Keurig K-Duo Essentials Hot & Iced Single Serve K-Cup Pod & Carafe Coffee Maker, Gen 2

This version is superior to their mini Keurig. The K-cup side does not leak and I like that there is a decent sized reservoir in the back. The cold brew option is a nice addition. Despite also having a coffee pot carafe, it does not take up a lot of space on the counter. Found it cheapest at Walmart Online (with quick, free delivery) than alternative competitor's "big deal" days.

The only thing I would like to see different on this machine is an off switch on the full pot option. Once you turn it on it doesn’t shut off for a couple hours. We like to brew a pot and then pour into my husband’s thermos, but the machine keeps the burner on so we have to fill the pot with water to keep it from damaging the pot.

A good machine that offers both carafe and pod brewing. Only thing I don’t particularly like (and it’s my fault for not checking) is no ability to set a timer for future brewing. I like to be able to set my machine to have my coffee made in the morning.

The coffee brews tepid, not hot enough to stay or remain pleasantly hot (I think my threshold is maybe around 150 ) but its brewing at about 107 degrees, once i put room temperature non-dairy creamer in it the temp drops to something closer to cool bath water. We bought it on Black Friday and its brewed 4 pots, %26 all were cool (98 degrees) within 5 min of creamer, today is December 14 writing this review.

I do not know what this machine is as Keurig does not sell this machine on their site. I wasted my time cleaning it, doing the clean brew then trying to brew a carafe of coffee and all I kept getting was the light indicator to add more water when the reservoir was full to the very top. No matter what I did it was the same. It would sputter out something then the warming plate comes on. Water seems to also leak from beneath the reservoir. This does not brew coffee and it was a defective piece of flimsy junk I now have to go through all the trouble of repacking and returning.

I purchased this coffee maker Dec 24, 2024. The k cup side quit,working correctly approx 4 weeks ago. The lid to the basket on the coffee pot side has cracked and appears to have gotten too hot and slightly melted. It is under warranty with the Keurig company, but they have told me that my serial %23 is not valid, my proof of purchase is not valid, and I purchased a used unit. Which none of this is true. I would not recommend this coffee maker, nor a Keurig product.

This is the 2nd time I have bought this exact coffee maker. First time it broke after a year. We got it again because love the design and functionality, but it broke AGAIN after less than 2 months. It’s is not user error, it just stopped working. It’s a shame because it’s a very nice coffee maker. We are going to write to Keurig about it.

The single cup serve side leaks all over. None of the ounce selections are even near the amount they state. If you select 12 ounces you get around 8. It takes for ever to brew The pot side starts at 8 cups so if you just want 4 cups you waste coffee or else you get weak coffee. I got this on a black Friday sale for $79.00. The original price they say is $140. I wouldn’t even pay $59.00. Save your money and get a $29.00 Mr Coffee.

We’ve used Keurig coffee makers for over 10 years and loved them. When it came time to replace it decided on the duo so we could make a pot or single cup. POS 1. Can make a pot or single cup 2. Nice compact design 2. Easy to use Cons 1. Quit working after 2 weeks. 2. Went to make a cup of coffee but nothing lite up. Tried to troubleshoot with no avail then called customer service and was told to send it back and they would send a new one after they checked this one out. 3. Older style you could select 8- 16 oz, this on only allow 6, 10, 12 oz cup or a pot. 4. After reviewing online to get up to 16 oz you would need to purchase the $399 . Like I mentioned we’ve been using Keurig for over 10 years but the quality isn’t the same. Maybe I got a defective one but the con’s outweighs the pro’s. I’m purchasing another brand.

I think we might have got a faulty unit, but it broke after only four months. We also had issues with it only making too much coffee regardless of the setting. We could set it to the lowest setting, and it would always fill it up to the top, so clearly something was wrong. Not very high quality. Let's do that because I do like having a water tank and both the ability to make a pot of coffee as well as individual cups within the same condensed unit. If it doesn't work and it falls apart after four months, then it's a waste of money.
