The K-Classic is also compatible with all K-Cup pods, so you have over 500 varieties of coffee at your disposal, from a bold and dark roast to an herbal mix and light. It also includes variable brew sizes, i.e., you can brew between 6 to 10 ounces.
The K-Classic's auto-off ensures that you can enjoy your coffee without wasting energy. And with a 48-ounce removable reservoir and filter basket, it's a breeze to clean.
My experiences fiddling with the K-Classic have taught me the joys of quietly nestled simplicity. There is something so satisfying about this machine—no theatrics, no guessing—just plain pleasure that leaves you coolly restored if only temporarily.
If you want a coffee machine that is convenient, versatile, and of excellent quality all rolled into one, stop searching. Take your coffee to new heights today by introducing the K-Classic into your life. You're not buying a coffee machine; you're investing in smiles, cup by cup.
Pros:
It has a 48-ounce water reservoir, which is larger than most other single-serve coffee makers.
It is capable of being used with a wide range of K-Cup pods, so you will have many coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and other beverage choices.
The design is straightforward, with only a few buttons to control the brewing process, so even an individual who is not a coffee maker user can use it easily.
The K-Classic makes a cup of coffee in under one minute, so it is simple to quickly and effectively have your coffee cup.
Cons:
While the K-Classic does allow for adjustable cup sizes, there is very little adjustment that can be done for the strength of coffee and other brewing options.
A Bonus Recipe
White Chocolate Mocha
Ingredients
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup good quality white chocolate, chopped
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1–2 shots (1/4 cup) hot espresso or double-strength coffee*
Whipped cream (optional)
White chocolate curls**
Preparation
Step 1: Combine milk and white chocolate in a heatproof bowl and place the bowl over a saucepan that is about one-third full of boiling water. (The water level should be under the bowl, not touching it.) Stir constantly until chocolate is melted. Whip in the vanilla using a whisk, hand blender, or electric mixer. Continue to whip about a minute until the warm mixture is loosely frothy.
Step 2: Pour the espresso (or double-strength coffee) into a large mug. Add the steamed white chocolate milk and stir to blend the flavors. You can top with whipped cream, but it’s just as delicious without. Garnish with white chocolate curls, and drink with joy!
*Note on coffee: For double-strength coffee, simply make a strong version of your regular cup. For example, in a drip coffee maker, instead of using 1½ to 2 tablespoons of ground coffee for every six ounces of water, use 3 to 4.
**Note on curls: To create chocolate curls, start with a block of room temperature chocolate.
Using a vegetable peeler, scrape the block and you'll see curls of chocolate peel away
