If you were to ask me what coffee machine I had at home, the answer would be simple: a Keurig. It’s the machine that brews my favorite K-Cup in the morning.
While it seems like a simple question, my answer could have multiple meanings. For me, a Keurig is the original Keurig K-Classic Machine, but for you, it could be a Keurig K-Mini.

Maybe you’re in the market for a new Keurig and can’t tell the difference between the various models.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have a 1.0 or 2.0 Keurig?
The 1.0 Keurig models are the original coffee makers Keurig created. In general, 1.0 models have a smaller water reservoir, accept all coffee pods, don’t allow for brewing control, and only offer manual cleaning.
