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.
We specifically love this feature because you will save a lot of brewing time. In fact, you can prepare up to 8 cups of nicely brewed coffee before you refill the water tank again. 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.
Inside the pack, there is a bonus. The manufacturer ensures you get a K-cup. This is a 6-count bonus cup that has a variety to enable you weigh the amount of water you will use to prepare your coffee. You will use the same cup to drink the coffee.
There are also two filters inside the pack when you get yourself this machine. You have the liberty to choose how to use the filters. However, Keurig has put the filters in place to help you filter the water and the coffee to maximize its taste.
The coffee maker comes with temperature adjuster. With it, you will be able to set temperatures ranging from 187 degrees to 192 degrees. Additionally, there is a strong brew button. A simple press on this button ensures you brew your coffee to your desired taste.
What do we love it for?

Saves a lot of time
What were we disappointed with?

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.

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.
What do we love it for?
Reasonable size ideal for small family
Prepares coffee in seconds
It is quiet
Strong brewing
What were we disappointed with?
You have to refill many times
Water may flow into the cup without pressing a button

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.
If by any chance, the coffee machine was turned on and has been on for 120 minutes, the auto off feature helps by turning the machine off. This is incredible because you are assured of conserving energy.
What are its best features?
Saves energy
Brews fast
Easy to set up and use
Compatible with many reusable coffee filters
What could be improved?
Refilling may be too much
The long cord may make storage a bit hard

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.
The brewer has an auto shut feature, which turns off exactly 1 minute 30 seconds after your last use of the brewer.
What do we love it for?
Compact design
Brews super fast
Compatible with Keurig cup pods
Extremely easy to clean
Easy to carry, transports, and store
What were we disappointed with?
No strength controls
Small water capacity

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.

If your brewer has been on for 2 hours, the auto shut feature does its job by ensuring the brewer goes off. This alone saves energy.
