What customers say about "Features"
Keurig K45 Elite Brewing System
  • Low Water indicator light comes on to remind you to fill reservoir in case you don't notice.
  • Water filter feature is great if you have hard water like I do, don't have filtered water and don't want to use bottled water.
  • Removable cup stand gives you room to brew directly into a travel mug.
  • System won't brew if water is too low for a cup; refill indicator light tells you to add water.
  • The K45 has the 3 size cup selections which is great for your particular strength preference.
  • It uses lots of little plastic cups that end up in your trash.
  • There's no carafe size option.
Keurig K55 K-Classic Coffee Maker
  • Has three cup size settings. Has good size water holder.
  • Cleaning this product is hassle free and time efficient. Each of the parts that will need to be cleaned are dishwasher safe.
  • Once the coffee maker sets up for the coffee making - next cup can be made with very little wait.
  • The automatic off feature is very nice for those of us who use the machine only once per day in the morning but often come back from multiple cups during that time.
  • Does not have a programmable mechanism to set time to make coffee automatically at a pre-set time.
  • The inner K-Cup holder is hard to reach, i.e. to clean leftover coffee.
