Keurig K-Supreme Plus Coffee Maker Review: A Game-Changer or Just Another Coffee Maker?

Using the Keurig K-Supreme Plus Coffee Maker for a month has been like having a barista on my counter—minus the awkward small talk. Honestly, it’s been an interesting journey of discovery, with its MultiStream Technology and customizable settings. But, as with every product, this one comes with its quirks.

My Morning Coffee Ritual Elevated

The first time I brewed coffee with the Keurig K-Supreme Plus, I was blown away. Those five water needles in the MultiStream Technology do make a difference. It’s like they’re whispering sweet nothings to every ground in the pod, ensuring a flavorful cup. I even tested it side by side with an older Keurig model I borrowed from a friend (don’t worry, I gave it back). The taste difference was noticeable—richer and smoother.

But here’s the catch: this coffee maker has no internal hot water tank like the previous versions. While it heats water quickly, you’ll need to be patient for that first cup. If your mornings are like mine—chaotic and caffeine-dependent—you might find this a bit annoying.

Customization Galore

One of my favorite features has to be the programmable settings. With three presets, I saved my go-to coffee preferences: strong and hot for workdays, mild for evenings, and a middle-ground option when guests came over. My partner loves iced coffee, and the Over Ice feature is a game-changer for her. She swears it tastes better than her old Starbucks runs.

However, adjusting the brew strength and temperature takes a bit of practice. The interface is user-friendly, but it’s not something you’ll master in one go. My dad tried using it once and accidentally brewed cold coffee—he was not amused.

Design and Build: Sleek Yet Compact

The modern stainless steel finish is gorgeous, and it easily blends with my kitchen decor. Its compact size frees up counter space, yet it doesn’t compromise functionality. But, and this is a big but, the mug platform is small. My oversized mugs wobble precariously, making me nervous every time I brew.

Also, the 78 oz removable reservoir is a lifesaver. It’s easy to fill and lasts quite a while before needing a refill. However, I noticed that the lid feels a bit flimsy. A sturdier design here would have been appreciated.

A Quick Comparison to Competitors

If you’re considering brands like Nespresso or Breville, here’s what you should know. The Keurig K-Supreme Plus excels in versatility, offering brew size options from 4 to 12 oz, and works with various K-cup pods and a reusable filter. However, Nespresso machines often provide higher-quality espresso, while Breville models are more durable. If you’re into drip coffee with customization, Keurig wins hands down. But, espresso lovers might want to look elsewhere.

Is It Worth the Investment?

When compared to competitors, the Keurig K-Supreme Plus is reasonably priced considering the features. The energy-saving mode and lack of a clock add to its efficiency. While it doesn’t have a timer, the quick heat-up compensates for this. However, if you’re someone who uses a machine sparingly, it might feel like overkill.
