Best Keurig Coffee Makers for 2024
Frigidaire 1-cup single serve retro coffee maker: This Frigidaire machine was fast and did what it was supposed to do. It’s no-frills and is the least expensive option on the list at just $24. It feels and looks a little cheaper than the others on this list, but it brews a cup of coffee in under 2 minutes.
Proctor Silex Single Serve Coffee Maker: The Proctor Silex entry on this list is in the same category as the Frigidaire above. It’s a bit slower than that one, but offers a similar bargain price.
Hamilton Beach FlexBrew Single-Serve Coffee Maker: The Hamilton Beach single-serve option is still quite affordable, at just $60, but it adds an extra feature: normal and robust settings. In our testing, the robust setting had a modest but real increase in coffee strength.
Hamilton Beach FlexBrew Double Coffee Maker: This coffee maker is essentially the Hamilton Beach above paired with a drip machine. The single serve portion didn’t perform noticeably differently than its standalone counterpart. It’s a little cheaper than the Keurig K-Duo mentioned above, but the K-Duo feels sturdier and brews coffee a little better.
Cuisinart Coffee Center 2-in-1 Coffee Maker: The Cuisinart 2-in-1 Coffee Center brews both single-serve and pot brews, with both bold and regular options. It has extra features — like the option to hold a pot of coffee at different temperatures — but none that put it on par in my estimation with the K-Duo, which felt sturdier and brewed better in our tests.
Neat K-Supreme: The K-Supreme, like the other Keurig machines on the list, performed slightly better than other brands. It’s a smaller option with a removable reservoir. It has four size options and settings for strong coffee and brewing over ice. If you want a few more options than the K-Mini but don’t want to overwhelm yourself, this is a good choice.
Ninja Dual Brew Pro: This Ninja coffee maker can do it all and was a close contender with the K-Cafe Smart for best customization. It can froth milk, use coffee pots and coffee pods, and even has a separate hot water dispenser, all in a smaller footprint than the K-Cafe Smart. For my tastes and our testing, it didn’t brew quite as well as the K-Cafe Smart, but at $180 it’s relatively cheap.
