Brewing Comfort with Keurig Coffee Maker

Keurig K-Duo Plus Single Serve Coffee Maker Review

By: Alicia Walters Revised by: Mark Cambell Last updated: Feb 3, 2024

Keurig K-Duo Plus Single Serve & Carafe Coffee Maker is a pioneering dual-function coffee maker that combines the best of both worlds - single serve for one cup at a time and a classic 12 cup glass carafe for a full pot of coffee. It is ideal for a home with different needs and preferences for coffee sizes. And with its streamlined space-savvy design along with convenient smart features like an iced coffee setting and a Pause & Pour feature, the K-Duo Plus truly excels at functionality and user experience.

Single Serve Convenience with Carafe Brewing

The most prominent feature of the K-Duo Plus is clearly its two Brewing abilities. It features a K-Pod chamber to brew single serve K-Cup pods and also a ground coffee filter basket that can be used separately to brew a full carafe of drip coffee.

For single serve, just lift the handle, insert your favorite K-Cup pod and close the handle to puncture the pod. Choose from 6-, 8-, 10- or 12-ounce brew sizes for different mug sizes. The K-Duo Plus is compatible with all Keurig K-Cup pods so that you can enjoy hundreds of delicious flavors. For carafe brewing, simply place 4 to 12 tablespoons of your favorite ground coffee into the ground coffee filter basket and the K-Duo Plus will automatically brew a full pot of coffee into the included glass carafe.

Smart Handy Features

In addition to the double brewing ability, K-Duo Plus also offers some useful features to accompany the entire experience. With the large 60 ounce removable reservoir, you will not have to refill as often if you are brewing more than one cup at a time. The 'Strong Brew' button makes your single cup stronger and more concentrated.

My favorite feature is the 'Pause & Pour' function that allows you to pour a cup of drip coffee from the carafe halfway through the brew. So, if you just can't wait for the whole pot to brew, you can pause it, pour yourself a cup, and then the K-Duo Plus will resume brewing the rest on its own. Auto-shutoff offers peace of mind by automatically shutting off the machine 2 hours after the last brew for safety and for saving energy.

This Keurig Coffee Maker also features easy-to-use functionality like a removable drip tray for catching drips, an accent trim ring in 4 colors to match your home décor, and cord storage to maintain clutter-free countertops. For performance and smart features, the K-Duo Plus offers absolutely unbeatable value in its category.

Through its power-laden features, premium finish and ability to brew both K-Cup pod coffee and carafe drip coffee, this Keurig Coffee Maker is a top-notch investment item that can fulfill the most high-demanding needs of a household. For excellent quality coffee in any amount, the K-Duo Plus is all you'll ever need. I highly recommend it for any coffee lover or office/home use.
