Key Features
Multi-Stream Technology
Patented technology extracts more flavor and aroma from each K-Cup pod by saturating the grounds more completely for a richer, more satisfying cup.
Strong Brew Option
Delivers an extra bold cup of coffee by slowing down the brew cycle to increase the contact time between water and coffee grounds.
Iced Coffee Setting
Specialty setting brews coffee at a lower temperature with higher concentration to prevent dilution when poured over ice.
Programmable Auto-Off
Energy-saving feature automatically turns off the brewer after 2 hours of inactivity (adjustable on some models).
Large Water Reservoir
75 oz removable reservoir allows for multiple brews without frequent refilling, with easy-fill access and water window.
