Customer Reviews

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife and I are coffee lovers. We enjoy freshly brewed coffee several times a day. Before reviewing the Keurig K-Supreme we were using a high-end, self-grinding, drip brewer. The coffee is outstanding, but as we get older the daily, arduous cleanup and toilsome maintenance is very trying. Especially, since we used this unit several times a day. YUK! Having seen the K-Pod coffee take over most of the grocery store shelving over the past years made me curious about the quality of this kind of coffee brewing. But, we were happy with the quality of our Grind 'N Brew in spite of the grueling daily cleanup. So, when I had an opportunity to review the Keurig K-Supreme Coffee Maker in exchange for the product I wondered if this Keurig was a superior coffee maker. At first we compared a cup of our Grind 'N Brew to one from the Keurig, and were most pleasantly surprised by the taste and quality. Our Grind 'N Brew makes a minimum of four cups. So, unless we drink at least two cups a piece the other two are wasted since they won't stay hot and fresh for two or more hours. The Keurig makes single servings from four different sizes, 6, 8, 10 and 12 ounces and brews them up at 170 degrees F anytime we choose, and NO laborious cleanup. YooHoo! Since the pods are sealed they stay fresh at room temperature for long periods then storing our coffee beans in the freezer or fridge. The 24 pack of K-Pods we purchased has a 'Best Used By' date of one year from our purchase date. How cool is that? Since we have already used our original 24-pack purchase over the past two weeks using the Keurig K-Supreme and K-Cup pods freshness is never going to be an issue. So, why should you buy this new Keurig K-Supreme?: ** EXCELLENT BREWED COFFEE - The Keurig K-Supreme employs their latest proprietary, MultiStream Technology, which uses multiple streams of hot water to permeate the K-Cup pod for full bodied flavor and aroma. There are actually five needle streams of water, which pierce the top wrapping of the sealed, foiled pod to fill it evenly for excellent coffee making, and only one at the bottom. The actual water flow has been engineered for maximum, even saturation. The unit offers me the choices of 6, 8, 10 and 12 ounce-sized cups. It also allows me to fill my insulated, 'To Go' cup. ** Well Designed & Engineered – Keurig has been making their highly successful K-Cups since 1998. They have been the market leader and innovator in single serve coffeemakers. Keurig has perfected the art of marrying great tasting, high quality, and fresh coffee in their specially designed, single serve coffee brewers. There is a generously-sized water reservoir, 66 ounces, which eliminates constant filling for each single serve. The total height of the K-Supreme is 17 inches with the Brew Handle in the upright position so it easily fits under standard counter tops with top cabinetry. It has a small footprint, approximately 12.2 inches high (with handle closed); 17 inches high (with handle fully up); 8 inches wide with reservoir tank on left side, and 12 inches deep with reservoir on side. The reservoir is dual position and can be placed on left side or back of unit. When the reservoir is mounted at the back of unit the depth is 15 inches. This whole unit can fit into a space approximately 8 inches wide by 15 inches deep with reservoir mounted on back saving valuable counter space. WooHoo! ** SIMPLE CONTROLS – On the top of the unit sits all the controls. An 'ON/OFF Power Button' is on the right towards the back. But, keep in mind that the unit actually turns ON when the top Brewer Handle is lifted to insert a K-Cup pod. It automatically turns itself OFF after 5 minutes from my last brew. There are two indicator lights, one for 'Add Water' and the other for 'DESCALE' when needed. In the center of the top is a circle with indicators for my choices of 6, 8, 10 and 12 ounce-sized cups. There is also a selector for 'STRONG' and 'OVER ICE' for iced coffee. Personally, I love the 'STRONG' Button. YUM! In the center of this control circle is the large 'K' or Brewing Button. When all selections have been made the 'K' Button starts the brewing process, which takes approximately two minutes. There is also a high altitude adjustment as illustrated in the Quick Start Guide. These controls are simplistic and straightforward. WoW! ** OTHER FEATURES – There is a filter on the bottom of the reservoir, which Keurig recommends be replaced every two months. The reservoir also has a 'MAX' fill line. At the front and bottom of the Keurig unit is a pullout Drip Tray. It is two-piece and easily wiped out and cleaned. Besides coffee pods this unit lends itself to accommodate tea and cocoa pods. ** WATER QUALITY – This is a key ingredient in delicious, tasting coffee. Plain tap water will never do this Keurig, or any other coffee maker justice. I am on well-water and have gone to great lengths to filter out the calcium carbonate and undesirable minerals from my water that I use for my coffee and cooking. However, bottled, and or, filtered water (not distilled) can be used just for this Keurig if house-filtered water is not available. Try it once in this machine, and, you will never go back to plain tap water. ** EZ CARE & MAINTENANCE – Occasionally, the 66 ounce reservoir and lid should be hand washed. Descale with the proper descaler recommended by Keurig when the DESCALER light is lit. Inspect the five brewing needles if brewing gets inconsistent because of clogging by coffee grounds. I use a cleansing brew once a week to dislodge any coffee grounds in the brewing needles and inspect the pod holder for cleanliness. ** SUMMARY - I highly recommend the purchase of this Keurig K-Supreme. The MultiStream Technology is a game changer in brewing luscious, tasting coffee. I love the simple convenience of popping in a K-Cup pod and in two minutes I have a satisfying, hot cup of delectable, tasting coffee. I no longer have any time-consuming, tedious cleanup. Woopee! This Keurig K-Supreme would make a great Shower, Wedding, or any-occasion gift to a special family member or friend. It would also make a great upgrade from an older model Keurig. Buy one – you won't be disappointed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Keurig K-Supreme Single Serve Coffee Maker is a new Keurig model, with great features. It delivers great coffee just like all Keurig machines! The K-Supreme is sleek and compact, and consumes a minimal amount of countertop space. It offers the additional flexibility of being able to mount the water reservoir either on the left side or the rear of the unit, to better optimize countertop space and convenience. The reservoir is factory configured for left-side installation, and that is how we chose to use it. In that side mounted configuration, the K-Supreme has a footprint of approximately 8” x 12”. The clear plastic reservoir has a generous 66 ounce capacity. Water is drawn, as needed, from the bottom of the easily removed reservoir. Thus far, the valve on the reservoir has functioned perfectly, and not a drop of water has leaked during refilling and replacing the reservoir on the base of the unit. A black plastic cover tops off the reservoir. Curiously, upon opening the factory sealed K-Supreme box, the top of the unit adjacent to the reservoir and the top cover of the reservoir tank were both very wet with water. I can only surmise that Keurig tests each coffee maker with water, during the manufacturing process. Since UPS, FedEx and USPS all seem to regard the “This Side Up” notices and arrows as “suggestions” rather than directions, this unit was inverted upon receipt. If you have a K-Supreme shipped, you may have a similar experience. The K-Supreme includes a water filter, which is mounted in a clear plastic “filter holder” which is then installed in the reservoir. The instructions for use of a new water filter are to soak the filter for five minutes and then rinse for 60 seconds. The filter, which is a small spun fabric pouch, appears to contain activated charcoal. Therefore, this filter will not only prevent large particulates from entering the machine (and the brewed coffee), but it should also remove (by absorption) some of the chlorine and other impurities which introduce objectionable tastes and odors in water. (Keurig warns against using distilled water in the brewer). Keurig states that the activated carbon filter should be replaced every two months, or 60 reservoir refills. Using the Keurig K Supreme is exceptionally simple and straightforward, and even luddites will not be intimidated. The top of the K-Supreme unit includes a power button. However, the unit turns on automatically when the handle is lifted, and the unit turns off automatically five minutes after completion of a brewing cycle (unit should be unplugged when not in use). Two small LED indicator lamps are also located on top. One serves to notify the user that water needs to be added to the reservoir, and the other provides notice of the need to descale the unit (after 250 brewing cycles). The brewing cycle control buttons are arranged circularly around a centrally located Brew Start button, which is emblazoned with a large “K”. All of the control buttons are LED backlit, and flash in unison while awaiting the user’s selection. Once a brewing option is selected by depressing the appropriate button (s), followed by depressing the center “K” – Brew button, the selection remains illuminated (solid) until the brewing cycle is completed, whereupon the LED backlighting is extinguished, clearly indicating the end of cycle. The backlit buttons not only facilitate brewing coffee in a low light setting, but they also provide clear confirmation of the user’s selections. Options include brewing 6 oz, 8 oz, 10 oz or 12 oz servings, as well as a choice of “Strong” for a more robust brew and “Over Ice” for brewing directly over ice (at a lower temperature) when preparing iced coffee or tea. The drip tray and unit height easily accommodate a broad range of cup and mug sizes, including tall travel mugs. The K-Supreme starts brewing within just seconds of pushing the Brew button. It is particularly impressive and convenient that not only the first cup brewing starts so rapidly, but so does brewing of a second cup immediately thereafter. The K-Supreme has a new design that Keurig labels as Multi-Stream Technology. The K-Supreme features five (5) needles/nozzles which puncture the foil top of the K-Cup pods and introduce the hot brewing water to the pod. Keurig states that this new design, by more evenly saturating the ground coffee, more efficiently extracts flavor and aroma. We found that the K-Supreme produced exceptionally robust brewed coffee. Even the 10 oz setting resulted in extremely strong coffee. Clearly, any personal taste can be easily accommodated by the K-Supreme, whether the desired brew is strong, extremely strong, or “melt your fillings” strong! Of course, the K-Supreme is not limited to brewing coffee. Any Keurig approved K-Pod beverage, including tea and cocoa can be prepared with this system. Keurig maintenance recommendations include replacement of the activated carbon, in-tank water filter every 2 months, of 60 reservoir refills, and descaling the unit every 250 brew cycles (notification LED on top of unit). Keurig sells Brewer Care Kits containing replacement water filters, “rinse pods” and descaling solution. It is my understanding that Keurig Descaling Solution is citric acid based. I am not aware if descaling with a citric acid solution is superior to use of an acetic acid (vinegar) solution. The K-Supreme is compact and lightweight (approximately 8 lbs). Our only concern is that the plastic components, most notably the reservoir, filter holder, etc. likely require fairly gentle handling and use, to avoid any damage or breakage which might result from rough or careless handling or accidental impacts or drops. Having enjoyed the K-Supreme for only days, its long term durability is unknown. The Keurig K-Supreme is genuinely a great single serving, coffee brewing system. Operation could hardly be any simpler. Brewing speed is extremely fast, including both first and subsequent brewing cycles. The controls are very straightforward, and are comprised of brightly illuminated buttons which are a nice benefit for that first cup of coffee in a dimly lit kitchen. The selections provide all of the options necessary for serving size and brew strength. The reservoir has a generous capacity and an internal, replaceable activated carbon filter to remove unpleasant flavors from the brewing water. The reservoir installs and is removed with no effort, and no dripping water. The K-Supreme rarely, if ever drips any coffee after the conclusion of a brewing cycle. Thus, it is extremely easy to keep clean and sanitary. Most importantly, the Keurig K-Supreme delivers absolutely great coffee! The K-Supreme system produces strong, robust, full-bodied and flavorful coffee, and lots of the characteristic, inviting coffee aroma. The K-Supreme brews wonderful coffee in just minutes. Brewed coffee is dispensed and starts filling your cup/mug within seconds of pressing the Brew button, and the full brewing cycle is very rapid. When craving a cup of great coffee, the Keurig K-Supreme almost defines instant gratification. We are thus far extremely satisfied with the Keurig K-Supreme. It is working very well, and the coffee is fantastic! We certainly highly recommend the K-Supreme based on our experience.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Keurig K-Supreme Coffee Maker is a very nice evolution of the traditional Keurig single cup pod brewer. It is a very attractive unit, slim and elegantly styled in silver and matte black. It introduces several great new features and utilizes an innovative brewing system to extract maximum flavor from K-cups. Keurig was founded in Boston, Massachusetts in 1992. “Keurig” is Dutch for “elegant and neat” and chosen to describe their new single cup coffee-making process. The founders of the company invented the K-Cup and designed coffee makers which utilized the K-Cup to brew excellent coffee, one cup at a time, first in offices, then expanded to the home market. The secret of the K-Cup’s flavor is specially ground coffee held in a filter within the plastic K-Cup, which is pumped full of nitrogen and sealed with a foil cover to preserve freshness until use. Keurig has sold nearly 100 million K-Cup coffee makers during its existence. Today Keurig is part of a $13 billion public company which also owns Green Mountain Coffee, Dr. Pepper and Snapple. Here is a summary of the key features: • Model: Keurig K-Supreme Brewer (# K910) • Multi-Stream technology to extract more flavor/aroma • Brew sizes: 6, 8, 10 or 12 ounces • Compatible with all single serve K-Cup pods • Removable 66 ounce water reservoir • Water filtration filter and bracket (removable) • Smart Start: Auto power-on when K-Cup is inserted • Auto power-off 5 minutes after brewing • Controls: Power, Brew Strength, Iced Coffee, Cup size (6, 8, 10, 12 ounces), Brew Start • Two brew strengths: Classic and Strong • Iced coffee mode – Brews 6 ounces at lower temperature optimized for iced coffee • Descaling notice (light) every 250 brews • Low water level warning light • Cup tray removable to accommodate travel mugs • Compatible with My K-Cup reusable coffee filter (not included) • Removable parts are hand-wash only (not dishwasher-safe) • Color: Black and silver • Includes quick start guide. Full owner’s manual available at Keurig.com • Cord length: 30 inches • 1520 watt heating unit • Dimensions with side water reservoir: 12.2 inch height, 11.4 inch depth, 7.9 inch width Dimensions with rear water reservoir: 12.2 inch height, 14.6 inch depth, 4.8 inch width • Weight: 5.9 pounds • One year warranty on parts and labor I have used the classic Keurig B70 Platinum as my primary coffee maker for the past twelve years and it has produced over 8,000 cups of great coffee for me during that time. The new K-Supreme has some really big shoes to fill in replacing that reliable workhorse. When you unbox the Keurig K-Supreme you should be very impressed by the elegant design and the quality of construction. It is a beautiful combination of matte black and silver surfaces, accented by a crystal clear water reservoir. All controls are on the top, above the K-Cup basket. The cup holder/drip tray slides out to allow you to fill tall travel cups. One dominant impression is how slim this new brewer is, barely wider than a coffee cup. The water reservoir is located on the left side normally, but by just releasing a locking tab the water reservoir can be easily relocated to the rear of the unit. This makes the already slim coffee maker even more svelte – just 4.8 inches wide! And it is really not much deeper, just 14.6 inches compared to 11.4 inches deep with the reservoir on the side. If you have limited counter space this is a wonderful feature and only this Keurig model has it. If you have an older Keurig you are used to bringing water to the coffee brewer for refilling because lifting off and replacing the old style water reservoir is a bit awkward. The new K-Supreme has ended that problem – the 66-ounce water reservoir has a nice handle and is well-balanced which facilitates easy removal and refilling. This also encourages more frequent cleaning of the water reservoir. One nice improvement on the K-Supreme compared to my older Keurig is that you no longer have to reach behind the machine to turn it on. Power is activated when you swing up the top to insert the K-Cup. Also, you do not have to wait while the brewer heats the water (which the older machines require.) Just insert the K-Cup, lower the top, select the cup size, press the “K” brew start button and the brewing process starts. I measured the brewing time for a 12 ounce cup from my old and new Keurigs. Starting from cold, the B70 required one minute to heat the water before it would allow brewing to start, then took 50 more seconds to actually brew the coffee. The K-Supreme started immediately and completed a 12 ounce cup of coffee in one minute and 35 seconds. I should note that a second cup of coffee from the older B70 machine required only one minute since the water had already been heated. So if you are making one cup of coffee the new K-Supreme is quicker, but two cups are completed a bit faster using the older machine. The biggest change in the K-Supreme brewer is the new Multi-Stream technology. Studies have shown that the key to extracting maximum flavor and strength from coffee grounds is a combination of dwell-time (how long the water is in contact with the coffee), temperature (high but not too hot) and turbulence (how thoroughly the water mixes with the coffee). All prior Keurig brewers utilized a single needle to inject water into the K-Cup. The new Multi-Stream system uses five needles to inject water into the K-Cup simultaneously. This increases turbulence and extracts more flavor. In addition to this change, the K-Supreme has a “Strong” option. This seems to add dwell time to the brewing process. So how well does it work? Just great! I compared Starbucks Pike Place coffee prepared on the new K-Supreme to that prepared on my trusty B70 Platinum. The new brewer produced a richer 12 ounce cup of coffee and the strong option did just that – made it stronger. However, I took the process a step further. I made a 6 ounce cup of coffee using a pod, then removed that pod, rotated it 180 degrees and reinserted that same pod and brewed a second 6 ounces into the cup. The result was even better than a single brew into a 12 ounce cup. Rotating the K-Cup added a second drain point on the bottom of the K-Cup and seemed to add more strength to the brewed coffee. The downside is that this nearly doubles the brewing time. My B70 has a temperature control and I have it set at 192 degrees (the maximum). The K-Supreme does not have a temperature control. So I measured the temperature of the coffee produced and it was the same for both machines – 180 degrees! I suspect that either the process of brewing the coffee lowers the water temperature a bit or my older machine needs to be decalcified. In any event, the temperature is fine for producing a great cup of coffee. One other difference between the older Keurig brewer and the new K-Supreme is that the latter is much quieter. It completes the full brewing cycle without all of the hissing, boiling and water-pumping noises of the older machines. This is a nice improvement and might make the process of preparing that first cup of coffee early in the morning a little less stressful! The K-Supreme also has an “Over Ice” option. This lowers the brewing water temperature to the minimum level required to accomplish the process and fixes the volume at 6 ounces. This is perfect for filling a glass which has ice cubes and the lower temperature will not melt all of the ice. Other notes: There are two lights on the top, near the control buttons. One signals when the water level is low and the other advises that descaling is recommended. The latter occurs after 250 cups have been brewed. The descaling process is automatic when you press the 8 ounce and 12 ounce buttons simultaneously for three seconds, then press the “K” brew button. To save energy the unit shuts off five minutes after a brewing cycle. Finally, be careful – never put any of the removable parts (water reservoir, drip tray) into a dishwasher – they will not survive! Hand wash only! There is really only one (minor) negative I can note about this coffee maker. Each time you brew a cup of coffee you have to select the cup size. It does not remain on the last size chosen like my old Keurig. But this is a very small quibble and the fact that it is my only complaint speaks very well about this great device. The new K-Supreme certainly meets the “elegant and neat” criteria chosen by the company’s founders when they chose the name, “Keurig” and this wonderful and evolutionary coffee maker has fully earned a full five stars and my very strong recommendation.

I bought this to update my previous keurig which was bulky and not very attractive. I have a new kitchen and wanted something that blended better with white and had a smaller footprint. This keurig definitely checked those boxes. What I didn’t expect was for it to function better than my previous one. My old keurig was much noisier and took about a minute or so to heat up, unless I timed it right and it was already in ready mode. The K-Supreme is always ready and it’s much quieter. I would’ve given 5 stars but it does create some splatter around the mug like my older model did.

Keuring K-Supreme Single Server Coffee Maker exceed my expectations, first the design is slim that you can place it everywhere with less space. The reservoir it’s dual position and the size is for 66 of water and also includes a water filter and pod filter. This Keuring has a multi stream technology that extract the full flavor and aroma on every k-pod. You can choose between 4 cup sizes: 6, 8, 10 and 12 Oz and also mate it iced or hot, which is great!! The package includes detailed and clear instructions for you to set up your coffee maker. This Keurig not only is very easy to use, it’s convenient and you get the best coffee always!! I got this product for free to test and review purposes from Influenster’s and all my opinions are for my own.

Had to have my Keurig replaced because I did the scaler cleaning. Great experience with Keurig to have it replaced and shipped to me. Only problem is it was shipped in it's retail box and by the time I got it, the box had crushed corners and a big hole in the box which caused a scratch down the side of the Keurig itself. It was just a cosmetic issue because it works just fine. I couldn't go another day without having my Keurig so I didn't complain or send it back.

Just love this new coffee maker. In the past we have always had the very large ones and this is such a nice sleek design. A couple things I really like about this is that you can have the water reservoir in the back or you can have it on the side depending on what your countertop looks like. I also like the brewing circle on the top. My eyes are a little fuzzy in the morning and when I turn it on it’s blinking and I can see it really well. I also like the option for the strong brew, although I have not used that, my husband has, and he said it is definitely stronger. Our other Keurig only had one pierce in the K-cup and this has five. You can definitely tell the difference in the taste of your coffee. That is why I don’t have to use the strong setting. I would definitely recommend this, in fact I bought another one for our daughter.

Keurig, what happened to your attention to detail? This is the 2nd Keurig unit I have tried and it makes a MESS with every brew. I use a regular 12 oz mug and the drip splatters out of the mug onto the countertop and all over the unit. I have had other brands of pod makers that did not do this, (Ninja, and Hamilton Beach). I will be donating this Keurig to Goodwill and going back to Hamilton Beach. Maybe make your cup riser a wee bit higher!

This upgrade to multi-stream technology was well worth the purchase. I feel we are getting a much better, richer, fuller tasting cup of coffee. The added benefit of be able to use the strong button to strengthen the brew is a great feature. It is much easier to change the cup size and to fill the water tank. It is also much quieter. You hardly hear it brewing. Overall, this is an excellent and much appreciated upgrade.

My wife always uses the my K cup with her own coffie. Over time it she noticed the cups were weaker and the stream from the bottom was distorted. Found out the platform where you put your K cup or pods had warped down causing a bad seal on the top of the K cup. This was allowing water to flow over the top of the K cup and not flow through the grounds. With the new one we are going to make sure to open it after a cup is brewed so hopefully the new one will not warp. Keurig was great and replace it after 11 months of use. Keurig may want to look into a better design that will not warp. Thanks...
