Does Keurig K-Café & K-Latté Make Real Espresso?

I wanted to briefly explain the difference between real espresso and the "espresso shots" made by the K-Café and the K-Latté. Although they are similar to espresso they are in actuality small portioned slow brewed coffee.
They do taste very similar to espresso when mixed into frothed milk but they are not a perfect replacement for a home espresso machine.

BTW, I personally own every modern Keurig sold in stores and I help customers understand the differences between them all to the best of my ability. You can see the current list of Keurig brewers that I recommend to people on this page: www.topoffmycoffee.com/best-k...

Nice video, fun and informative, looking forward to the Keurig K-Cafe Coffee Maker, Single Serve K-Cup Pod Coffee, Latte and Cappuccino Maker. As always well done

[@anthonysifuentes9769]

Good video man! Very helpful

Me and my family have the k elite and use Green mountain breakfast blend and Folgers 1850 pioneer blend and I love it, I use the 10oz option, we used to have a keurig 2.0 but we started having a lot of grounds over and over with different boxes of coffee. Keep up the good work man I love the videos

[@TopOffMyCoffee]

Thanks for the comments Jake; this has been a fun project for me and it's been pretty satisfying to hear that so many people have found these videos worthwhile. I've been meaning on trying the Folgers 1850 stuff; haven't yet though. I'll make sure to give it a try next time I'm at the store.

@@TopOffMyCoffee ok we use the 1850 pioneer blend

[@unlostmaniac8735]

great video, calm informative dude. good stuff

I was curious whether it really had higher pressure because they do have espresso pods. I love espresso, but I really don't want to do the grinding, measuring, etc every time I want some

[@StephenThomas-lt6nv]

I got one of the K-Latte for Christmas and noticed the same thing too. I actually run two 2-ounce brews through the same k-cup and it makes the best 4-ounces of coffee I've ever gotten from a home brew machine.

[@gyssellarosales7897]

Do you make iced coffee with it as well ?

[@smiles8851]

Thank you so much for your very informative coffee info! Your videos are great! I’m thinking buying a Keirig k-kafe machine. Any feedback. We like the single serve machines. Works well for our household. But we also love our cappuccinos! 😊 Any feedback or recommendations would be much appreciated! 🙏😊 Didn’t see a K-cafe review in your channel.

I look forward to your video on the K Cafe. I am curious on your thoughts on the K Supreme Plus vs K Cafe. That is the two brewers I am considering.

[@Olivia-bt9hs]

I love the K Cafe. I was debating on the K mini plus or K Cafe and went with the K Cafe. I've made a latte everyday. Works well with the My K Cup reusable filter because you can add more ground coffee (get a strong one) and it makes a super strong shot for your latte.

[@tomcarter3586]

I would also be curious about your thoughts on nespresso vs keurig. Thanks

[@chrisburgess6964]

My opinion if you want a cap get a Nespresso Machiato etc I have the k1500 and coffee's are real good

[@nabibutterfly5385]

Can't even find this particular model in any of the Walmart's in my area or online.

[@victoriaorozco1432]

Can you put espresso in it?

[@gnic76]

How is the coffee if you use the shot setting a couple times, with the same k-cup pod?

[@branw3937]

QTNA!!!

[@TopOffMyCoffee]

Good question; I'll try that today and get back to you. I suspect it will taste pretty good but I'm not sure how many times you could use it before it starts running out of the good stuff.

[@wokndedfan413]

Alright Bro, I’m going to try it with my Keurig from Costco with Starbucks Pike Place Roast.

[@thefront5871]

So if it's not expresso, then what is it??

[@_w_w_]

Basically, Keurig build a terrible machine for years and years, and they finally realize they need a mode that brews slowly to get better extraction. I will differ that Nespresso pods produce bar better shots and coffees for the small amount of coffee used in those pods. K-cup use more but do a poor extraction, plus k-cups don't recycle well...

[@phm155]

You can make espresso in a Keurig

[@danbaker1539]

Fail. Why make a 10 minute video about this K Latte machine and not show or discuss latte?

[@mikecarter5560]

you were all over the board instead of a good review on the one machine
