Both the models have a removable drip tray and a reservoir, auto-off features, are single-serve and are compatible with my k-cup. Keurig K-Classic and Keurig K-Express are two of the most popular single cup coffee makers on the market. Both are made by Keurig and they use the K-Cup technology to brew their coffee.
You’ll need to buy some Keurig descaling solution every three to six months to clean your machine. It’s a long process that’ll take about an hour or so of your time, even keurig classic if you’re carefully following Keurig’s descaling instructions. Outside of descaling, you’ll have to wash your reservoir by hand or in the top rack of your dishwasher.
Ease of use couldn’t be better as well; K-Cup pods pack pre-ground coffee into single-servings that are so easy to brew, a child can do it. You can also recycle that K-Cup pod too, granted you rinse it clean of its wet coffee grounds. However, that doesn’t mean coffee should be brewed in less than a minute. For this review, I used a pack of Publix-branded decaf house roast to brew a 6oz, 8oz, and 10oz cup of coffee. Keurig recommends brewing a smaller cup to get a more intense cup, but I still found the 6oz cup lacking in depth. Although the K-Classic is one of Keurig’s barebones offerings, it still has a few minor updates that differentiate it from older models.
This is a very handy feature that is common in the more expensive machines. When this feature is present, the “auto-off” tends to kick in earlier than 2 hours, however, for the price it is a great option. Now enjoy the extraordinary taste of illy in the convenient format of a single serve pod designed for use in all Keurig® K-Cup® brewers.
This means we have the most comprehensive single-serve coffee maker reviews you can find. Whilst not all home coffee experts give numerical scores, we have averaged these out. Therefore, you can get a consensus opinion on how good this coffee machine is, and know for sure if it is the right fit for you. As the Keurig model is not right in front of eyes, most people felt an issue finding it. You can find it either at the lower back of the brewer or at the bottom of the machine, just beneath the drip tray. There are lots of small k-cup coffee makers on the market these days and the K-Mini and K-Mini Plus are Keurig’s smallest units in their lineup.
