Before kids... Before marriage... It was me and my K-cup.
We ruled the world together. Seriously.
I never could make a good cup of coffee to save my life, yet I needed to coffee to get me through my day. And that's when I met my lovely friend, the K-cup.
And yet, when the husband and I got together, he fought for a normal coffee pot to be back in our home. He wanted the full pot of coffee every morning. I swore to him it was a bad idea. Had he even tasted my coffee that I attempt to brew? It would be a joke, a terrible idea, and like most things in marriage, we ended up compromising. I lost my beloved Keurig, he was forever required to make the morning coffee... until now.
Thank you, Keurig, for sponsoring this post. I was selected for this opportunity by Keurig with collaboration of Moms Meet; the content and opinions expressed here are all my own.
When I found out that I had the opportunity to partner with Keurig and their new K-Duo Essentials Coffee Maker, I was over the moon. This lovely coffee maker is designed to not only brew K-Cup® pods, but also ground coffee! It is the answer to all of the years of Bahorich coffee battles!!
It comes with a 12-cup glass carafe along with a heating plate to help keep your coffee warm. I love the auto-off feature for both the brewer and heating plate, because it makes this coffee maker energy-efficient. It also shares a single reservoir, holding up to 60 oz., that goes between the single serve side and carafe. This allows the machine to save space (which is great because our countertops are limited), and it allows brewing and refilling easy-–saving me time and simplifying my morning routine. The Smart Start feature allows your coffee maker to heat, then brews in one simple process. No need to wait for it to heat before selecting your cup size.
We have been using the K-Duo Essentials Coffee Maker for over a week now and it is truly a match made in heaven for our home. Dusty makes the coffee pot in the morning for the whole family to sip on as we wake up, and I still have the freedom to brew myself a mid-afternoon brew to pick me up without the hassle of messing up (or wasting) a whole pot of coffee! The K-Duo Essentials Coffee Maker is travel mug friendly, which was perfect as I was hitting the road for work last week, and it can brew multiple sizes, such as an 8-, 10-, or 12-cup carafe and an 8, 10, or 12 oz cup.
What I honestly cannot believe beyond how perfect it is for our family is the price. I always imagined a dual coffee pot/pod combo to run on the steeper end of coffee makers; and yet, the Keurig K-Duo Essentials Coffee Maker retails for $99 and is available at Walmart.
