This model is a great choice if you're looking for one-serve machines that make tea or coffee to your preferences. It's simple to use and offers four different options for brewing. It can be used with single-pack coffee or ground tea bags and coffee.

This can also be used for pods that can be reused. This is a great option for those concerned about the plastic waste that comes from disposable K-cups.

This Keurig makes a great option for those who love coffee but do not have enough space to buy larger brewing equipment.

It also has an "strong" option that boosts the strength of the coffee to match your preference.

The needles used to brew can be cleaned and removed using a paper clip which is a helpful feature when your machine is getting blocked.

The machine can be expensive because it can only work with K-Cup pods. It is not able to accept third-party pods which appeared on the market in 2012 after the Keurig 2.0 Patent expired.
