Keurig K-Café Barista Bar Review | Can It Make Great Espresso?

[@Sarah-flowers]

Thank you for this very efficient review. I've gotten so tired of paying almost 6 dollars for an iced carmel macchiato at dunkin that's made well maybe half the time. I don't have the money to drop on an espresso machine so I'm trying to find the best alternative.

[@katerinafaithdiaz]

Girl, I feel ya! It's crazy how much they charge for drinks! 😩 This Keurig would be a great first step OR even a Moka Pot or Aeropress would be super affordable options for great espresso at home so you can make your own caramel macchiatos ;) Thank you so much for watching!!

[@Sarah-flowers]

@katerinafaithdiaz You are so helpful! After looking into your suggestions I think the moka pot is exactly what I'm looking for! I appreciate you!

[@katerinafaithdiaz]

@@Sarah-flowers Oh YAY Sarah! That is so great to hear! I'm always happy to help any way I can, and I'm excited for all the amazing drinks you'll make with a moka pot!! 🥳

[@RTengo_drives]

Thank you! I needed this…

[@katerinafaithdiaz]

I'm so glad to hear that!! Thank you so much for watching :)

[@lydiadelay5960]

I really glad you explain the difference from express coffee and express Keurig coffee. Since I would think they isn’t a difference . And I glad you compare them too. It’s good to know. It is also good to know to not buy pike place pod.

[@katerinafaithdiaz]

thank you so much for watching Lydia! It was a fun experiment to see just how different it really is :)

I just saw another review on this and it was a good review so yeah I definitely buying this when I get my own house.

[@katerinafaithdiaz]

EEEEEEP how exciting Lydia!!!!!

[@lydiadelay5960]

@ the reason why I say when I get my own house. Is because I live with my mom now and we already have a Keurig.

@@lydiadelay5960 oh I gotcha! That makes sense! Well, I hope when you do get your own home, you'll be able to upgrade your keurig and make all the drinks your heart desires!! :)

[@patchesbubs9269]

I ALMOST bought an espresso maker but decided on the Keurig K Cafe Smart Coffee Maker because of the different strengths & levels of heat etc - hope I didn’t make a mistake

[@katerinafaithdiaz]

Everyone is different and we all have our own preferences for what we're wanting in a machine!! I hope you love yours and are happy with the decision :)

[@trooper190]

I did the same.

[@ls7childs]

Thank you for such a good explanation. I like the size for travel in a camper and was wondering if it would work for a descent simple latte, coffee.

[@katerinafaithdiaz]

You definitely can use it to make a latte and it's small enough to bring places like a camper! Just make sure to use less milk than a typical latte as mentioned in the vid :) Other compact options great for making lattes: moka pot or aeropress! :) See full details for both here: katerinafaith.com/5-ways-to-make-espresso-at-home/

[@NK-kr1cm]

Does this machine come with the filter stand? I did not see one in mine

[@katerinafaithdiaz]

Hey! I don't know what a filter stand is🥹 I showed all the pieces that my machine came with in the unboxing portion of the vid :)

[@Chickooox3]

More coffee recipes with this machine please!

[@katerinafaithdiaz]

DEAL!! :)

[@maryestheraustin2505]

I bought my kheurig for 79, not 149 on Black Friday at Costco. I like the fact it takes so little counter equity. My only observation : product chose, was an economical generic choice.

[@katerinafaithdiaz]

That's awesome! I'm glad you got such a great deal on your machine!!! Costco runs some amazing sales🤩

[@Thaahandler]

Would u recommend this for cappuccino for a Stanley cup

[@katerinafaithdiaz]

No I wouldn't/...Cappuccinos are very espresso forward drinks and since this machine gives you not really great espresso, I think you'd be disappointed with your coffee every day!

[@Thaahandler]

So what do you recommend for cappuccino with pods ​@@katerinafaithdiaz

[@Thaahandler]

​@@katerinafaithdiazthink you should do some cappuccino videos

[@katerinafaithdiaz]

@@Thaahandler Maybe in the future! :)

[@lydiadelay5960]

Have your ever try a Mr coffee?

[@katerinafaithdiaz]

Hey Lydia! We bought a Mr Coffee espresso machine for like $40 a few years back (before I knew anything about coffee) and we didn't like it. We tried and tried to get good espresso shots with it and never enjoyed the coffee so we ended up donating it🙈

[@maryestheraustin2505]

beutiful review

[@katerinafaithdiaz]

thank you so much for watching!!!!

[@Bellaboop1146]

You can just pack the coffee in the in the puck put it in a reusable pod and run it through the Keurig and then you’ll have the espresso

[@katerinafaithdiaz]

I'm not sure I'm understanding what you mean!? :)

[@LSykes-ev9vx]

Have you tried Illy espresso or coffee? Their machines make wonderful espresso.

[@katerinafaithdiaz]

I have not but I'll definitely have to look into that! Thanks for sharing!

[@STate-lt8xq]

$79 at Costco right now!

[@katerinafaithdiaz]

Wowwieeeee! What a STEAL!!!! 🤩

[@LouliSal-zl2vw]

All the problems u have is because u didn't read the manual

[@katerinafaithdiaz]

I know! I promise to read it first next time😂

[@maryestheraustin2505]

I am not a fan of cafe bustelo

[@katerinafaithdiaz]

Their coffee is definitely a darker roast so that's understandable :P Do you have another that you do really like? :)
