Keurig K-Elite Single Serve K-Cup Pod Coffee Maker, with Strength and Temperature Control, Iced Coffee Capability, 8 to 12oz Brew Size, Programmable, Brushed Gold

This coffee maker is everything I wanted and more. The Keurig K-Elite blends function and style beautifully—its brushed silver finish looks sleek on my counter, and the performance is top-notch. I love the strength and temperature controls, which let me customize each cup exactly to my taste. It heats up fast, runs quietly, and the iced coffee setting brews rich, flavorful coffee without getting watered down.The 75oz reservoir is a game-changer—I don’t have to refill constantly—and the hot water on demand is great for oatmeal or tea. Whether I need a quick 8oz burst of caffeine or a full 12oz mug for the road, this machine delivers consistently great coffee. Worth every penny if you take your brews seriously.

Works great, easy to program, not very compact, if you have to store it ( not on a countertop) check space requirements. Takes minimal amount of brewing time, haven't had a leak, and depending on your selection of coffee, coffee turns out good.

This is the 2nd Keurig machine that I have owned, the previous being a K145 OfficePro that I had for almost 10 years. I bought the new machine because the K145s cup size selector switch started to malfunction, probably from the contacts getting worn out from use. Being an engineer, I know that this only happened because of inferior design and/or parts quality. Neverthless, I was able to grab this unit on sale for labor day. I'm not sure if I would have paid full price for it, but it seems to be worth what I paid. I have made several observations after using this machine for over a month, hopefully to help the rest of you make an informed buying decision.Pros:- Makes better coffee than my K145. I would imagine this is due to Keurig changing the time and/or water delivery speed of the brewing process. Using good-quality K-Cups, it makes coffee on par with using a good-quality drip machine (like my Ninja). The coffee is notiably richer and more full-bodied compared with the K145 using the same K-Cups. This was a surprize to me, as I expected just a more expensive version of the old machine. Being that I love good coffee, this alone would have justified the purchased in my book.- The pump makes half of the noise that the K145 did. This is also a plus because I get up early for work and don't want to disturb the rest of the family. The brew time is about the same.- The machine now allows 2 extra cup size selections -- 14oz and 4oz, 1 larger and 1 smaller (by 2 oz) than on the K145.- The machine will dispense hot water to make tea or hot chocolate. I can't comment on this feature yet, as I have yet to use it.- The water tank is 20%-30% larger than on the K154, leading to more time between refills.- This machine is compatible with non-Keurig K-Cups, as there is no barcode reader in the machine. Don't get me started.Cons:- The water tank was a product of the 'function follows form' perspective of some marketing idiot. The tank doesn't have any convenient surfaces to grip it in one hand, and due to it's compound curves is difficult to reinsert into the machine correctly. It's a 2-handed operation, due to their wanting to hide the water tank and make it look like the other half of the machine from an industrial design perspective. Mildly annoying.- The water tank doesn't have a window on the front to check the water level. Another brilliant design choice. Now I have to peek around the side to determine how much water is left.- The menu system of the digital pad is mildly confusing, and takes a little getting used to. It's not terrible, but it could be more user friendly. Playing with the settings using trial and error is more useful than trying to read the manual, which was probably written by the same person who designed the water tank.All-in-all, the better quality of the coffee, the larger water tank, and the quieter operation justifies the upgrade. Reccommended, with a few reservations.

OMG! I absolutely am in love with this coffee maker. I wish I had bought it a long time ago. I look forward to my morning coffee now because it's so easy to make. Delicious, quick.. I'm telling you I will forever have a coffee maker like this!!!!!

The machine is great. I already had one that was a few years old maybe 5 to 6 years and I felt that it was time for me to get a new one. The old one worked fine. I cleaned it up a little and donated it and told them that it did work. This Keurig has a few different features than what I’m used to. I also picked the silver color, which is absolutely great. It brightens up the area that I placed it in. I normally hate getting anything new since I have to learn how to use it and with this Keurig there’s about maybe 20% that is completely new and it was relatively easy to learn to do except that you have to remember by the next day what you learnedthe day before and being a senior citizen, your memory is not that great lol.It was easy to put together and get it to start. I do have one major complaint, and that would be the way it was delivered. I live on the second floor, and it the box was left on the first floor in front of a garbage shoot there are no condos in that area where the box was left. Luckily a neighbor spotted it, looked at the label and saw that it belonged to somebody up on the second floor, and I got a knock on the door about two hours after it was delivered to the garbage shoot and I am very happy for nice neighbors. A picture was taken of the box and where it was left you can see grass alongside the bottom of the picture and you can see the garbage shoot on top of the box. I did leave a comment to Amazon and I have not heard anything from them yet and I really don’t expect to hear anything from them. But all in all, I’m very happy that I got it and that it really works well and I do love it so I’m happy.
