Review: I am absolutely thrilled with the Keurig® K-Duo Plus⢠Single Serve & Carafe coffee maker! This versatile machine has revolutionized my morning coffee routine and has become an indispensable part of my kitchen.The dual-functionality of the K-Duo Plus is a game-changer. Whether I'm in the mood for a quick cup of coffee to kickstart my day or brewing a full carafe for weekend gatherings, this coffee maker delivers every time.

The process is incredibly easy; just pop in a K-Cup® pod of my favorite flavor, and within moments, I have a hot and delicious cup of coffee ready to go. The coffee tastes rich and flavorful, just the way I like it.On the other hand, the carafe option is a true blessing when I have guests or need a large volume of coffee. The convenience of brewing up to 12 cups at once is fantastic, and the thermal carafe keeps the coffee hot for hours without sacrificing its flavor.The control panel is user-friendly and intuitive, allowing me to customize the brew strength and size according to my preferences.

Title: Easy to use, dependable, and makes great coffee
Review: I had this machine for a few years and it was used every day and sometimes more than once a day. It moved with me across the states and kept working until I accidentally dropped it. I wanted the same machine because I was used to it and it worked so well for many years. I love the carafe as it keeps the coffee warm without any additional heat. I can make an entire pot or just a cup (I use my own small k-cup.) Great product!

Title: So far so good
Review: We bought this coffee maker do to our last 3 glass carafes broken on our duo Keurig coffee makers. These carafes are VERY individualized and will not work with different duo systems.The carafes cost as much as a new coffee maker. The glass carafes always drip when you pour the coffee.This stainless pot, will not crack, break and most importantly it does NOT drip when I pour coffee.My coffee stays warm for several hours with out burning.The water reservoir is very nice. I have moved mine to the back. This makes a smaller footprint on my counter.I am very happy with our new coffee maker.I threw away the other 2 duo coffee makers that needed new carafes.

Title: Keurig K-Duo Plus vs Hamilton Beach FlexBrew
Review: I purchased both of these pots at the same time (Keurig here on Amazon and the FlexBrew from our local big-box store). Here is my analysis:Things these two share in common:* They make great coffee!* They both make a carafe or a single serving with a K-cup or with your own grounds in a k-cup adapter.* They both make a carafe with up to 12 cups, or 60 oz (you lose some fluid in the brew process, achieving more like 56 to 57 oz).* They are both programmable for an auto-brew.* They both have an option for strong/bold coffee and the option applies to both the carafe and the single-serving side.Keurig K-Duo Plus pros:* Attractive.* Small footprint good for smaller kitchens.* Has a reservoir to hold water for multiple cups.* Comes with a thermal carafe.* Comes with a gold filter and water filter.* Has easy-to-read push buttons for size options.* Carafe and single cup options come out of the same spout - less cleaning involved.* Fast brew process.* Little to no steam escaping the top, so it seems safe to place under cabinets. And because of the separate removable reservoir, it can be used just fine beneath cabinets without pulling it out to fill.Keurig K-Duo Plus cons:* Expensive.* Size options limited. For a carafe, you can choose 6, 8, 10, or 12 cups. For a single cup, you have the same choices (in ounces). There are no in-between sizes, and the maximum K-cup size you can make is 12 oz.* Coffee filter basket is a bit hard to pull out and push back in.* Gold filter does not have a handle.* To use a "My K-cup" adapter with your own grounds requires fully pulling out the coffee basket, reaching up inside, and popping out the piece that punctures the K-cup. So switching between K-cups and your own grounds for a single brew is super cumbersome.* Does not include a "My K-cup" adapter for your own grounds. That must be purchased separately.* Height is quite tall and it can be difficult to see the button controls if your cabinets are low or cast a shadow. Could be difficult to insert a K-cup for some.Hamilton Beach FlexBrew pros:* MUCH more affordable.* Less buttons to push as water output is based upon how much water you put in at the time of brewing.* Single serving side will do up to 14 ounces.* Single serving size is dependent upon how much water you put in, thus making the size more customizable - so you can do a small espresso cup, for example, with only 4 ounces.* Carafe sizes are also customizable up to 12 cups, based upon how much water your put in.* Slightly shorter than the Keurig.* Includes a mesh filter for the single-serving side, for using your own grounds.* Storage for the single-serving mesh filter is beneath the single-serving drip tray which is quite handy.* Coffee is really hot, so you can add liquid creamer and not feel like you have to microwave it.Hamilton FlexBrew cons:* Not as attractive as the Keurig. Bulkier.* Does NOT include a gold filter. That must be purchased separately.* Does not have a reservoir that stays filled and ready to go. It must be filled each time you brew.* Takes longer to brew than the Keurig.* Two separate spouts for carafe and for single serving. Therefore, two spouts that need cleaning/descaling.* No thermal carafe included (They have that as another model, but it only does 10 cups).* More difficult to fill the reservoirs since they are at the back of the machine. If placing this beneath cabinets, one would probably need to pull the machine out when using in order to reach and fill the reservoirs.Final decision: in the end, I went for the FlexBrew, as I decided I preferred the ability to make up to 14 ounces on the single-serving side, so it fully fills my cup. While the instructions say not to exceed 10 ounces for actual K-cups, I have been putting in 14 ounces, selecting the bold brew, and it seems to work just fine. I also like that it's easy to switch between K-cups and using your own grounds on the single-serving side. Plus, there's storage for the mesh filter right on the pot, so I don't have to go searching for the accessory. The better price tag is a big factor too, of course. I did end up buying a gold filter and a separate thermal carafe for those days when needed, although we usually drink the full carafe pretty quickly. Even with the purchase of the thermal carafe and gold filter, the price tag on this is still significantly less than the Keurig. I didn't need to place this beneath a cabinet, so that issue wasn't significant for me. If you need yours beneath a cabinet, I would probably recommend the Keurig.

Review: I received my duo via Amazon but when I ordered it didnât specify that it was from Costco. They shipped quicker than expected, and included a bonus 1 lb ground coffee, 48 KCups and a spare coffee machine filter. So I was already impressed before even firing it up.Love the slim design and removable water canister that can be placed on the back or side. Love not having to fill the pot with water first then pour it into a coffee maker, usually ending up with water on the counter.The design allows me to make a pot of coffee and then use a KCup function or just straight water through the KCup function without having to remove the full pot coffee filter. They function through two different places. This important to note because if you want hot water for tea, it doesnât run through the full pot coffee filter area and taste like coffee.The coffee comes through hot into an insulated pot instead of warm and heated on a burner resulting in a bitter cup of coffee. Note, there is no burner. This actually works well for us as having a water softener, as with our other coffee makers, on occasion after washing the pot and placing on the burner, the salted water has corroded other coffee pot burners.Anyway, the flavour of the coffee is superior to any other coffee maker I have had.Now, the one flaw; insulated pot doesnât close completely so the coffee stays âwarmâ for two hours as advertised. Warm, not hot. Since my husband leaves for work before 5 am and coffee is timed for him, by the time I get a cup shortly after 6 am, it is warm, not hot. If I add cream, I have to reheat it in the microwave. This is a small point, not major but if you think it keeps the coffee hot for two hours you would be disappointed. The coffee is good enough to drink black though so without cream, itâs usually warm enough for the first much needed cup.

Review: This machine takes up much less counter space than the earlier K-Duo, which I replaced after breaking two glass carafes, which are very expensive and slow to be delivered. It takes up less counter space and the water tank is easier to handle. It brews more quickly and the insulated stainless steel carafe keeps the coffee hot longer than the old one, which switched off automatically after a period of time. And hopefully, this carafe is unlikely to break.
Customers say

Some appreciate the water reservoir. However, some customers have mixed opinions on the coffee temperature, functionality, brewing capacity, and durability.
