Keurig coffee makers for the RV

[suprz]

Just looking for recommendations for the right model of Keurig coffee maker, mostly it will just be me and my wife using it. So which model do you use / recommend?

[irishtom29]

On any forum, any, when a person asks a specific question about Keurig machines you can bet your life some smug popinjays will go on about how they make coffee a better way, how K coffee isn't real coffee and other such nonsense. It's amusing.

WE have a K250 for the trailer. Works AWESOME!! only downfall for me is it has a 14 ounce limit with the bigger carafe cup reusable basket. My K525 has a 16 which is nice.

Yes it is a power hog, it is even a bit bigger than a percolator. Difference is I can have my coffee done in 2 minutes start to finish and not wait for water to heat.

You can get most of the water out. It takes a little patience but it is doable. WE just run a descale at the first of our season then get as much water out as we can when we put it up.

Been going 2 years and all good so far

I have a Keurig-like coffeemaker I bought on Amazon. It is an Aicok. It cost $37. It uses 800 watts so is inverter friendly. It stores easily in my pantry and there is no need to drain it between uses. Makes a hot cup of coffee and is simple to use. I have used it for the last year and am pleased so far.

This, like most things, is a personal choice. The OP asked for recommendations on a Keurig coffee maker, I guess that also includes generic Keurig types. Don't believe he really gives a **** what you think of the concept.

We use a full size original, takes a little more space, but not an issue for us, now. Also, on power usage, it takes a lot for a short period. I have a MyJo for our small rig, haven't tried it yet.

Don't do it! We went back to a drip brewer when our Keurig died just before Christmas and won't ever go back to that crappy one cup at a time concept. If it's single cups only you want there are several excellent one cup drip brewers available.

A funnel and filter system works real well for larger batches also. You just need a bigger Melitta filter.

Convenience. There is little cleanup and a variety of different blends can be easily stored.

Downside: They are, typically, energy hogs and the individual serving cups are expensive. If you want more than one cup, repeat the coffee making process.

Until I get to the point where I have to have beans out of a rodents ass from Java, I'll use my simpler methods, percolator for large batches and a funnel with coffee filter for smaller batch. I've also drank a fair amount of cowboy coffee---pour ground beans in a pot of hot water, steep, pour in 1/2 cup of cold water to sink the grounds.

We use large Kurig and a carafe that uses the large pods K Kups are just more convenient we will use a brewer when many people are near. French Press I tired it just seemed like a gimmick to me.

No mess, take out kupps and throw away.

It's simply a preference thing. For the coffee snobs, the Kureg is probably not good enough. Thank goodness I'm not one of them.

I use a French press.
Takes up less space.
No electricity required (we dry camp most of time)
Better coffee.

We use the largest home brewer K575 and store it in the sink when travelling.

[cpaulsen]

We use the full size model.........either make one cup or 12.

[bikendan]

the DW doesn't drink coffee and i've cut down to one or two cups a day.
so, taking a Keurig machine doesn't make sense, especially since we dry camp most of the time.

so i got me one of these, a Presto MyJo:



just boil some water and you're good to go.
cost me around $12.
no electricity needed.
