Well, the main reason I bought this was because due to health reasons my wife needs to drink Decaf. My Ninja coffee maker made delicious coffee but Decaf does nothing for me so I needed a coffee maker that would easily make both. Ninja does have coffee makes that do pods and a carafe but it’s like one or the other and you have to switch components to brew each one. Keurig has a line of coffee makers that do both but reviews on them have not been the best until this Duo gen 2 came out. It has all the features I want especially the more advanced multi stream pod coffee maker. It makes a hotter or stronger cup of coffee if you prefer. The carafe side works well but I have some suggestions for Gen 3. It makes good tasting coffee but not great. I believe my Ninja Coffee maker made better tasting coffee. Probably the temperature of the water and blooming effect that made great tasting coffee. It also takes about 10 minutes to brew 8 cups and even after the hot plate light goes on it still makes gurgling sounds for a few more minutes. Have yet to make a full pot, probably take about 15 minutes. Maybe a beep after it’s done would be nice. The carafe pours very nicely but a bit awkward to rinse out. The large water reservoir is also a big plus. If you’re a regular coffee drinker that wants a pod and carafe coffee maker this should work fine for you. Are there better coffee makers, of course! But for the convenience of a duo coffee maker this works fine.

My family loves the convenience of the pods but I love ground coffee. I also missed being able to brew a full pot with our old single serve Keurig. This is the best of both worlds and I also appreciate the added feature for iced coffee! Love this machine

I buy coffee makers for my wife first thing I find out I had go buy the filter from a store! These machines use always come with the filter. Next issue was don’t think your going put your to go cup ( yeti) etc larger size ones I think they made for Keurig to sell cups . Don’t get me wrong it can take a fair size but not designed for those 8-12 hour hot cups that hold 3 pods ! The Kraft side works great! Buttons easy to use! I don’t drink coffee and I was able make her coffee first time without asking very simple. If the filter came with it like old days it would had for fire cotton extra star half but when you buy coffee maker you want it ready to go nit have buy parts!

I bought this mainly for my husband who drinks coffee all day long. His biggest complaint is how slowly the water drips into his cup. My biggest complaint is the water container is behind the machine which makes it a little more difficult to see the water level.

I ordered my new brewer on 2/18/25 to replace my old one. Was real hesitant because of some of the reviews. Doesn’t turn off without turning off the clock, can’t turn the hot plate back on etc. I received it on 2/24/25. Glad I didn’t listen to the few bad reviews because it turns out that some people just can’t follow instructions. It does all of that and much more. I love it!!! Auto brew is easy to set up. Single brew is one button start. This thing rocks.

Good looking easy to use versatile and practical. I have the old single serve that punches one hole to the k cup and gives good flavor. The single serve on this machine punches 5 holes which gives you coffee that’s more flavorful and aromatic. Level up!

I really like this pot so far! I like that I can put a whole pot of coffee AND a cup amount of water in the back at once. I like the strong and extra hot feature, and definitely the auto brew! The problem I have is that the heating plate turns off after 2 hours. I can turn it back on but I have to remember to do it. I also wish I could make the carafe side extra hot or “strong.”

I have had a Keurig coffee pot ever since they first came out. I think the k-Duo is the best one yet because I love both hot and cold coffee just like tea. I especially like this particular coffee pot because I can brew one cup or a carafe when I have company. What more could I ask for.

Makes great coffee in carafe or cup. Unfortunately, using the cup button to turn off the carafe warming plate before the 2-hour warm time has expired doesn’t work. I have to unplug the unit to shut off early and then reset the clock, etc. - Somewhat inconvenient.

This brewer is getting 2 stars instead of 1 because it does make a good k-cup. The carafe does not make good coffee at all. It’s honestly the worse carafe I’ve ever had and I’ve used a lot of brewers over the years. Keurig makes convenient coffee, not good coffee I’ve learned. In addition, you have zero control of coffee temp or bold flavor like you do with the k-cup side. I’m returning this product and going with the Ninja which makes far superior coffee.
