Overview
The Keurig K-Cafe is a single-serve K-Cup coffee maker that adds a dishwasher-safe milk frother and a concentrated coffee shot function, letting it brew regular coffee, lattes and cappuccinos from any K-Cup pod.
- SHOT button brews concentrated coffee for lattes
- Dishwasher-safe frother with hot and cold settings
- 4 cup sizes from 6 to 12 oz
- Auto-off 2 hours after last brew
Who it's for
Good for K-Cup households that want occasional lattes or cappuccinos without buying a separate espresso machine. Not for anyone wanting genuine espresso-shop intensity or bold coffee straight out of the box without adjusting brew strength.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers most often single out the milk frother as the standout feature, describing thick foam in a few minutes and easy cleanup since it's dishwasher safe. Some report having to switch the brew strength to bold every time since the default felt weak with regular K-Cups, and one buyer had trouble connecting the companion app to their phone until switching devices.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Milk frother handles dairy and non-dairy milk, hot or cold
- Works with any K-Cup pod, not a proprietary system
- Large 60 oz reservoir holds about 6 cups
- Default brew strength described as weak by several reviewers
- Frothing is a separate step, slower for multiple drinks
