[@timfrayne8946]

This is exactly the review I was looking for. Thank you. After purchasing this and setting it up, I was unsure what would happen if I ran a K-cup through this machine if there were old coffee grounds in the filter basket I was unaware of. By flipping the unit over (which I have not done) you show how the carafe and K-cup functions both have their own dedicated plumbing route.

[@asisoncoffee]

Great review, our household is split between brewing a pot of coffee and doing single K-Cup brew. This is definitely something to consider when purchasing our next coffee maker. Thanks for this!

[@JustADad]

Your Welcome, Have a great weekend!!

[@cweefy]

Just bought this based on your video. First impressions after brewing a single 12 ounce cup are, messy and slow. Coffee splashes out of the cup on the counter, probably because it drips instead of flowing, and it takes longer to brew. I'll give it a few days. $ 212.00 total cost at Bed Bath and Beyond.

[@mtrotter325]

Are you noticing the splashing only for Strong brew or regular setting also?

[@cweefy]

@mtrotter325 we only use regular strength. It's just a long drop into a coffee cup so it splashes. Machine has been pretty good so far. I'm thinking about trying something to set the cup on while doing a single brew.

[@bruceg3414]

Thank you for your high quality and full assessment reviews. I found your reviews when I began looking for a coffee maker that made both a pot of coffee and a K-Cup. I tend to be a deliberate and selective shopper and prefer to become informed on "plusses and minuses" before making a purchase. Your reviews best helped me arrive at a purchase decision. Once I made my decision and when the coffee maker arrived, I found your review helpful to re-watch, as I set up and used the Keurig K-Duo for the first time. Thank you. I hope I'll find "Just A Dad" reviews when I'm making other product decisions. Don't change a thing!

[@JustADad]

Thanks so much for your support and nice words!! they are so nice and encouraging

[@bruceg3414]

@@JustADad Thanks for your reply! For your consideration: I suggest you do evaluations on "kitchen based" water purifiers. Water quality relates to coffee quality, and I found "qualitative" product reviews and features comparisons like yours, lacking on water filters. I ended up purchasing a Waterdrop G3P600 RO System, basically from comparing features as described by various manufacturers in their ads. While I'm happy with it, I decided without understanding if a different product may have provided a better feature mix for my needs and "investment". There are many aspects to a water filter product that would make your review style helpful to consumers, from GPM, to wasted water ratio, to RO or not, to placement options (under sink vs counter top) to filter replacement cost and ease of replacing. I think the public would respond favorably to "Just A Dad" reviews of water filter product options in this growing market. The link from water purifiers to your coffee maker reviews (and vice versa) would be a natural. Best, Bruce

[@waggypup99]

I was on the fence with this brewer, but now I am sold. I like the front coffee loader. My current coffee maker sits under a cabinet and I have to pull it out to load the coffee and water on top. It’s a pain. The only thing I didn’t like is there is no heat warmer and is pricey. Excellent and thorough review.

[@JustADad]

Yeah I thought the same thing about the warmer pad but that Stainless steel carafe really keeps your coffee warm for over 2 hours. This is a great machine, just keep up on the descale and it should last a long time. Check out my video on Stainless steel carafe for the coffee maker. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGTNdoWribyIrq8

[@pamelajoyhunter5461]

I love your videos. At first I wasn’t going with a duo. I was going to buy the new smart Keurig. But after watching videos I decided this particular duo was a smart buy. And now after watching this video. I have the idea of having an extra carafe. That way I can take the carafe and have coffee on my porch. And if I have guest they can make their pot how they like and carry the pot to their room if they liked. Especially after hearing how well this carafe retains the heat. I just yesterday bought two of these duo Keurigs. One for me and one for my niece for Christmas. I can’t wait. I’m expecting my new home and don’t plan on opening my duo Keurig till I’m in my new home. I’m excited.

[@JustADad]

Awesome!!! that sounds really good. Thanks for sharing you coffee story/ Journey!!!! Keep me updated

[@ralphfontcuberta130]

Excellent video; have been wanting to go back to the option for K-cup/single-brew as well as full pot in the morning. My kitchen counter space is limited and my cabinets are low, so I have a really really small space available for the brewer, and this checks all those boxes. There are a few other dual- (or triple-) brew options but they all have a big footprint. Thanks again for posting it; I was kind of on the fence (mostly b'c of the cost) but I think this is the right option for us, both for space and versatility.

@@JustADad So, Ive had this now for about a week. Ive maybe used it less than 10 times. This morning I went to brew a Kcup and it wouldn’t brew. It kept giving me the ADD WATER prompt eeven though the water was full to the max line. So I did all the usual I could think of. Turned it off and on, unplugged it from the walll. I came on YT trying to find a solution and I couldn’t. So, I decided cto empty the water out a bit and it worked. I just found it odd that it wouldn’t go with the water being at the max line, nor would it give me the prompts on the buttons. So I wanted to know if you’ve ever experienced this and / or is this a common issue? Thanks.

I really appreciate all your videos. I'm also looking at the Kitchenaid Burr Grinder, thanks to you. After reading all the comments, I still have these questions for this K-Duo Plus: 1. Brew head: is this a rain/shower/multi stream, or a single stream? If you had the basket off when it was upside down for reservoir change, I could have seen it 😁 2. Have you noticed a taste difference in other models that use multi stream? 3. Brew temp? (I suppose you can use your thermometer as the coffee comes out for kcup dispenser. I know you said the temp is about 170° after brew) 4. Carafe cleaning: how do you clean the carafe besides rinsing? 7. Is the kcup pod holder removable to insert the custom kpod for your own grinds? 8. Does it come with the custom grind kpod?

[@nando415]

This is a great coffee maker. My parents got it at Costco about 2 years ago. The only issue I have sometimes is with brewing a 6 cup or a reusable k-cup. It seems to come out weak for me. Besides that it’s great and I love the stainless steel carafe. It keeps coffee hot up to an hour, maybe more.

[@JustADad]

Yeah I think some k cups are just made that way, it happens to me too sometimes.

Great information. So much more instructive than info that came with it. Their ‘Instructions didn’t include info on filter or ability to use paper filters. Thanks. When you checked the basket, it still had water (pot brewing) did it drain finally? What happens to stop it from completely emptying? That happened with my first pot and was a pain to clean/empty.

[@JustADad]

Thanks for watching and your kind words. Yes it will finally drain all the water out of the filter basket, it takes about 5 extra minutes.

[@kaydenealmquist1347]

@@JustADad now I just have to teach my husband how to use the new coffee maker. Teaching an old dog new trucks-it can be done.

[@JanetOlszewski]

I have had this coffee maker for about 2 years. Recently, it seems that I can't get it to brew a full 10 or 12 cups in the carafe. I have cleaned it, descaled it, changed filters and done trouble shooting with Keurig to no avail. it is leaving 14 oz of water in the reservoir when it completes brewing, and the carafe is nowhere near full. How much coffee should I be getting with a 12 cup brew?

[@Timpala44]

Another reviewer mentioned this as well. Have you ever measured the actual ounces brewed? If it’s less than 48 ounces, I need to look at a different machine.

[@veryfungamesawesome]

I ended up choosing the K Duo itself because it was cheaper but after watching this video I think this one would be worth the money. As much as I love the K Duo I would probably get this one too. This one is smaller and I have limited counter space.

[@JustADad]

Yeah I love that this one does not take up alot of room and I love the water tank handle.

[@veryfungamesawesome]

@@JustADad I ended up getting one, well worth the money. I made coffee in the pot the last night and it was still 120 degrees this morning, around 12 hours after brewing it was still warm. Without the stainless steel it would start to get cold not long after the heating plate shuts off. Your video helped me make the decision to choose this one. I’ll still use the K Duo but not as much. This stainless steel carafe will be great for power outages.

[@JustADad]

Nice, comprehensive review. I'll bet you're an engineer ;) Just one comment, it appears your 12-cup strong brew only took 12 minutes, not 15 as you state at 31:30. You started with 12:04 on the clock and ended with 12:16 showing.

[@sarahcunningham8]

So what coffee maker do you use out of all these or which one is your favorite?

[@JustADad]

Great Question. Technivorm Moccamaster Coffee Maker KBG when I make a pot of coffee and a K Supreme plus smart when I make a k cup. I use each one about 1/2 the time each. The moccamaster is $300 I am not sure it is worth so much extra money, I have it because I bought it to do a review, the K Duo plus would be very high on my list of coffee makers that I like.

[@jasmineyung]

Great detailed video! Just wondering if you can make your own ground filtered coffee with a cup or travel mug instead of using the jug? Thanks :)

[@JustADad]

Not really, the coffee maker side requires the coffee pot because the top of the stainless steel coffee pot lid pushes up on the bottom of the filter basket to let the coffee flow out of the coffee basket. Its called pause brewing, There is a plunger that closes off at the bottom of the coffee filter basket to stop the flow of coffee.

Here's an update. The brewer turned out to be junk. While making single cups it would leak from the bottom of the basket drawer. Wouldn't make desired amount and the basket would fill with water after a few single brews. Called keurig and they sent me a new one. This new one is even worse. The basket fills with water like the first one, but this one actually powers off While brewing singles only dispensing an ounce or two of coffee. Just got off the phone with them again after 5 tries to get about 6 ounces. We've only used k-cups as i thought maybe the reusable was the problem. They're sending another one in a few days.
