If you are like me and appreciate a no-fuss coffee brewing experience, then you might like the convenience, simplicity, and speed of the Keurig K-Express Single Serve Coffee Maker, which is on sale for $62.99 (down from its original $89.99) on Amazon right now.
The K-Express has a pretty straightforward interface and looks easy to use. Pop in a K-Cup pod, choose from three sizes—8, 10, or 12 ounces—and hit start. In a minute or two, the coffee is ready. One reviewer claimed it brews an eight-ounce cup in under a minute—which sounds lovely for those groggy mornings when waiting feels like an eternity. Also, the machine is “brew your own ground coffee” compatible, if you prefer using reusable K-Cup pods. And, if you need an extra boost in the morning to take on the day, the K-Express’ “strong brew” feature makes the coffee extra rich and bold.
Of course, no product is perfect. This coffee maker has a 42-ounce water reservoir, which is smaller than some of the others out there—so you might need to refill it more often, especially if you drink multiple cups a day. It’s a minor inconvenience but still manageable overall. Also, its mostly plastic build might not feel as premium as higher-end machines, but for the price, it makes sense.
When compared against other models like the Keurig K-Elite or the Nespresso Vertuo, the K-Express holds its own pretty well. The K-Elite has a larger water reservoir and some fancy features like iced coffee settings, but it comes with a higher price tag. The K-Express, while more basic, provides all the essential features at a fraction of the cost. The Nespresso Vertuo, known for its espresso-like brews, uses pods that can be pricier and harder to find compared to the widely available K-Cups used in K-Express.
