Keurig K-Express Single Serve Coffee Maker Strong Brew Option 42oz Reservoir Sleek Design for Holiday Hosting Gifting Black

Years ago I received a secondhand Keurig from my local "everything free" group. It was the original model, a big sucker. Definitely more firepower than I needed but so powerful and dominant I could not resist it. That machine became vital to my ADHD morning routine. No more spilling stuff everywhere, no more folded-over coffee filter and cup full of grounds and water. No more being late because I had to babysit my coffee maker. I could just pop the pod in, press a button, and go. My life was improved. That machine was an absolute workhorse but sadly after constant use it began shutting itself off and not restarting. It was time to move on. I initially purchased a knock-off k-cup machine. It promised that it would make both iced and hot coffee for $20 less. It wove a web of lies that ensnared me. I won't get into what was wrong with it, that is for another review. What I will say is that I returned it promptly and ordered this brand new fancy baby Keurig. This machine, which I will call K-Pod Demon Hunter, heats quickly -- like almost immediately. It brews a perfect cup every time. It makes pleasant noises while it works that let me know it's happy. I am also happy. We are happy together, like the song. The only thing I do not like about this machine is the color. It was on sale because it's a "holiday color" but it is not attractive. It is ugly. It's the color you see in winter coats on sale. Your chain-smoking great aunt who is obsessed with true crime and criticizes your life choices but may leave you some money when she dies has a jacket in this color. It's neither red nor purple nor magenta. It has a touch of brown but it's not rust. Nobody likes this color. Nobody has ever liked this color. It's not a color that will become retro at any point. This color is neither pleasing to the eye nor soothing to the spirit. But I'm not perfect either and K-pod Demon Hunter accepts me as I am. I am writing this review in a different room so it can't hear me and feel hurt. Perhaps over time I will learn to love this color because I love the machine in which it is swathed. Unlikely, but they say that love can work miracles. Reader, I wish you all the best in your coffee journey. I hope that you find love like I did with K-Pod Demon Hunter. Heed my words and do not be tempted by off-brand substitutes and their beautiful lies. They won't understand you. They won't respect you. They won't be there for you and your time of need like K-Pod Demon Hunter is for me. I want you to have what I have. Your happiness is important to me. Read more

I usually use 10 oz cups and I hit the strong button on it, it makes a very good cup of coffee. Limited size cabinet on our motor coach this fits in there perfectly. Coffee comes out hot right from the start. Putting it inside my yeti, the last for an hour of warm coffee. Well worth the value. Water tank is accessible in the rear, easy to remove and fill.

Good quality product, works well and easy to use. My only criticism is that the lid on the water container is clumsey to put back on the unit. Read more

Size is compact, coffee is hot, love that. BUT the light came on for cleaning, stopped working and won't go away after all the tips and tricks. Works after all the cleaning BUT light still on. Never have had to do this with any other keurig. Read more

Neat item! Takes up just a bit of counter space. Wouldn't work if serving a crowd but good for a solo user. Does heat up quickly so you could do several cups in a short time. A bit tricky to insert the water tank so be careful but no problem once you get the hang of it. Came quickly and well packaged. A good buy. Read more

We purchased this Keurig a couple of days ago and it came in very quickly! The Keurig brews the coffee very quick and the taste is delicious. It’s very convenient that it has a 42 ounce Reservoir our previous coffee machine was pour as you go for each coffee so this is very nice to just be able to press whichever size you would like and enjoy. I think the only downside is that the coffee machine is pretty loud compared to other models. The machine itself is beautiful and looks sleek. Also it’s very easy to clean, and doesn’t leak. *** Updating this review: in the suggested to buy with this Keurig is a three month cleaning system that includes the descaling solution, water filters and rinsing pods… In order to be able to use the filters you have to buy a separate water filter to put in to the reservoir. I just think it’s important to know before purchasing the cleaning system. Read more
