The Keurig K-Express Essentials Version
In this article, I will discuss the Keurig K Express. This will be the first one I’ve had in a long time. As I attempt to stay up with Keurigs in 2020, I observe that the 2.0 model is being displaced in favour of simplicity, sleekness, and the elimination of “proprietary pods.”
Although this model has only been out for a year or so, I’m pleased to report that it appears to be well-liked and well-received. As of this writing, it states that there are more than 8,000. Is this our honeymoon period? Let’s watch. But for now, I’ll share with you all that this small gift taught me.
Features
When seen from the front, the coffee maker looks pretty thin. The “strong brew” setting is great if you like a little extra.
Measures
At 12.6 inches tall, it’s pretty small (17.2 inches when fully opened).
5 inches across and 12 inches deep.
If you take the drip tray off, you can put a cup up to seven inches high under it. The length of the power cord is 27.5 inches.
As part of:
There might be a water filter kit included as well. A one-year guarantee and easy-to-follow instructions are included, of course.
A set-aside
One of its tanks can hold 42 ounces of water. A good medium-sized one that could last all day if needed. That is enough for daily use of two to four cups. You can see the water tank best from the back and sides.
Bottle for Drip
This makes it easy to put in a mug or to-go cup because the drip tray can slide out.
Keys and controls
Icons are in the upper right corner. It has an on/off button, three different brew sizes, and a strong brew choice. You can get a beer in three different sizes: 8, 10, and 12. The words “Add water” and “Descale” are two examples of blue lights.
The Most Important Kind
The Essentials version was most likely the one that resembled the one you saw but had different colours. I was drawn to this model in Walmart. It comes in two colours, as you can see: a gorgeous vintage red and a pretty blue. Upon closer inspection, I discovered that it is the “Essentials” edition. Its form is rather more linear, as shown in the image below. I like it better, to be honest.
When I open and close the brew chamber, it feels powerful. As you can see, it appears matte and lacks any metal or shiny components. The soft buttons on the front are situated there.
The following image shows the main differences between the two:
Reviews and ratings from customers of the Keurig K-Express
Very positive, in my opinion. It was very unusual for a brewery that had only been open for a year, and the ranking seemed pretty good all around. Every good review I read said it was “great size,” and it was. It worked out to be the right size for camping, off-roading, dorm rooms, offices, and kitchenettes. Almost all of the people who answered agreed that the temperature was right, which isn’t always a good way to compare different brewer types.
Compared to “regular,” most people who used the “strong brew” choice liked and preferred the taste. For those of you who drink tea (I know that’s important)
People didn’t like the comments about the missing water filter kit. This was clearly an error, but it wasn’t enough to take away performance points. I think the biggest problem is the number of complaints about how the refillable K-cups they were using didn’t work with other products. It was hard to tell if this was a big deal-breaker because people didn’t say what brand they used, but I did decide that using the proprietary name (My K-Cup) was important to ensure success.
Thoughts on the “weirdly placed” buttons? I agree—the corner is an odd spot for those. It’s unclear to me whether this was done to minimize the design or if there was a mistake in the method used.
Benefits
- Right amounts
- Little
- has a strong situation for brewing
- Accepts tumblers
Troublesome issues
- Since there are so many good reviews, is it too early to say?
- Some people thought that some refilling K-cups did not work well.
One of the “Essentials” is what you need to buy if you want a shade other than black. Right now, only Walmart has these.
Spending
I think it’s fair that it’s less than $100 right now. when you look at how big it is and what it can do.
In the end
Although I like it, I’d rather have the Essentials one since it’s red. It’s a great choice for camping or living in a hotel. It also comes with a small kitchen or kitchenette.
