This is a nice machine. It gets the coffee hot in a respectable time. I like to use refillable pods. The coffee maker doesn’t work well with many of them. I used a keurig before I got this one and many of the pods that I used with that didn’t work in this one. The ones that will work are difficult to get into place. I like everything else about the machine.
Me –
My wife and I had been looking for a multi-purpose machine, one which makes both a carafe and a pod of coffee. I had seen this and after some investigation, we bought it.
Observations:
This is a basic machine which does not have a lot of features.
I’ve read a number of reviews complaining the carafe spout design allows a few drops of beverage to spot the countertop. All one has to do is slow down when pouring. The wide spout is conducive to pouring quickly. Me, myself, I pour my coffee over the sink so any drips or drops go in it. Alternatively, a dish towel could be placed on the counter and poured over it.
Keurig uses a 5 ounce cup measure for the carafe side. The carafe is 12 cups. 12×5=60, which is the exact reservoir size.
READ the directions! This machine is easy to use and does exactly what it says it will do. To expect it to do X when it isn’t designed to do, it is unreasonable to expect that performance. If you need a different set of features, find the brewer which has them. Don’t buy it and then gripe it doesn’t do something it was never designed or equipped to do.
Pros:
The machine does exactly what it says it will do, day in and day out.
It has a 2 hour auto shut-off for the carafe side and a 2-3 minute shut off on the pod size.
Easy and intuitive to use.
It is simple to maintain. I descale it as needed with the Keurig solution. I descale about every 3 months. Depending on your water, you may have to descale more often, or less depending on your use.
You can brew a carafe and use the pod side while the warming plate of the carafe is on. Haven’t tried to brew both sides at once.
It can be programmed to auto-brew at any given time, however, you must set the auto-brew function each brew cycle. This prevents the machine from automatically brewing a pre-programmed setting when the reservoir is nearly empty or empty. This is simply a safety measure.
Cons:
The directions which came with my machine says none of the parts are dishwasher safe. I would think for the money, a simple change of plastics composition would be in order without raising the price.
The carafe glass stains easily, though it is easy to clean. The glass feels flimsy but I haven’t dropped it.
It doesn’t come with the gold mesh filter, though it can be ordered or purchased at the grocery store.
UPDATE:
I’ve regularly descaled the machine with vinegar. Today however, I could not get the descale cycle completed, that is, without some frustration. I’d run out of vinegar and had (fortunately) 2 bottles of the Keurig descaler solution. I used the first bottle and was shocked at the amount of scale it removed. After completing the Duo instructions for descaling, I encountered 2 problems. First, the descale warning light would not go away. The second and most frustrating, is that in the carafe rinse, I would not get the full amount of required water to dispense. Instead of 12 cups, it gave me 8. I thought it was my mistake and I refilled the reservoir and tried it again, making sure I selected the 12 cup carafe amount. This time I got 2 and in the last attempt I got perhaps a few ounces. The pump made a whining, thudding noise.
Spending a few minutes on Google told me the issue with no water was either the pump was out or debris in the line. I ran the second bottle of Keurig descale solution and let it sit for about 30 minutes. I then repeated the rinse instructions and this time I got the full amount of dispensed water.
The descale lights did not turn off as expected. I learned there is a manual reset sequence which solves it. With the power “ON” press and hold the 8 cup and 10 cup selection buttons for about 5 seconds. Mine turned off immediately.

We absolutely love this coffee pot. It is so convenient to be able to make a pot in the morning and a single cup in the evening. Our first one broke (completely died and wouldn’t turn on,) but Amazon replaced it. It has a great warranty. We wouldn’t want anything else!

It makes a good tasting coffee. It never makes the full 12 cups. Most is 11 cups. I’ve gone through the procedure to reset the machine, unplug, wait 10 minutes etc and no change. It takes up counter space due to its square shape, and after using for 2-3 weeks, the coating on the warming plate has chipped. I do like being able to make a single cup at a time, and that’s mainly why I bought this. Also, the carafe design pours without spilling all over the place, like my last coffee maker did. I place a dishtowel under the machine, so that i can turn it easily to add water, since the reservoir is on the back side.

The only complaint I have is the pot leaks when pouring a whole pot of coffee. Lol well 2 complaints I guess, is the water reserve isn’t big enough 😂 using my machine ALL the time I’m always refilling it. I would give this machine 5 stars all day, everyday😊. Also the customer service has been very helpful when needed.

After years of having only a Keurig K cup machine we decided to purchase this coffee maker. I am very pleased with our purchase, it works well, a little loud when it starts up but it is easy to operate. The only negative is the auto timer option, you have to reset it every day.

This is the best coffee maker I ever had. Perfect size for my counter.
I’m impressed by how fast it makes a single cup and it’s actually hot.
My old machine was slow and the coffee was only warm.

This is a great coffee maker, whether you prefer a carafe or just a single cup. The product does work just as the product description says. The carafe does NOT dribble, in fact it’s the best carafe of all the different ones I’ve used over MANY years. The coffee is great and it brews quickly. I only gave the product 4 stars, overall, because it does have issues. First, I didn’t like the feature that automatically turns the hot plate off after an arbitrary 2 hours. I should be able to turn the plate on/off independently to get the full benefit of it and avoid wasting coffee. To hell with someone making the decision that I have to reduce my comumption of electricity. I paid good $$ for the Keurig and the coffee, and I pay too much for electricity. If. Want my coffee to stay warm a little longer that’s my choice. Not someone else’s. Also, this is a defect in the product; it does not always heat the water before brewing. So if I want to get a cup while the carafe is filling or even as soon as it finished brewing I get Cold coffee. This happens randomly, once every week or so. I’ve checked to make sure I’m following the procedures correctly. I’m obsessive-compulsive about procedures and I’ve even written up a little cheat sheet to follow to make sure I’m following the few, very simple steps, and I am. So there is clearly a defect (make sure the water always preheats) and a design issue that need to be corrected (adjust carafe ‘ON’ times). In spite of those issues this is a good product that makes great coffee. You can’t go wrong.

The Keurig K-Duo Single Serve K-Cup Pod & Carafe Coffee Maker has exceeded my expectations! This coffee maker is the perfect combination of convenience and versatility. I love that I can brew a quick single cup using K-Cup pods or make a full carafe for when I have guests over. The sleek black design looks great in my kitchen, and the 1470 watts ensure it heats up quickly and brews efficiently.
The controls are intuitive and user-friendly, making it easy to switch between single serve and carafe brewing. Cleanup is a breeze, and I appreciate the programmable feature for setting up my morning brew in advance. The coffee tastes fantastic, with a rich and robust flavor every time.
This coffee maker is a game-changer for anyone looking for the best of both worlds in a single appliance. Highly recommend the Keurig K-Duo for its quality, versatility, and ease of use!

Each morning when we get up at 5:30 we expect to find the coffee ready so we can simply pour a cup, head to our room and start our morning studies.
With this coffee maker is easy to do so. It’s easy to set the timer and find a waiting cup of coffee when we climb out of bed each morning.
The best part, however, is that we use to make a second pot of coffee for our afternoon study sessions, usually pouring out half the pot because we are really only wanting 1 or 2 cups of coffee. Now we simply pop in a k cup of coffee, press a few buttons and the coffee pours right into the cup in less than a minute. Amazing.
It’s also been kinda fun being able to try some of the many different flavors of coffee out there by buying a variety pack.
This coffee maker is working great and we are glad we bought it.
