Keurig K-Classic Overview

The Keurig K40, K45, K50, and K55 are all the same basic brewer and collectively are one of the most popular models Keurig has ever produced.

When someone thinks of Keurig brewers, they're thinking of these models.

The K-Classic is Keurig's updated take on their flagship machine.

It doesn't have Brew Strength or Temp Control functionality and the 48 oz water reservoir isn't the largest you'll find, but not everyone needs those extras.

If you want the typical, hassle-free Keurig experience you've grown to love, stick with the K-Classic.

Pros

Includes Keurig's upgraded system for richer coffee and quieter brewing
No pod-scanning technology so brews both licensed and unlicensed K-Cup pods
Easiest, most-basic in-production Keurig brewer (if that's what you're looking for)

Cons

Mediocre 48 oz water reservoir
Max 10 oz brew size (most new Keurigs brew 12 oz)
Doesn't have Brew Strength or Temp Control settings
Doesn't come with a water filter kit

Is the Keurig K-Classic for you?

Are Keurig K-Classic for you?

The Keurig K-Classic the new-and-improved version of the iconic K45/K55 and is great if you're looking for an easy way to enjoy Keurig's convenience.

If you're looking for something more feature-rich, here are some alternatives:

K-Slim: 46 oz reservoir in a slim, 4.8" wide model with a 12 oz brew size but without Strength or Temp Control
K-Select: 52 oz reservoir with a 12 oz brew size and Strength Control
K-Elite: 75 oz reservoir with 5 brew sizes from 4-12 oz and both Strength and Temp Control
K-Duo: 60 oz reservoir with ability to brew 6-12 oz and full 60 oz carafes with Strength Control on the K-Duo Plus
K-Cafe: 60 oz reservoir with ability to brew 6-12 oz and lattes/cappuccinos with an integrated frothing system

If the K-Classic is more brewer than you need, you can also go more smaller with either the K-Compact (smallest brewer with a removable reservoir) or the K-Mini for truly space-efficient brewing.

More Keurig Reviews From The Coffee Maven

Keurig K15

Overall Rating: 80

One of Keurig's original "Mini" K-Cup models, the K15 has a max 10 oz brew size with its "fill before each use" reservoir. Now discontinued, the K15 has been replaced by the slimmer K-Mini, which brews up to 12 oz K-Cups.

Keurig K155

Overall Rating: 83

A sleek, UL Commercial listed brewer with a 90 oz reservoir and color touch LCD display, the K155 is designed for office use but is nearly identical to the customer-minded K150 (or K150P for direct water line compatibility).

Keurig K560

Overall Rating: 88

The crown jewel of the Keurig 2.0 pod-scanning system, feature-rich K500 series brewers offer 11 brew sizes (up to 30 oz) and massive 80 oz reservoir. Now discontinued, we recommend the Keurig K-Duo Plus instead.

About The Coffee Maven

Bryan De Luca

I'm Bryan but most people know me as The Coffee Maven. I grew up outside Boston, Massachusetts and received my Bachelor's degree in Biochemistry from Providence College. My first introduction to coffee was during my college days, when I used it as a source of caffeine to fuel late-night study sessions, but soon I became obsessed with the chemistry of coffee. How did changes to water temperature or contact time affect its taste? Why do beans from Africa taste fruity while beans from Indonesia taste spicy? I launched The Coffee Maven in February 2017 to explore these questions and help others brew their perfect cup. Welcome to my site, and thanks for reading!
