Keurig K-Duo Essentials Moonlight Gray Single-Serve K-Cup Coffee Maker

After receiving this Duo coffee maker I don't know how I lived without it in my life. First off it makes a carafe of great coffee and brews so fast. I do think it brews faster than my old drip coffee maker. It was super easy to un box and run it through its clean cycle for the first time use. I literally had it out of the box and cleaned in 10 minutes flat and was ready to brew my coffee. The unit is pretty much self explanatory and very easy to operate. The instructions are very well written and easy to follow along. I have never had a K-Cup type coffee maker before, I see what I have been missing all this time. My husband gets up earlier than me and starts drinking coffee, sometimes I would need that third cup and of course I would have to make another pot cause he had already finished the pot. But with this duo unit its a no brainer, just pop in a K-Cup and you have a fresh cup of coffee with no long wait and no waist of a whole other pot of coffee. I am a big coffee drinker, drinking it through out the day, this makes it so nice. If I feel like a different type of coffee no problem pop in a K-Cup and your off and brewing without having to make a entire pot. I do however run another cycle through of just water if I am making a flavored coffee or tea just so that the next use won't have a off flavor. It does not say to do this but I just do it myself. I wouldn't want my Chai tea to have a little taste of Hot Chocolate or Vanilla Coffee. But I couldn't tell you if it even would have an off taste because I have never tried it without, it is just something that I thought of doing. Having a large easy to fill water reservoir on this unit makes it nice to not have to always fill it for that one cup brew or that half of pot. You can choose from a 8 cup, 10 cup or 12 cup pot of coffee and on the K-Cup you can do 12 oz, 10oz and 8oz on single brews. I really like this feature. It gives you a good range of options to suit your needs. The unit really is not that much bigger than my old drip machine so it doesn't take up a lot of space. The design is sleek and modern. I really love the simple use of this machine you push 2 buttons and you are off and brewing. I do wish that it had a timer function so that it was already brewed when we get up in the morning, but like I said it brews pretty fast and and my husband has gotten over that with in a day or two of using it. It really is that easy to use, and my husband is not into fancy machines that have a million buttons and functions to make his coffee. Since he likes it, I know that this is a easy machine, because he would not use it if it was difficult. Over all I really had no complaints from this machine. I would definitely buy this as a gift for someone who loves coffee and teas. So happy its in my kitchen and wont go without it.

This is a great coffee maker. It did everything I wanted it to do. It freed up space on my counter, and I got rid of my Keurig, single cup, and my Cuisinart coffee maker. It also made great coffee! What a deal, I paid half price $54.50. I love a great deal! It’s heavy duty which I like, it seems the flimsy appliances never last very long. I didn’t take the extended two year warranty out for $6 more. You never know and that was pretty cheap.
