A magnet in the base spins an agitator ring in the jug to foam the milk. That's why I preferred the K-Café frother-it's simple! The jug has no electronics in it. Most espresso machines have a steam wand, which tends to get filthy and takes some time to master, and electric frothers (including the one on the more affordable Keurig K-Latte) often have a nonstick coating that oddly seems to make hot milk stick to them, requiring extra scrubbing. Once it automatically stops, you can pour it into your coffee, tell Alexa to play “Heaven Is a Place on Earth,” and kick your feet up. You then tap the Latte, Capp, or Cold button and it will froth your milk to perfection. Just pour your milk of choice into the jug (there are lines for “latte” and “capp” inside) and drop it into its nest, which has a little button that’s activated by weight. The stainless steel frothing jug makes heating and micro-foaming faster and easier than most electric frothers. But it’s a good substitute if your standards aren’t too high-especially if you’re using it to mix. You can also use your own coffee with a reusable filter.Įspresso snobs, no, the 2-ounce Keurig shot doesn’t have crema, and isn’t as potent as a fresh pull from an expensive La Marzocco rig. I’ve tried a few new coffee flavors lately, and the Laughing Man Columbian Roast that came with my unit has a dark, semi-rich taste that I like. (Keurig nerds should know this model has no temperature control, digital clock, or auto-on functionality.) Cups up to 7.2 inches tall can fit, which means it can handle moderately-sized travel mugs. I like that you can just select a cup size while its heating instead of having to wait for it to prepare itself, too. There are also buttons for 6-, 8-, 10-, and 12-ounce cups of coffee, with a special Strong button to concentrate the coffee a bit. If you often use it for 2-ounce shots, like I do, the reservoir may last a week or more before requiring a refill.
Keurig expresso full#
The tank holds 60 ounces of water, about enough for six full cups of coffee. They make the foot-tall Keurig a little wider than it needs to be, at about 15 inches, but they also make it easy to use. The water tank and frother jut off either side of the K-Café, each with a similar half moon look to them. They have large circular curves and fewer details to get lost in, with sleeker metal K-Cup lifting mechanisms and uncluttered controls.
Keurig expresso plus#
The K-Café and K-Mini Plus are refreshingly minimalist, by comparison. They were a little taller or a little fatter, but they all had the same winged-spout, king-cobra design. For years, you could take any Keurig machine, put it in a carnival house of mirrors, and see what all the others looked like. You can tell that this K-Café is a little different just by looking at it, mixing up the same-y design of prior K-machines.
