Keurig K-Duo Essentials Black Single-Serve K-Cup Pod Coffee Maker

I'm very happy with this Keurig K-Duo Essentials Coffee Maker. Having the option to make a whole pot of coffee in the morning or one quick cup as needed is very convenient. The water reservoir is nice and large. It's easy to remove the tank for filling and to slide it back into place. I have noticed that if you follow the instructions and remove the lid first and then the tank, it's much easier to deal with. The Single Serve feature is really nice. Just pop in a pod, close the lid and choose you serving size - 8, 10 or 12 ounces. The carafe side also has a choice of 8, 10 or 12 cups. You switch between the two by choosing ounces or cups, then press the size button. It's all very straight-forward. Both methods deliver a delicious brew. This appliance is very versatile as well. Anyone who's ever used a Keurig K-Cup system will know that this machine makes more than just coffee - all sorts of teas, hot cider, cocoa and even soup can be made in just one machine. The Keurig K-Duo has enabled me to get rid of both my old coffee pot and my tea kettle, thus freeing up space on my counter top. The one thing that was a surprise to me, but not an issue, is that it's noisier than other coffee makers I've used. I assume it's the pump mechanism, and it's not loud enough to be a problem. Overall, I would recommend this coffee maker to anyone who wants the choice of single servings or carafes.
