About Single Serve and 12-Cup Carafe Drip Coffee Brewer
Overall Feedback:
70% positive
84% appreciated the size and fit, but 16% weren't satisfied
I didn't realize that K-cups come in different sizes until I bought this K-cup duo. The coffee maker has options to choose the size of the cup or pot.
The smallest k-cup size is 6oz and the first cup of the day pours 10oz, overfilling any medium sized coffee cup. Only the largest coffee cups work.
The serving sizes are off. When I want 10oz, I get 12oz and when I want 12oz, it overflows.
84% liked the quiet operation, but 16% encountered noise issues
The coffee maker is very loud and it's difficult to hear the TV in the neighboring room.
81% were satisfied with the control options, but 19% encountered issues
I find the timer controls unreliable with a flimsy feel and the buttons too small.
The controls require a pattern of button pushing instead of preset options like my Keurig 2.0. It can be frustrating if I forget to hit the 'start' button and the machine falls asleep without making my coffee.
78% found cleaning and maintenance easy, but 22% struggled
The coffee pot is easy to clean. I will buy the keurig cleaner when I need to clean the whole unit.
The large coffee area is difficult to clean, but the Kurig single serve part is easy to clean.
82% was satisfied with the temperature maintenance, but 18% experienced inconsistency
I measured the temperature of the coffee with two different thermometers and never got a reading above 165 degrees, indicating that the coffee maker did not brew at the optimal temperature.
I have noticed that Keurig units may not reach optimal brewing temperature for darker roast coffee, like French Roast. This is negative feedback regarding the brewing temperature feature of the coffee-maker.
78% found the brewing speed satisfactory
Brewing an 8 ounce cup of coffee takes at most 30 seconds, which is a positive feedback for the brewing speed of my coffee maker.
