    Home GroundsHands-on review · 2019

    Still a stylish brewer with useful options like temperature control and a hot water button, but dated and overpriced next to newer Keurigs, so best bought on sale.

    Taste of HomeNo printed score · Buying guide · 2026

    Singled out as the best choice for serving a crowd thanks to its big water tank, fast brewing and hot or iced options.
