We also clocked the machine’s average brew time to be 1 minute and 25 seconds, though, unlike our top contenders - the K-Cafe and K-Elite - the K-Slim’s warm-up and brew cycles are combined, resulting in a longer wait. The hottest recorded cup was 181 degrees Fahrenheit, while 168 degrees was the lowest. It lacks the hot temperature required for the best tasting coffee, however, as do all Keurigs. Plus, its multistream technology ensures a richer cup of coffee by fully saturating its K-Cups, a taste we found during testing to be much like the bold feature seen on other Keurig machines.Įvery coffee we brewed using the K-Slim produced a tasty cup, providing both depth and flavor. Its slender build is the total opposite of the typical bulky design from Keurig, and maintenance is fairly lowkey thanks to the dishwasher-safe water reservoir and drip tray. If you’re looking for a baseline Keurig machine that won’t hog counter space, the K-Slim is a solid easygoing entry at only 4.7-inches wide. Its incredibly easy-to-use functionality makes it all the better. If you're in search of a Keurig that can replicate that coffeehouse feel at home, or you just want a bolder flavor of K-Cup in the morning, the K-Cafe is your go-to machine. Though it’s quite pricey, this premium Keurig is a superhero for those mornings when you want a barista experience with little time to spare. We also measured 75 decibels of noise from the K-Cafe’s brew cycle––the second loudest across all Keurigs––but its warm-up process averaged around a much quieter 65 decibels. The K-Cafe uses about 160 kWh of energy, the highest we recorded for a Keurig machine, but that’s to be expected from a machine that can both brew and froth. Those who prefer piping hot coffee may be disappointed by cooler temperatures. The hottest cup of coffee we measured from the K-Cafe was only 176 degrees Fahrenheit. All of the Keurigs we reviewed were unable to brew coffee at hot temperatures. Though we enjoyed the taste of the K-Cafe’s coffee, we found the temperatures to be a bit lacking.
