K-Duo Gen 1

My wife and I had been looking for a multi-purpose machine, one which makes both a carafe and a pod of coffee. I had seen this and after some investigation, we bought it. Observations: This is a basic machine which does not have a lot of features. I've read a number of reviews complaining the carafe spout design allows a few drops of beverage to spot the countertop. All one has to do is slow down when pouring. The wide spout is conducive to pouring quickly. Me, myself, I pour my coffee over the sink so any drips or drops go in it. Alternatively, a dish towel could be placed on the counter and poured over it. Keurig uses a 5 ounce cup measure for the carafe side. The carafe is 12 cups. 12x5=60, which is the exact reservoir size. READ the directions! This machine is easy to use and does exactly what it says it will do. To expect it to do X when it isn't designed to do, it is unreasonable to expect that performance. If you need a different set of features, find the brewer which has them. Don't buy it and then gripe it doesn't do something it was never designed or equipped to do. Pros: The machine does exactly what it says it will do, day in and day out. It has a 2 hour auto shut-off for the carafe side and a 2-3 minute shut off on the pod size. Easy and intuitive to use. It is simple to maintain. I descale it as needed with the Keurig solution. I descale about every 3 months. Depending on your water, you may have to descale more often, or less depending on your use. You can brew a carafe and use the pod side while the warming plate of the carafe is on. Haven't tried to brew both sides at once. It can be programmed to auto-brew at any given time, however, you must set the auto-brew function each brew cycle. This prevents the machine from automatically brewing a pre-programmed setting when the reservoir is nearly empty or empty. This is simply a safety measure. Cons: The directions which came with my machine says none of the parts are dishwasher safe. I would think for the money, a simple change of plastics composition would be in order without raising the price. The carafe glass stains easily, though it is easy to clean. The glass feels flimsy but I haven't dropped it. It doesn't come with the gold mesh filter, though it can be ordered or purchased at the grocery store. UPDATE: I've regularly descaled the machine with vinegar. Today however, I could not get the descale cycle completed, that is, without some frustration. I'd run out of vinegar and had (fortunately) 2 bottles of the Keurig descaler solution. I used the first bottle and was shocked at the amount of scale it removed. After completing the Duo instructions for descaling, I encountered 2 problems. First, the descale warning light would not go away. The second and most frustrating, is that in the carafe rinse, I would not get the full amount of required water to dispense. Instead of 12 cups, it gave me 8. I thought it was my mistake and I refilled the reservoir and tried it again, making sure I selected the 12 cup carafe amount. This time I got 2 and in the last attempt I got perhaps a few ounces. The pump made a whining, thudding noise. Spending a few minutes on Google told me the issue with no water was either the pump was out or debris in the line. I ran the second bottle of Keurig descale solution and let it sit for about 30 minutes. I then repeated the rinse instructions and this time I got the full amount of dispensed water. The descale lights did not turn off as expected. I learned there is a manual reset sequence which solves it. With the power "ON" press and hold the 8 cup and 10 cup selection buttons for about 5 seconds. Mine turned off immediately.

Love it. We use it mostly for single cups but so nice to have the large coffee pot and grounds reservoir available.

This product was literally a genius idea, Keurig! The possibility of brewing either a single cup or a whole pot with only one machine is like a gift from the heavens for me! I typically only have one cup of coffee on weekday mornings, but on the weekends I'll drink multiple cups in a day, so it's wonderful to have both options in one machine, instead of having to configure two separate machines in my hardly non-existent counter space. I currently own 2 other Keurig models - the Keurig K15 Coffee Maker which I keep on my desk at work and use EVERY morning, and the Keurig K-Classic Coffee Maker which I received as a gift and keep at my home on the counter. I LOVE my K15 and have had it for 8 years (purchased for my dorm room in 2011), and it is still functioning perfectly. For the K15, it's a single serve type so you turn it on, pour in your desired amount of water, put your coffee pod in, and hit BREW.. and that's literally it. You're free to do whatever while the machine heats the water and then your coffee pours out when it's done (typically less than a 5 minute process from start to finish) - I never knew that was such a big deal to me until I got the K-Classic version (which has the water reservoir on the left side). For the K-Classic, you have to turn it on, then the machine heats the water (which takes wayyyy longer than I wish it did, I don't leave the machine turned on when not in use so it has to heat up and get prepped every time I use it which generally takes 5-10 minutes just to get to the point where I can start the brew) and once the water is heated THEN you put in your coffee pod, pick your desired size, and then the coffee brews and pours out. I literally hardly use my K-Classic because you have to turn it on and then come BACK to it to even start it - with the addition of that extra step along with the wait time it adds, it just doesn't fit into my lifestyle very well (there isn't a morning where I'm NOT rushing around multitasking while getting ready and ultimately leaving late for work - every minute is precious!). When I saw a review of this K-Duo™ Single Serve & Carafe Coffee Maker on youtube (thanks @jelly007) I literally bought it immediately. It fits my needs PERFECTLY, because it has a water reservoir like the K-Classic which is hugely convenient, but the water heating functions the same as the K15 did, where you turn the machine on and select what you want, pop your pod in, and you can go do whatever you need to do while it heats the water then brews, then come back when it's ready (which, seriously Y'ALL, it takes 2 minutes from start to finish to make a single serve cup). I gave my K-Classic to my parents because this point about the timing of when the water heats literally sells the machine for me, along with the specific availability to do either a single serve cup or a whole pot (carafe) with ONE machine - it's the coffee maker of my dreams and I wouldn't change a thing about it!

J’ai reçu ma cafetière quatre jours plus tard . J’ai admiré la vitesse de livraison ❤️

Programmable carafe function is pretty handy, does what it says it does.

Pesimo, la cafetera venia en mal estado, sucia de que había sido usada anteriormente, no traía instructivo, estaba rayada, y nunca prendio.

I gave it to my son and they love it

Todo estaba perfecto hasta que hoy 15 días después de empezar a usarla falló y no bombea agua ni en el compartimento de cápsulas ni en la jarra. Ya inicie la solicitud de cambio, una vez llegue la otra y esté funcionando bn actualizo mi comentario Actualización. Ya me reembolsaron lo de la compra sin ningún problema. Por la falla que presentó pienso si comprar una nueva o decidirme por otra marca que sea compatible con cápsulas Keurig
