Our old Kuerig needed to be replaced and hubby bought this one. He loves the frothed milk feature! He’s been enjoying his coffee and frothed milk everyday and I think he would fight you if you tried to take it away from him, LOL. I was worried that the frothed would have to be hand washed or would be filthy and I would have to wash that darn thing every day, but no. He rinses it, leaves it out to dry and we throw it in the dishwasher weekly, easy-peasy! So glad they finally designed an at home, simple but yummy milk frother.

I just brewed my first cup from this brewer….Tim Horton’s Dark. It tasted so much better then the same coffee from my old 2.0 machine and it came out FASTER and so much quiter. Setup was a breeze (wifi connection was very simple) and it tells you to do a cleansing brew before using the machine. The K-Cafe recognized the kcup and suggested optimal settings (you need a wifi connection for this functionality). I was able to change strength and temp settings and of course I was able to choose the cup size. I have not yet made a Cappucino…that’s next!
7/22 UPDATE: Cappucino with a double shot came out quite good…lots of froth in the milk and the double shot of the Barista Italian Roast kcup made for a delicious drink. The result was almost as good as the espresso machine I have!
The water tank is so easy to use…it functions just like a pitcher. I also love that the included frother is powered by the K-Cafe (no separate outlet needed).
Unlike other Keurig machines, the design of this machine is very attractive and extremely user-friendly.

I was enamored with my cousin’s hands-off, multi $k espresso machine, and wanted something equally easy to operate on a busy morning that was easier on the wallet. I think I found a good solution for me. I pair this machine with Lavazza espresso pods and get a drink like a foamy, rich cafe au lait. It’s not a true latte or cappuccino, but it’s a delicious cup of coffee for the price and effort. Makes nice iced teas, hot chocolates, etc. too, which my cousin’s spendy machine can’t provide. I’m having fun figuring out exactly what I like. I do wish the shot and iced drink options were customizable.
Love the frother. Takes a while to heat the milk, but once it’s done it is nice and hot and foamy. Not quite enough foam for a proper cappuccino, but like I said, it doesn’t actually brew a true espresso shot so it’s a moot point. Plenty enough froth for a latte-ish beverage. Love the cold froth option!
So far I’m satisfied with my purchase. Have since heard that Keurig machines can have short lifespans… may rethink the extended warranty offer if I can.

Pros:
Versatility at Its Best: This machine wears many hats—coffee, lattes, cappuccinos—you name it. It’s like having a barista in your kitchen.
BrewID™ Magic: The built-in milk frother whips up creamy goodness. Latte art? You got it. Frothy cappuccinos? Absolutely.
Convenience Galore: Pop in a K-Cup pod, press a button, and voilà! Your caffeine fix is ready. No fuss, no mess.
Smart Delivery Subscription: Up to 96 FREE K-Cup pods? Sign me up! It’s like Christmas morning every month.
Sleek Aesthetics: The black beauty fits seamlessly on your countertop. It’s the coffee equivalent of a little black dress.
Cons (Because Nothing’s Perfect):
Wi-Fi Woes: The “smart” part isn’t always brilliant. Connecting to Wi-Fi can be a headache. Sometimes it’s like teaching a cat to salsa dance. I often have to reconnect to WiFi.
Plastic Fantastic: The build feels a tad plasticky. For the price, I expected a touch more elegance. It’s like sipping champagne from a Solo cup.
It’s costing me a lot of money because I can’t stop drinking coffee now!!
In summary, the Keurig K-Cafe SMART is your coffee genie—grants wishes, with a side of quirks. 🌟☕
Remember, even the best coffee makers have their off days! 😅
Shopper X –
We’ve had this machine for a month. My husband & I are late to the Keurig game but decided to finally get one for those times he wants a single cup in the evenings. I didn’t even know Keurig had a machine that frothed milk, but since I love “fancy” coffee & tea drinks, this is the one I ordered although I didn’t have high hopes.
When we received the package, it looked like it had been returned as there was a place where a label had been torn off and there was no manual or other paperwork in the box. The machine looked unused, so we decided to look up the manual online and give it a try, but fully expected that something was wrong with it.
We were surprised to find that the K-cup part of the machine not only worked, but that the latte/cappuccino side also made wonderful frothy milk! We’ve been experimenting with various coffees, milks, syrups, and toppings for a whole month and have been happily surprised with the results! One of our favorite combinations is Double Donut Coffee espresso roast, Torani vanilla syrup, and frothed whole milk topped with caramel syrup & Twix Shakers seasoning blend. Even more decadent is replacing the whole milk with half & half and adding a squirt of whipped cream on top!
As for how this does with regular coffee, my husband has gone through an assortment box of bold and dark roast K-cups, but other than a couple of the Guy Fieri coffees, hasn’t found any he wants to reorder. I prefer medium roast coffee but haven’t tried any of those K-cups yet as I’m quite happy with the milky espresso drinks we’ve been making.
This machine is super easy to use, fast, and very easy to clean. We’ve found you do need to rinse and dry the frothing cup after each use, even when making a second drink immediately, or any residual foam will dry on the inside and the milk will not froth as well. If we want to “sit & sip” vs. drinking immediately, I’ll pull one or both shots (you can get two from each of the espresso pods I mentioned!), add the syrup, and heat 30 seconds in the microwave before adding the milk. If anything changes with regards to how this Keurig performs, I will update my review, but we are very pleased with it so far.

A quick background – My home is completely automated via Alexa, having every iteration of Echo device made, from the first echo dot through the echo show 15. I have everything, from major appliances to all my window blinds, security cams, security system, ALL plugs, switches, etc. working through Alexa. I can troubleshoot issues that even their own techs can’t seem to solve. Point being, I know how to setup and use smart devices.
My relationship with Keurig is a love/hate one. I loved my first Keurigs and was excited when they first came out with ones that included the frother. Unfortunately, the first models with frothers were literally useless. Their weird magnetic system to froth simply did not work, though I continued to use it until it died a fairly quick death immediately upon warranty expiration. Not learning my lesson, I replaced it with the same machine. Seeing the forther worked no better, I bought a separate frother to use with the coffeemaker. Then I saw they came out with a new machine that not only had a whisk-type frother, but was also a “smart” machine that would integrate with my alexa devices. I grabbed one. Upon unpacking it, I quickly noticed that their was no user manual, though they were able to afford to include an expensive looking large color brochure which did nothing except to extol all the virtues of the machine (more on that coming).
I immediately got the new machine turned on to try to make just a simple cup of coffee to test it. Nope. Can’t do. Have to download the Keurig app and set it up before any use. So, got the app on my phone and went through the initial setup to my wifi quickly and easily. Then got to the setup with alexa part. The Keurig app directed me to the Alexa app automatically, explaining firt to simply follow the instructions when it opened the Alexa app. WRONG! It just opens the Alexa app to its main home with nothing about connecting to the Keurig. Fine. I went to devices to add it manually. Keurig isn’t even listed under the coffeemaker category. So, had to enter it manually and finally got the two to connect.
At the same time, decided I’d better find a user manual and finally found a so-called one at the Keurig site. 8 pages long, with a scant half a page on operating ALL the features. Over a page on troubleshooting, however. The rest was basically useless fluff and filler. One of the first things I wanted to try out was the frother. The front of the frother has, what appears to the naked eye to be one button with a large “K” covering most of it and a vey thin, almost unnoticeable line above it. The phone app offers no help on operation at all. The manual just had a microscopic pic of just the thin line. Finally, with a magnifying glass, was able to see that what appeared to be just one button was one piece of rubber with a very, very thin indentation line between the line and the “K” on the one button. The very small space that contains the line is what controls the heat level of the frother, from cold to very hot, which in turn, controls the amount of froth. Am still figuring out the right amount of liquid to use to get my desired volume of froth, but that will come. So far, it’s okay, though not yet near the level of my separate frother.
As for the actual coffeemaker, again it’s a love/hate. It reads the pod you put in, including the universal pods, which aren’t included, and jumps to default settings for temp, strength, etc for that type of pod and coffee. However, those weren’t the settings I wanted. But, it does allow you to preset up to 10 “Favorites” settings. However, that involves going back to the phone app to setup. That took a little figuring out, as the main purpose of the phone app seems to be to puch recipes and settings I would never use. Finally got 3 “Favorites” set for our different likes. With that done, brewing is fairly easy. Insert whatever pod, wait for the machine to read it and jump to its default settings, then click “Favorites”(which does not light up as an option) scroll through to the one I have preset and finally hit the “K” button to brew. I must admit, I am pleased with the actual improvement over the end result of the coffee, enabled by the ability to set 5 different strength levels and 5 different temp levels. The end result is a definite improvement over the past machines. One last point, it cannot froth and brew at the same time (akin to walking and chewing gum). Am still not sure about the frother and may end up going back to my separate frother. Time will tell.
Was also hoping that, like my previous 2 Keurigs with frothers, this one would include the same coupon for a decent -size assortment of pods for free. No such luck. It included a $3 off coupon. Guess all the money they spent to include the useless, basically marketing brochure used up the budget.
In the end, I would only recommend this machine if you have a lot of patience to get it up and running to suit your personal needs. And finally, don’t expect much from the integration with Alexa. In my case, at least, it basically useless.
EDIT 03/26/2023:It’s been about a month and a half now and I’m compelled to warn others to steer clear of this ill-conceived piece of trash! I’ll start with my main concern in my original review. I wasn’t happy with the initial results, but figured maybe it was me and it would just take some time to figure it out. After a week, I figured out it was worthless and went back to my separate electric frother. If you consider ‘froth’ to be slightly whipped liquid that is not much different than pouring warm cream into your coffee, it’s fine. But, if you expect froth to be, well, frothy, you won’t get it here.
Next, it’s “SMART” features. Nothing smart about it. All a gimmick that doesn’t work half the time. When you put a pod in, the machine reads “Brew ID”, which its way of supposedly reading the type of coffee you have placed into it. While it goes through that process, which is required before you can brew, you just stand there waiting. About half the time, it just keeps spinning and blinking, whatever, for forever. I finally learned that, after a couple of minutes of this wasted time, you simply open the lid and re-close it and the machine magically all of a sudden recognizes your pod. A total waste of time.
Now, onto a combo of Keurig’s own universal pods for use with your own freshly ground coffee, which also includes a review of their supposed customer service. After using the pods for a while, I awoke yesterday, only to find that the machine immediately read “no pod inserted” after I attempted to make my coffee. Tried again, same result. Since I bought 4 of the pods, I thought maybe the one had become defective after only 6 weeks, so tried all the others. Same result, which meant the machine would not make y morning coffee at all. This takes me to their customer service, whom I hoped could tell me what was wrong so I could actually get the machine to make my, now much-needed, morning coffee. As expected, I got an offshore rep, whom admitted she had never seen or used a Keurig machine. Took her 4 times to get my machine’s serial number correct. Explained the pod problem to her and she proceeded to go ito a monologue about properly cleaning the frother! As is the case with many companies’ offshore reps, they either don’t actually listen to the reason for you call or they simply don’t understand what you are saying. Once I finally got her to understand what the actual problem was, she instructed me to ‘reboot’ the coffeemaker! Unplug it and wait a minute or so, plug it back in and try again. Fortunately that worked and only took about 45 minutes on the phone to get there.
All told, my morning cup of coffee took almost 1-1/2 hours to brew. I have been a Keurig customer and lover of their machines since they first debuted. But, as is the case with far too many companies, the prices continue to go up for a premium product that is now cheap garbage.
If you care about either your time or your money, look elsewhere, even if you have loved Keurig in the past. They are no longer the same company or do they offer the same high-quality products and customer service. Downgrading to ONE star.
FINAL UPDATE (05/29/23): Exactly 2 months after getting the machine, it died. Initially, offshore customer service was great, promising an immediate warranty replacement. However, they make you jump through hoops to get it. Then, it went south. First, they wrote to tell me it had been turned down because I hadn’t supplied everything they asked for, which to the letter I had. I responded with that fact and they went silent, but I did received a replacement within a few days, unannounced. Just one problem – the “new” replacement was dead on arrival. A call to customer service (offshore) only got me a promise of a callback the next day, a call that never came. I finally gave up. Sent them a scathing email, took a $250 loss and into the trash their “new” replacement went and I bought another brand, which turns out to be SO much better than the over-priced crap Keurig is selling these days. Still, over a month later have not heard a single word from Keurig, they simply don’t care. The new machine I now have, whose name sounds like a Japanese warrior, unbelievably outperforms the expensive Keurig garbage. After being a loyal Keurig customer since 2004, when they first entered the home retail market, they couldn’t even be bothered to respond to the fact that I ate the $250 for their garbage. Steer clear of Keurig at all costs. Chances are your new expensive machine will die VERY quickly or be dead right out of the box. And, you will get ZERO customer service and simply be ignored. Welcome to the new face of corporate America. Sad.
