Keurig K-Compact Single-Serve Coffee Maker, Black

Makes a great cup of coffee!

This coffee maker is as simple as fill the reservoir with water, plug in, put the coffee pod in, and chose your amount. It is so much better than the Keurig where you have to put in at least 6 oz of water or it doesn’t work, dumbest thing ever.

And this usually goes on sale on Prime days of $50. It’s a great deal.

Won’t be spending tons of money on my keurigs anymore. Since the guy who created it sold, the machines break so easily now, even told that by customer service. Had 1 broken bought brand new. Stick to cheaper ones..

Update:
Despite loving this coffee maker, I am returning it for what is probably a rare reason. It triggers my asthma. It took me a lot of time to find the cause of the asthma attacks. I looked at my purchases from the time when the attacks started. At first I thought it was a prescription eye drop I use. I picked it up from the pharmacy the day the attacks started, but it was an Rx I’ve used for months with no ill-effects. I experimented with the Rx: I took it and found the attacks continued. I stopped using it and the attacks continued. My doctor put me on a Prednisone burst for 5 days and I had no attacks on those days. But as soon as the burst ran out, the attacks started again. Then a couple days ago I checked my Amazon purchases. Turns out I received the coffee maker on the day the attacks started. Yesterday I made coffee in my Mr. Coffee and there was no attack. Ditto for today. I Googled, looking to see if others have had Keurig’s that triggered attacks. Mostly, what I found was that it was possible because hot water interacting with the plastic and foil in K cups might activate chemicals, or there could be mold in the Keurig. I doubt there’s mold in the one I bought because it showed no sign of having been used. I know nothing about chemistry, so I can’t really weigh in on whether the potential interaction with plastic and foil is true or false. I just know that since I stopped using the Keurig, the asthma has stopped.

I’m leaving the five stars from my original review because the Keurig is so pretty, so much fun to use, and so solidly built — and I think my issue is probably extremely rare. Just one more thing: when Googling the issue, I got a lot of links that warned about mold forming and the need for regular cleaning. Passing that along because when I bought the Keurig I saw nothing about mold — just the info that regular descaling is necessary.

Original review:
I have a lot of green and turquoise/teal in my kitchen but black seemed like the safer choice. To settle the matter, i ordered both colors. In the end, I chose the turquoise one because it’s so cheerful-looking. I’m giving the black one to a friend.

By the way, my choice surprised me. The black one arrived a day before the turquoise one and I was quite happy with it. Almost decided to just return the turquoise one without opening it. But curiosity won out and I’m glad it did because the difference is dramatic and the choice is a lot more fun.

For k cups, I ordered what has been my everyday coffee for many years: Folger’s Colombian medium. Tastes exactly the same as what I had been making in my Mr. Coffee. I had worried needlessly that the k cup wouldn’t brew to my preference, but it did in the medium-size mug setting.

Excellent

I bought it and i love it very fast works perfect .I had a Hamilton Beach total junk only lasted a year so buy this one you will love it to

Unit takes prolonged time to initially heat the water before you can select size of cup you wish to brew. Once water is heated, additional time to brew your cup. Noisy. No owners manual to show maintenance and troubleshooting. Does not show if you can use vinegar to descale like all my previous makers did. Keurig seems to want you to purchase their solution and kit to do what other makers show how to do so with vinegar and water. Compact enough to not take up much counter space. Coffee taste average.
