KeurigK-Duo Hot & Iced Single Serve & Carafe Coffee Maker, MultiStream Technology, 72oz Reservoir (Gen 2)

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This was perfect for what we needed. Uses kcups. Has a "strong" or "hot" choice buttons. I can use the pot to make my decaf green tea (Davidson's) dried tea leaves, then delute to make my ice tea. More compact. It is also great for someone with low-vision issues. Front controls not top. Hot plate on coffee pot is easy to shut off. Compared & checked all and it came down to this one. We used our last Keurig for over 15 years. I was not surprised with my comparison shopping that I was always coming back to a Keurig.Build quality:It's a Keurig. Keurig is quality!Functionality:Amazing.Features:Just what we need. The "strong" option was essential. The coffee pot spout is an easy pour new design, no spills to clean up. My french press still makes the best iced coffee, sorry Keurig.Leakage:Not that I've seen.Size:The coffee pot is a good capacity w/ a great pour spout.

I bought this for my very picky parents, my dad wants the k-cup and my mom hates the k-cups so this has both options. The large carafe makes very good coffee and the single serve with the hot/cold option is a hit with my dad so win-win. So far, after about 2 months of use and no issues, just great coffee. But, don’t compare this to a moka pot, the carafe is closer to a French press coffee but a step down. But, that’s pretty good for a coffee maker imo. It’s easy to use, I would say idiot proof but don’t want to offend, but it’s very easy to use and clean and makes a good cup of coffee with different options for different types of coffee and it’s way cheaper than going to a coffee shop.

We've had this K-Duo for over a week now and we're very happy with it. It makes great drip coffee from grounds and single cups from K-cup pods. Like any electronic device, it takes a little while to get used to the quirks, but we had it down in a day.Many reviewers have complained about the Auto Brew function -- yes, it would have been nice to activate it daily with just a single button push, but in order to activate the Auto Brew on this unit you have to push a couple of buttons a few times. But you do NOT have to reprogram the start time (which is what we were led to believe from some of the more vehement reviews), and honestly, it's not difficult to simply push a button a few more times!When preparing a single cup, we like the ability to make a stronger and/or a hotter brew. We've tried out the iced coffee function and that seems to work fine, we're just not iced coffee fans, but we might change our tune as summer kicks in.All in all, we're very pleased with this purchase.

This coffee maker IMO is a 3.5 star unit, but I'll round up on my review. I wanted a drip brewer and still have the option for Keurig pods on occasion for other things like black tea. This unit looked like it would deliver on what I was looking for, though I have had a mixed ride with Keurig products, especially their newer offerings.First I'll list out the pros:1. It does double duty and for me, that saves space on the counter.2. It brews decent coffee.3. The interface is straight forward.4. It lasted more than a week which beats a couple prior Keurig's I've bought which is a plus.Cons:1. I don't know if it's my pallette but I can taste a distinct chemical/plastic taste when brewing coffee and pods. I ran multiple tanks of water through the unit before using it on both drip and pods. I installed a carbon filter in the tank as well since it doesn't come with one. I resorted to running cleaner through the unit and white vinegar which solved the issue on the drip side, but I can still get a hint of the taste on the pod side. I noticed in the later generation Keurig's, this has been an issue for me. I have an older Keurig that has a water heating chamber, and I never had the issue with that unit. YMMV.2. The scheduling for the next day could be better. I would say that using it non-auto brew is straight forward. Going through the scheduling every time you want auto-brew is a bit sub-optimal. Not a deal breaker by any means, but it could be better.3. It doesn't exactly come across as high quality but it does the job.4. I wish the water tank was a bit bigger so I could do 3-4 6 cup brews without refilling.5. It didn't come with a carbon filter.Overall, I'm happy with my purchase and hope it lasts more than a year. With time, I also hope the chemical/plastic taste subsides on the pod side of the brewer. For the price, I would buy it again if there isn't another option doing the same thing for within $50 of this unit. I will post an update if it stops functioning down the road. I have been using it daily for six weeks without any issues.

Works Great... Have had it for three months now and it works like advertised. Brew at least a pot a day, along with a K-Cup or two to boot. Wish that there was a 16 or 20 oz brew size for the k-cups. However any combination will get you what you need. I use filtered water in the resiviour. Have run one cleaning cycle through the coffee maker so far. Nice that you can clean both the Coffee Pot Maker and K-cup Maker in one cleaning. Just run fresh water (2 cycles) after cleaning. Got it at a good price as compared to big box and appliance stores. Watch for sales!!!
