This is the BEST Keurig Coffee Maker you can buy for your home, period.
Over the last 20 years or so I have been what some may call a “coffee snob”. I spent hundreds or even thousands on machines that offered up manual experiences, auto experiences and even lived with a Nespresso system for two years. After my very pricey Jura machine broke down (for the 3rd time) I decided enough was enough. I went to Keurig even though I knew it would bring less flavor yet more convenience.
I started with a $99 deal at my local walmart and I hated it. The coffee tasted burnt half the time or the water was just not hot. I returned it and bought the next up in line and I believe I spent close to $200 for this one which was better, but it broke down after 94 days in use. I loved the selection of K Cups at grocery stores and hoped I could find a machine that would make coffee that tasted good, was hot and also be reliable and look nice.
I searched the stores and found nothing that seemed better than what I had. Then I found THIS.
The machine you see above is a premium, much better quality built Keurig that they say is for “commercial” use yet it is perfect for the home and finally brought reliability (now going strong for two years, no issues), better flavor, a huge reservoir and a very nice looking touch screen that works like a charm. It allows you to choose form normal or strong and you can go up to 12 ounces for your coffee, which is nice. Oh, and the coffee is piping HOT rather than lukewarm from some of the home machines. No, you do not have to plumb this to your water as it has a huge reservoir. If you like though, you can hook it up to your water source and have endless water. I use the reservoir.
For me, the K-2500 is what every home model from Keurig should be like as it is perfect for a Keurig. I am the only one who drinks coffee in my house. This would be perfect for families of 1-4 coffee drinkers and it is meant to be a workhorse. It even had a very thick commercial power cord which is so nice compared to the cheap ones used on the home machines.
The beauty is you can buy this on Amazon Prime and they always have deals. As I look today it is $379 but I have seen it as low as $349 from time to time.
What I know is this. For the last two years I no longer thought about what new coffee machine to buy as I have had no issues at all with the K-2500. In fact I wish I could afford to buy a 2nd one, just to have as a backup just in case this one ever bites the dust, but honestly, I do not see that happening for many years to come.
Stop The Madness
My mom had a Keurig machine, broke down in 7 months. She had to buy another, and guess what? That one lasted 5 months. When she saw mine at my house she asked me what it was, and I told her it was a Keurig but one made for commercial use. She asked why I had one if it was for “the office” and then I explained it all, demoed it for her and she went home and ordered one immediately. She loves her K2500 and has only one complaint about it….it takes about 60 seconds to heat the water before you can make a coffee. Thats only in the morning when waking it from sleep. Other than that she loves it and said it was a smart choice after she lost $250 on the last two that broke down early.
Reading reviews of some of these machines I see many say the same thing, the home machines seem to fail again and again for so many. I am happy that I stopped this madness of buying disposable Keurig machines. Now I own one that improved the taste, the temp and looks awesome on my counter.
100% recommended for all homes, the Keurig K-2500 is my #1 pick for home use. Yep, you will pay more up front ($150-$200) but you will have a machine that lasts and just works, and it works awesome. I wouldn’t own any other Keurig for my home.
