Keurig K-Supreme Single Serve Coffee Maker
The Keurig K-Supreme represents the brand’s first foray into MultiStream Technology, which ensures even saturation of coffee grounds inside K-Cup pods. This innovation delivers noticeably enhanced flavor and aroma compared to traditional Keurig brewers. With flexible brew sizes (6, 8, 10, and 12 oz), a robust 66 oz water reservoir that can be positioned on either side, and the ability to brew both hot and iced coffee, the K-Supreme is designed to meet a wide range of user preferences.
The machine excels in ease of use, heating water quickly and allowing for back-to-back brewing without reheating. Despite its powerful features, it retains a compact, kitchen-counter-friendly footprint. However, users should be aware of minor caveats like potential descaling indicator issues that may persist despite thorough cleaning.

NOW I finally get it
Never been a coffee drinker, but I’ve tried many times over the years, getting various coffee makers including the prestigious Mocha Master. Just never clicked for me though. I’d buy a coffee maker, try it out, and then give it away. Instant ones with pods, ones that use grounds. Didn’t matter.But I’m getting tired of seeing health benefits of drinking a moderate amount of coffee, so figured since I don’t DISLIKE it, I may as well go for it. And I still had the last thing I tried, a Nutri Bullet pod one, and just didn’t like it. Figured if I’m going to get serious, get something a bit more serious.This one came up with good reviews and the name brand was recommended to me by a product designer friend in Boston who actually has worked with this company in the past. So I took the chance.Night and day compared to my other coffee attempts. The unit is well built and designed, simple to use, doesn’t feel cheap. The flip up cover for the pod compartment locks solid, never hangs up and doesn’t rattle at all, it’s snug. Button presses work every single time. Never had to hit something a second time.Initially I wanted the water in the back to make it more streamlined, but I find I prefer it on the side for the ease of refilling.I haven’t bothered with the filter yet since we have really good water where I live.I like the option for the stronger brew, and the various sizes. I always just do the biggest size and strong brew. And I like that even doing a slower strong brew, it still finishes faster than the others I had when doing normal.I also appreciate that it STOPS DRIPPING when it finishes brewing. Some I’d have would drip randomly for a few minutes after I removed the cup.I’ve only tried a few different brand pods in here, and all work well. I like that this has the multiple water feed since I see they’re changing some things up so at least I’ll be more compatible moving forward with newer pods.For the price, this was a gamechanger for me. I’m now drinking coffee each day – at least most of them, since it’s still a new thing for me so not part of my auto pilot routine…

5 Stars – Fast, Quiet, and Convenient
I’ve had my old Keurig for years and always assumed it was normal to wait 3 minutes for it to heat up. I expected the same with this new one, but was genuinely surprised, there’s virtually no wait time! I just turn it on, pop in a pod, select my cup size, hit start, and it brews instantly. It’s also noticeably quieter than my previous model, which had stopped descaling properly. I really appreciate the option to move the water reservoir from the side to the back, it gives more flexibility depending on your counter space. Overall, a huge upgrade in both speed and convenience. Highly recommend!

A solid Keurig product.
Why did you pick this product vs others?:I bought this brewer to replace an older Keurig brewer that was destroyed. This one was picked for its large water reservoir and its lower price point in the Keurig line. It has worked well in daily use with no issues for 5 months. The newer multi-hole puncture system does seem to be an improvement over the previous one hole system. The only fault I have found is a minor one. The lights behind the buttons seemed to be misprogrammed. The “strong” and “over ice” buttons only illuminate briefly after closing the lid on a fresh K-cup so you had better remember what they do and which is which as you select the brew, not always easy before that first cup in the morning.

Smaller foot print but still a great cup of coffee.
Bought as a replacement for the larger unit bought nearly 15 years ago. The footprint is smaller, it’s much quieter when brewing, and the new 5 pin water feed into the k-cup does seem to enhance the flavor of the coffee. I like having the choice of the water tank being either to the rear or mounted to the left side of the housing.For the price, this purchase was a good deal. If I get 25 years of service from the unit, it will meet my expectations. Can you buy a cheaper product to brew k-cup coffee. Should you? I recommend this unit for product design, reputation of the brand and the end result. A well brewed tasty coffee if morning “joe”. Enjoy!

Compact size, easy to use.
This was a purchase to replace my first Keurig I had for many years. After having this new replacement for several months, I am happy with my purchase. The compact size is beneficial for limited counter space. I keep a container of water next to it that matches the reservoir on the machine. This way there is no concern of damaging the rubber O-ring on the base of the reservoir. I only remove the reservoir for occasional cleaning. Coffee strength and volume variations are met with a push of a button. The only downfall, but it is of no issue of performance, is the noise that is made as the coffee drips. Though not loud, it sounds as if someone had some food that was not very settling on one’s stomach! Great product overall.

Best Cup of Coffee
I upgraded my previous Keurig coffee maker that I bought in 2013. It was worth the upgrade.I like how easy this machine is to use.Easy setup: Right out of the box there was little that needed to be done. Just remove factory tape, plug it in and run a single water only cycle and good to go.Taste: I use a quality coffee. I played with the “strong” button and that was one of the best cups of coffee I’ve had.Speed: Hot water on demand. This machine heats the water right before it hits the pod. There is no internal reservoir the water is first pumped into to heat first. This means the speed of use is much faster. My previous unit had this and it took a bit longer to get that first cup. Because there is no internal reservoir there is less places for scaling to take place. Using filtered water also reduces this buildup.Extraction: This unit is cooler than some other units and extracts at 192 with a final cup temp of about 165. This is less than coffee enthusiasts recommend. I taste no difference as my coffee still had a rich and bold flavor. For someone who enjoys coffee without all the fine tuning this works great.Ascetically pleasing: I love how small this unit is and how it looks on the counter. It doesn’t have a LCD readout with the time or a way to auto set for an automatic cup. The hot water on demand eliminates this need. Just turn it on and you have a cup in maybe a minute. Also, without an LCD display, less to break.Clean up: The area that the pod is inserted in is not concave as my previous unit was. It can be easily wiped clean. My previous unit could get a buildup of crud around the pod area. That can’t happen with this unit.Descaling setting: While I’ve not used it yet, I like that it has a descaling setting when I do clean out my machine. My previous didn’t have this and it took longer to run cycles.Cons: Factory taste!! My first two cups of coffee tasted like crap. I assumed this was because it was still getting the factory taste out of the unit. On the 3rd attempt I used the “strong” button and wow I tasted a difference. I’m also using zero water for my coffee.Overall if you want a “no thrills” machine that makes coffee fast and very well then I recommend this product.

Good product
I recently upgraded to the Keurig K-Supreme, and I couldn’t be happier. The MultiStream Technology makes a noticeable difference — the coffee tastes richer and more flavorful, compared to older Keurig machines.It heats up quickly, and I love having multiple cup sizes and the strong brew option, which gives my morning cup that extra kick. It’s also surprisingly quiet and compact, so it fits well on my kitchen counter without taking up too much space.The removable water reservoir makes refilling easy, and it holds enough water for several cups without needing to constantly refill. Whether you’re brewing a quick cup before work or enjoying a quiet weekend coffee, this machine delivers consistent quality.If you’re a K-Cup user looking for a sleek, reliable, and improved brewing experience, the K-Supreme is definitely worth it.

The new multi-stream makes a good smooth cup
Keurig® K-Supreme Single-Serve K-Cup Pod Coffee Maker, MultiStream Technology, GrayThe coffee maker comes packaged in a retail box, exactly as you’d see on the shelf in the store. There are photos on the outside and basic specifications listed. Opening the box, right on top. You have what appears to be an instruction booklet, a filter assembly, and a coffee filter. The coffee maker is cushioned well using recyclable pulp-style cardboard packing. The coffee maker itself is further. Cushioned by a large foam bag. The removable pieces of the coffee maker are taped with that removable appliance tape we’re all familiar with. One feature of the coffee maker that I hadn’t realized from the pictures in the ad, the water reservoir has a large handle molded into it, to make it easier to pick up and move when you’re refilling it. The lid over the pod section is very different from their earlier machines, it has five prongs that protrude out from the upper gasket, what looks like an oversized piercing needle, and four locator/ spacer prongs. The pod holder does pop out for cleaning or using a bulk coffee adapter, but it is pretty stiff to remove. It has a locator notch and three little snaps around the circumference to lock it in place.When setting up the coffee maker, after washing the reservoir, you’ll have to soak the carbon filter assembly before putting it into the filter holder. The filter holder is a little different from what I’ve seen in the past, this one is completely clear plastic and has a snap arrangement at the bottom for the filter. You have to press both sides at once to get the filter holder out, which isn’t evident at first. If you look closely at the two sides you’ll see where you are supposed to press. There is a paper insert in the same plastic bag that holds the filter assembly, giving you step-by-step instructions and some helpful pictures.Looking at the packet with the instruction booklet, they note in several places that this is a new design that can use standard pods, but if you wish to use bulk coffee, you’ll need a new adapter as the bulk coffee K-cup adapter is different from the old style. They have an explicit warning stating that you must use the new style adapter with the machine, and that the older style is not compatible.After cleaning and soaking the carbon pod for the water filtering, you’ll have to make certain that you rinse it thoroughly, as there is indeed some charcoal dust that will come out of the filter. After you have put it into the new style holder, the holder has a snap-in locking mount at the bottom of the water tank. It takes a little bit of fiddling about, but once you have it in the right position it will click and snap into place. The new instructions for this machine recommend what they call a cleansing brew before trying to make coffee in it. When you first plug it in, all four cup sizes will blink. They recommend choosing the 8 oz button and then pressing the brew to start a cleansing brew to clean the machine. They note that you only have to do this one time, but I would recommend doing this after making hot chocolate or similar powdered non-coffee brews, as if the chocolate dries in the needles it can clog things up. Up.Also included in the instruction pack is a notation that you can save 50% off of K-cups from Keurig.com if you register your new coffee maker, and they also include printed grocery coupons for money off of pods and the descaling liquid they recommend.Making coffee with this machine is a similar procedure to the ones they’ve had in the past. The difference is what the machine does to the pod. Those five little protrusions under the lid all poke into the top of the pod, so you’re used. Pod has a pattern of holes on the top in it like a five on a die. The bottom of the pod still has one hole, like we’ve seen in the past. I can only presume that those five holes are all pushing steam and hot water into the pod to process the coffee better. Personally, I can’t see where it changes the taste of the coffee much, it tastes like it always does. Hot, smooth, and full.Being naturally curious, I had to pick open the cover on the used pod. To me, it seems like the used pods’ grounds are dryer than some of the old ones. I think this is where the five holes in the top come in. The machine has forced the water (As steam?) through the pod harder and faster to thoroughly brew the coffee.

Best of Class for Keurig
I’ve been using the Keurig K-Supreme for a few weeks now, and it’s a solid performer—just without the wow factor.The MultiStream Technology seems to brew your coffee more evenly, and I appreciate having four brew sizes to choose from. The 66 oz removable reservoir is a handy feature that makes refilling less frequent, especially with its dual-position design. The machine is sleek and easy to use, though it does take a bit of time to heat up compared to some faster models.The coffee it produces is dependable, but I wouldn’t call it barista-grade. Overall, it’s a convenient and reliable option for everyday use—especially for Keurig fans—but don’t expect café-quality craft coffee.

Reliable
After many years, this is my third Keurig purchase (one is my husband’s). I appreciate that it is so dependable and doesn’t dissappoint your coffee mornings. Depending on the K-cup coffee pod you use, you can predict the outcome. I’m not a coffee snob and I’m OK with the pods (I do have my favorites). I like the convenience of not having to fuss with my daily cup of coffee routine. The maintenance of the Keuring is minimal: frequent washes of the water container and descaling according to your daily coffee consumption. Observation: a k-cup cup of coffee may not be to everyone’s taste.
