Introduction
The K-Duo® Special Edition Single Serve & Carafe Coffee Maker: the perfect brewer for any occasion. This versatile brewer is the best of both worlds, using both K-Cup® pods and ground coffee to brew a cup and a carafe of your favorite varieties.
Design
The K-Duo® Special Edition coffee maker has a sleek, silver finish that will complement any kitchen and stand out on your countertop.
Functionality
The 60 oz. single water reservoir is shared between single serve and carafe brewing, which means fewer water refills to save you time. The included 12-cup glass carafe with metallic handle and heating plate are perfect for keeping your coffee hot, and the added convenience of the Pause & Pour feature makes serving a snap! No need to wait for the entire carafe to brew – the Keurig® K-Duo® Special Edition coffee maker can be paused mid-brew for 20 seconds, so you can pour fresh, hot coffee right away. Or set your preferred brew time up to 24 hours in advance and enjoy a freshly brewed carafe right when you want it with Programmable Carafe Auto Brew.
Customizability
Create your perfect cup and carafe every time with the K-Duo® Special Edition coffee maker. Choose your favorite ground coffee, or choose from hundreds of delicious K-Cup® pod varieties of coffee, tea, cocoa, and more. Use the Strong Brew button for a bolder, more intense single cup. With multiple brew sizes, you can make a 6, 8, 10, or 12-cup carafe for large gatherings, as well as a 6, 8, 10, or 12 oz. cup just for you.
Convenience
You can brew the perfect amount of fresh, full-flavored coffee whether you’re hosting friends or just enjoying a cup – and a moment – to yourself! Based on consumer feedback, we have updated the K-Duo Brewer. Customer reviews have been removed that relate to the previous version of the brewer.
