I was able to position the reservoir either at the back, or on either side of the machine. Water reservoir: I was truly mesmerized by the design of the 60oz removable water reservoir. I personally don’t love stainless steel carafes, as they yield slightly metallic taste.

This was not my experience, and the carafe is not made like a thermos. Keurig makes claims that the stainless steel carafe can keep coffee hot for 2 hours.

The carafe has a design that makes pouring easy. The compact design and the the movable water tank allow for a more efficient positioning.Ĭarafe: Keurig K-Duo Plus machine comes with a 12 cups, thermal, stainless steel carafe. The machine has a height of 14in, a width of 7.5 in, and a depth of 16in. Unit size: The unit itself is compact and convenient. This was a bit more than expected, given the size of the coffee maker. I was surprised that it weighted about 16 pounds. Weight: When I was preparing this Keurig K-Duo Plus review, I thought the machine would be lighter. The drip coffee maker brewed 6 cups, 8 cups, 10 cups or 12 cups at once. However, please note that you will need to remove the 2.0 adapter on the bottom of the accessory and remove the K-Cup Holder from inside the brewer in order for the My k-cup filter to fit properly.īeverage size: A single serve part allowed me to choose between 6 oz, 8 oz, 10 oz and 12 oz of coffee. The K-Duo Plus is compatible with My k-cup reusable filters. To increase the life of the filter the use of a 12 cups paper filter is also recommended. It comes with a reusable, gold tone mesh filter. The basket drawer can be easily open by pulling it outwards. Voltage: Keurig K-Duo Plus is made for 120V, and can be used in Canada and the US only.īasket size: Duo Plus machine comes with a basket size large enough for 15 tablespoons of ground coffee and 12 tablespoons of decaf (Keurig recommends that we should use one table spoon of ground coffee for each cup).

a strong button tended to yield slightly stronger coffee.

The Cup and Carafe buttons also had ON/OFF functions (if pressed for several seconds), and I was able to choose between 6, 8, 10 or 12 cups for a carafe, or 6 oz, 8 oz, 10 oz, or 12 oz for a single cup.

2 buttons to choose either a single cup or a carafe, and.

The control panel was fairly straightforward and featured only 5 buttons: I could keep it to the left, right or to the back of the machine. Its design allowed me to remove and re-position the reservoir as necessary. I was most excited about the 60oz water reservoir.

A little more towards the back, there was a k-cup filter holder. Right on top of the basket drawer, there are some controls and the digital timer. I was able to open it up by pulling outwards. Right on top of the pouring outlet, I found a coffee basket for a drip coffee maker version. Both the single serve and the drip brewing use the same pouring outlet, located in the front of the machine. This machine is more compact and it save space. It looked really great with stainless steel accents on the carafe and a top partition. Just like the other Keurig coffee machine, K-Duo Plus was made mainly of plastic and had a minimalist, but very fashionable black design. I was so delighted when I got my own model for this Keurig K-Duo Plus review.
