Why we love it

The K-Crema is Keurig's answer to the crema question. Its pressure infusion runs at five times the pressure of a standard Keurig brew, per Keurig, so a K-Cup coffee pod comes out with a layer of crema on top, and the same pods make espresso-style shots. The classic brew is still there for tea, cocoa or an ordinary cup, and the drip tray sets at three heights for an espresso cup, a mug or a travel mug. Keurig calls the shots espresso-style, and that is the right word: it is not the 9-bar extraction of an espresso machine, but it is the closest a K-Cup gets.

Pros

  • Crema-topped coffee from K-Cup coffee pods
  • Espresso-style shots from the same pods
  • Classic brew for tea and cocoa too
  • Drip tray at three heights, up to a travel mug
  • MultiStream brewing

Cons

  • Espresso-style, not true espresso
  • A new model, with little owner history
  • Cost per cup is far higher than ground coffee
