The Keurig is a classic for a reason: people want coffee in the morning, and people want it with as few taps of a finger as possible.
We’re a few weeks out from Black Friday deals (and Cyber Monday, and post-New Year’s … the sales really never do end), but, for those who can’t wait that long for their daily (or more — we’re not judging) fix, there are a few Keurigs that are steeply discounted on Amazon right now.
All three models are extremely compact and great for brewing multiple sizes of drink. Each one also makes more than just coffee — typical Keurig pods include teas and hot chocolate, while the the K-Elite can make soup or oatmeal, too. They each hold at least 36 ounces of water at a time, turn off automatically, and brew pods in a few minutes or less. Amazon reviewers say that they’re also fairly quiet, are easy to operate, and last for years. In particular, people in small apartments say that the coffee makers make natural fits for their kitchens.
Here are a few of the sales best sales on offer.
The Keurig K-Elite is practically a Swiss army knife — exactly the kind of coffee maker you’d sneak into a bunker. That’s because it brews coffee (both hot and iced), and can produce hot water for soup or oatmeal. It boasts a large, 75-ounce reservoir, can brew several different cup sizes (4, 6, 8, or 12 ounces), and reviewers say that it’s a great upgrade pick from cheaper Keurig options, while still being pretty cheap. It retails for $189.99, but is on sale right now for about $111.
The Keurig K-Slim is a great sub-$100 option, going from $129.99 to $69.99 with this current deal. Like the Elite, it can serve multiple cup sizes (8, 10, or 12 ounces), while carrying slightly less water (46 ounces). Reviewers like its compact size, and say that it makes coffee as well as products that are twice as large. The slim, streamlined shape of the (aptly-named) K-Slim means it’s easy to shove to the corner of a countertop and forget about when needed.
The cheapest of the bunch is going for $10 less than the K-Slim: $59.99 to sweeten a (typically) $100 price tag. The K-Compact is about as good as you could ask for at that cost — it brews coffee quickly like other Keurigs, it offers multiple sizes (6, 8, or 10 ounces), and it comes with a 36-ounce reservoir. Its auto-off feature turns the power off two hours after the previous brew, it has a removable drip tray that accommodates most standard travel mugs, and reviewers say its coffee is as good as from the other models, even if it’s a little louder.
