A very affordable coffee maker, the Keurig K-Elite machine makes seriously tasty coffee. The design is modern and sleek with soft-touch digital buttons. The small and compact machine fits easily on the kitchen counter.

Anyone who has been around kitchen appliances will recognize the Keurig brand. They have been in the business of manufacturing a number of different useful kitchen appliances, earning people’s gratitude for saving them time and energy.

Auto shutoff is another useful feature on cappuccino makers that helps keep your home safe and utility bills lower.

The espresso machine automatically shuts off after 2 hours of not being used.

It has a programmable capacity of 24 hours. So you can put in the grounds or pods and water ahead of time and schedule it to start brewing just before your usual wake up time. This way, you can wake up to the smell of coffee every morning. A warming plate helps keep the coffee hot for the 2 hours the machine is on.

Is caffeine effective for increasing energy and focus?

Absolutely. At least for a period of time.

After this initial duration, the main energy-boosting effects of coffee may diminish, requiring either more volume or a higher concentration of caffeine to achieve the same effect. Still, coffee can be a powerful pick-me-up at times when you need to boost your productivity into overdrive, not to mention it’s a delicious way to achieve this end.

The Keurig K-Elite coffee maker has the capacity to prepare 12 cups of coffee in just a few minutes. It takes about a minute per cup or 10-11 minutes to brew the full 12 cups of coffee.

But what if you’re in a hurry?

The best coffee makers have a handy ‘pause-brew’ button that allows you to brew a cup of coffee even while the multi-cup coffee maker is running. Even while the coffee machine is busy brewing, you can quickly pause it mid-brew for a steaming cup of coffee.

This feature is useful for those days when you just can’t afford to wait 10 minutes for your entire batch to brew. This is indeed a useful feature.

Are coffee makers ideal for cold coffee?

If there is a fault when using a coffee maker for cold brew, then the cold brew is likely to be a bit weaker. So if you like your coffee strong, this might not be the one for you.

Some coffee makers make coffee almost syrupy in consistency. The beer also lacks the rich flavors we are used to. These coffee makers are not for coffee aficionados or those who like to give baristas minutes of instruction at the coffee shop.

Instead, it’s aimed at the simple coffee lover, who wants a coffee machine that’s pocket-friendly, yet makes great-tasting coffee with minimal fuss.
