Keurig K-Classic Single Serve K-Cup Pod Coffee Maker, with 3 Brew Sizes, 48oz Removable Reservoir, Black

In the forty years of our marriage, we have owned several well-known brands of coffee makers. However, we feel that the Keurig K55 coffee maker has proved superior to any of our previous coffee brewers. Last year I invested in our first Keurig coffee maker, and I chose the K15 for individual servings. This worked out so well that a few months later, I bought another for my office and I loved my second Keurig as much as I loved the first one. Then last winter I decided to purchase another Keurig, only a different model that would accommodate several servings. I bought the K55 model because it has various featured options. This includes offering the choice for different hot beverages without the extra step to refill the tank each time with water, and this is due to the larger 48 oz. water reservoir. In addition, this enables us to make a variety of hot beverages in rapid succession, within a few seconds instead of waiting for all the water to reheat. Furthermore, the Keurig K55 offers a personal ‘custom tailored’ brew by letting us determine the strength of our coffee, and we have a choice of three. The smallest amount for a 6 oz. provides the strongest brew and the other two servings are an 8 and 10 oz. I like strong coffee, or sometimes I like to have flavored coffee, and my sister-in-law likes the same coffee that I do. My husband prefers a milder brew, and he never drinks flavored coffee. My son drinks tea, and likes to try different varieties and my grandson loves sampling different selections of hot chocolate. The Keurig K55 has a fast set-up, with easy to follow and systematic directions from the manual. It offers us a variety ways to make coffee, tea or just to heat water and all without any major modifications, because it just goes from one task to another. Below are some of the general features, and all are well designed and ‘user friendly’. CONTROL PANEL: All the controls are on the top right of the coffee maker and I like the flat slope surface that slightly slants down toward my eye level, and therefore, I don’t need to step on my tiptoes to read the buttons. On the panel, there are 5 press buttons and each one has an LED light to reduce ‘user error’. Power: Green LED Auto Off: Green LED - (this is the automatic timer and when activated will automatically power off after 2 hours). 3 Brew Size Servings – corresponding size to the serving size and each with a Blue LED a. Cup Size - yields 6 oz. – which will provide the strongest brew b. Small Mug - produces 8 oz. c. Large Mug – dispenses 10 oz. Aside from the 5 press buttons to regulate the Keurig coffee maker, there are 3 other LED light indicators. 1. Add Water – a Blue LED will light up If there is not enough water, the coffee maker will not work, therefore I consider this indicator as a safety feature, as well as a resolution to a possible ‘user error’. 2. Descale – will light up with a Red LED light This is another handy feature, to indicate necessary cleaning maintenance. 3. Heating – while the water is heating, a red LED powers on, and then powers off when the water is hot and ready for a brew. WATER RESERVOIR: Included with the Keurig K55 is a Charcoal Water filter Cartridge Kit with 2 charcoal filters. This will eliminate the unwanted chemical taste that is in some water systems, and good tasting water is essential for a delicious cup of coffee. The recommended life span for each charcoal filter is approximately 2 months or 60 ‘full-tank’ refills. There are several selections for Replacement Charcoal Filter-Pods available on Amazon.com. The water reservoir attached to the left side is easy to remove with a slight lift up and outward motion. It fits inside a base and the tank is easy to remove and replace without any struggle. Alternatively, remove the reservoir tank cover, and pour water in from a bottle or a container. DRIP TRAY: This is much more than ‘just a drip tray’, under the cover is a 1” deep receptacle that will accommodate 8 oz. of a liquid spillover. Therefore, if the user makes an error and pushes the wrong brew amount for a smaller cup, this will save the kitchen counters and the floor from a major flood. In addition, this coffee maker will accommodate my 7 ¼” coffee thermos by sliding the drip tray out from bottom base, and I can have my thermos filled when placed on the bottom flat tray base. THE KEURIG K55 ACCOMMODATES REUSABLE COFFEE FILTERS: My favorite coffee is from fresh beans that I grind myself, and therefore it’s important to me that a coffee maker will accommodate a reusable filter. The K-Cup pod holder on the K55 is very easy to remove and it literally takes less than 10 seconds. Just tap the bottom of the pod holder with a finger and the K-Cup holder slides out with ease. The reusable K-cup filter then slides in place within the groove, and works with perfection for a delicious cup of fresh ground beans, or any ground coffee. The reusable coffer pod filter that I use is the Keurig My K-Cup Reusable Coffee Filter (Single) – and this is compatible with the Keurig K55 model. I purchased this from Amazon last spring, and in addition, I use this same filter with my Keurig K15. https://www.amazon.com/Keurig-5048-Reusable-Coffee-Filter/dp/B000DLB2FI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1486296530&sr=8-1&keywords=Keurig+My+K-Cup+Reusable+Coffee+Filter+%28Single%29 In conclusion, the Keurig K55 is a well thought-out designed coffee maker, with user-friendly features. This machine comes with a ‘Charcoal Water Filter Cartridge Kit and 2 charcoal pod filters, which guarantees excellent coffee, even though we have ‘hard water’ (which tastes awful) in our water system. In addition, I love that Keurig does NOT use a breakable glass carafe, which was the thing that broke most often with our previous coffee makers.

Great product. That is if you don't mind buying a new one every two years or so. Look at the numbers. At a cost of about100 bucks comes to $4.16 per month. That is what it would cost to buy supplies to clean the Keurig. I don't spend money cleaning it and I replace the unit with a nice new coffee maker. Same cost, no work and spanking new machine.

We purchased our first Keurig K-Classic Single Serve K-Cup Pod Coffee Maker in December of 2018. It started acting up a few weeks ago, so I ordered the same one again. The first one lasted for almost 7 years. We use our Keurig several times a day. My old Keurig went out this morning, thankfully the new one arrived yesterday. Maybe it felt betrayed and decided enough was enough. I need to retire and let the next generation take over :) It came very well packaged and secure in the box. Super simple to set up. The new design is great! It allows for the larger travel cups that my husband and I use if you remove the base that it comes with. The tank design is different and didn't allow us to continue to use the filtration system that we could use in the other one. All is all, I am happy with the purchase. Let's see if it hold up as long as the old one did! I did notice that my coffee is a bit hotter after it's done brewing than my old Keurig. Use caution for sure, it's pretty hot. The set up and cleaning before use was super simple and easy! My coffee came out perfect from the very first pod. No coffee grinds in the cup. The first few times you brew, it's not that loud, but the brewing noise does increase a bit with use, not overly loud, but noticeable. I will update here if I notice any issues with the new Keurig.

I really like this unit. I brought several over the years unfortunately they're not built to last. stopped working after about 18 months

I’m trying to make it 5 star but the other star won’t move. I love this coffee pot! It is great! I ordered a second one just in case lol! I like the fact that you only use the cleaning solution you don’t need the filter cartridge which has been very tricky for me to understand. I love the fact that it holds a lot of water! It brews wonderfully! I personally use bottled water purified! The last one my water from apartment was hard on the coffee pot. This is a very great buy right now. I grabbed it and grabbed another one Just in case. I can’t say enough good about it. My daughter bought me a fancier one last year for Christmas that’s tight but lasted 1 year. That one I had to take it apart and hook everything up! This one is ready to go! It came very well packaged very impressive it could not have gotten damaged the way it was packaged. Good job! Get it while it is on sale . I’m 75 and the directions were very easy to follow! Great purchase! I recommend this product and the seller! Thsnkyou

Nobody has gotten a better gift than this for my mom. I come out every year with the best gifts and this is definatly top teir! She has had hers for a couple of years now and it still works absolutly perfect. I bought the K cup holder to go under the keurig and it fits on her counter perfectly without being too much clutter. The coffee that comes out of it smells and tastes absolutly amazing. I like that it doesnt hold too much water so you dont have to worry about cleaning it too often.(

I bought this to replace my old one. I really like my Keurig machine, it's simple and easy to use. I get a fresh cup every time I use it. It's also good for hot water for tea, or broth, whatever you want.

想定外だったこと。 ①コンセントが通常の形ではなかった為、プラグに差し込むことができなかった。 ②コーヒーの4出力分量が、全体的に多すぎた。

Works like a charm . Coffee tastes great and hot ! Unlike Nespresso …

Está muy bien y funcional, solo que me equivoqué quería una más grande

Tested out the coffee machine...works awesome

I had the same older model keurig for over 20 years and it started to have a pump noise which in my opinion is very good considering I use this thing twice a day for that long. The new unit looks good and I like the fact it fills the water as it pours in the cup to save time. Very hot also vs the old Keurig I had. I love it.
