this is a wanna be Cappuccino machine, which is fine, except it ends up costing you counter space for no real reason. If you have lot's of counter space that might not be a problem. However, you'd be just as far ahead getting the Keurig K-Supreme Plus along with a separate milk frother. Those might end up costing you a bit more money but you're not stuck with the frother on your counter when you don't want it, you get a bigger water tank, and the water tank placement is flexible. For me there ends up being one spot on the counter that this fits well and I really would prefer to have it somewhere else. Can other Keurig's do "shots"? Probably not, and if you really want that then this might be the machine for you, there is a niche market for which it makes sense. It does have a memory for the last settings used, if you just press the K button away you go. However, there is no indication as to exactly what settings might be saved before you press the button. If, hypothetically (perhaps), your daughter came home without your knowledge and made herself a latte after the last time you used it, you might not get that 12oz, strong, cup of coffee you were expecting. Ideally, it should flash the last settings used. Even better, given how many things it can do, would be memory for multiple combinations. At the end of the day, when I want a cup of a coffee this things works just fine, but if all you want is a cup of coffee then you really don't need this particular coffee maker. I don't really regret buying this thing, but if it dies I'll go a different route. (Edited to note that it does save the last settings used)

We just updated our Keurig form an older model that I gave to my daughter for college. I used to have a Capresso Milk frother and loved it, until it broke down. So I decided to get a two in one coffee maker. Best decision. I like the fact that I don't have to pull out another machine to froth my milk. I like the nickel finish, is doesnt get dirty and is sleek. There are 5 options for the coffee: shot, 6,8,10 and 12 oz. I like my coffee strong, so I like the fact that there is a strong button you can push to make the brew stronger. So I brew my coffee by pressing the strong button and 6 or 8oz, depending on how much I want to drink. The Cafe Bustelo is the best expresso coffee I have had so far. You can also brew the coffee for a latte or cappucino, which gives you enough coffee for both drinks. The milk frother can be hot or cold. Therer are marks in the container to know how much milk to put in for each drink. I actually mix my Creme Brulee coffee creamer and milk together and froth it. You cannot run the frother at the same time as brewing your coffee. The resevoir is big and holds a lot of water but it seems like it uses a lot of water, not sure why. When the water gets low, not empty, the Keurig will not brew properly. The last thing is there is plenty of room to place large travel cups. Overall, it is a great buy and I suggest it to anyone wanting to save money by making your own specialty drinks. You can customize anyway you want by getting the right coffes and right creamers or milk.

This is the best single-cup coffee maker I have ever had. I am so pleased with this and it's durability and features. I have had this machine now for four years and use it multiple times every day. I do regular cleanings with the Keurig solution (about ever 6 months) and this unit has really only had issues three times, all related to use pods that were not made specifically for a Keurig. I have learned that those softer-bodied pods really make a mess so I stick with trusted brands. My husband uses the latte maker the most, I use it occasionally. It works beautifully and froths well. I love the low profile of this, and think I will be gifting one of these to a friend. I love it and hope that Keurig continues to make this version, it's really great to have.

The Keurig K-cafe really does make commendable lattes and cappuccinos. Are they to the level of what can be made with much more expensive, super-automatic machines, or those where you grind and press your own coffee beans? Of course not; but that is not its purpose. For a quick latte-to-go as you are rushing out the door to work it performs very well, especially if your significant other prefers a different flavor or intensity of coffee. No need to switch out and grind different beans in your $3000 Jura and then wait anxiously as your travel time ticks by while it goes through the brewing process, you just pop in a different pod; and frankly the latte the K-cafe makes is better than what I get at the Starbucks down the street.

Todo excelente

Excelente máquina, hace lates y caps de muy buena calidad.

I used to have the Tassimo brewer but they have been discontinued in Canada. I am quite impressed with this Keurig, particularly the milk frother. The frother whips up hot, frothy milk in about a minute. You can choose either latté, cappucino or cold options. The coffee brewer can be a bit slow but works well. The machine is well-made overall and is pretty solid. A sound purchase!
