Description
What This Listing Covers
This is the Keurig K-Supreme in grey with a matte plastic finish, listed under model number 062151515291. It is the same brewer as the black and silver K-Supreme listings elsewhere in this catalog, in a different color. The specification table lists the operation mode as fully automatic, the interface as buttons, the special feature as a removable tank and the specific uses as personalized coffee strength, iced coffee, home and office.
Of the four K-Supreme listings here, this one has the most complete electrical and packaging data, and it is the one to read if you want to know what actually arrives. Buyers who want the version bundled with a reusable filter should look at the silver K-Supreme bundle instead, and those comparing the whole Keurig range can browse single-serve brewers.
Ground Coffee Support and Brew Options
The coffee input type field on this listing reads K-Cup Pods and Ground Coffee. That is the field to check on any pod machine, because it determines whether the household is locked into buying pods. Support for ground coffee means a reusable filter basket works, though Keurig normally sells that filter separately and the included components here list only a brewer, a reservoir and a user guide.
Keurig’s listing copy describes four brew sizes at 6, 8, 10 and 12 ounces, a strong brew setting, and a hot over ice mode for iced coffee. The specific uses field confirms personalized coffee strength and iced coffee, so those two at least are supported by the specification data rather than only by marketing. The strong setting slows the water through the pod rather than adding coffee, so its effect is real but limited by the fixed dose in the pod.
MultiStream, the Reservoir and the Footprint
MultiStream Technology is the feature that defines the K-Supreme range. Instead of one needle delivering water into the middle of the pod, several streams spread it across the bed, which addresses the uneven extraction a single stream produces. Keurig publishes no measurement of the improvement, so it should be read as stated design intent rather than a quantified result.
The dual position 66 ounce reservoir described in Keurig’s copy is the other defining feature. The tank mounts either beside or behind the machine, which lets the same brewer fit a wide shallow gap or a narrow deep one. The listed dimensions of 7.05 inches deep by 17.91 inches wide by 14.41 inches tall describe the side mounted arrangement, where the tank extends the width. Mounted at the rear the machine is narrower and deeper.
Either way, plan for a machine around 14.5 inches tall. That rules out most under cabinet positions once the lid needs to lift for pod loading. Households short of space should compare a narrower machine such as the Keurig K-Mini, which is built for exactly that constraint.
Color, Finish and Living With It
The matte grey plastic on this version is a more practical finish than it sounds. Gloss black shows every fingerprint and every water spot, and stainless shows both plus the marks left by cleaning products. Matte plastic hides all three, which matters on an appliance handled first thing in the morning with wet hands.
The other daily consideration is where the tank sits. Side mounted, the reservoir is easy to lift out and refill but the machine spans nearly 18 inches. Rear mounted, the span drops but the tank has to be reached over the machine, which is awkward if it is pushed against a backsplash. Deciding that before installation rather than after is worth a minute, because it determines whether refilling is a two second job or a small chore repeated every day.
Highlights
- Ground coffee supported alongside pods, according to the coffee input type field.
- MultiStream water delivery across the pod bed.
- Dual position 66 ounce reservoir that mounts beside or behind the machine.
- Four brew sizes described as 6, 8, 10 and 12 ounces.
- Strong brew and hot over ice settings.
- Listed at 120 volts, standard North American household supply.
- Matte grey plastic finish that hides fingerprints better than gloss.
Things To Consider
The coffee maker type field on this listing reads Coffee Infuser, which describes a steeping brewer rather than a pod machine. That is an import artifact rather than a description of the product, and it is one of several across the four K-Supreme listings in this catalog, another of which calls the same machine an espresso machine.
Those four listings also disagree on measurements. This page gives 7.05 by 17.91 by 14.41 inches at 5.9 pounds. Another gives 10.12 by 14.84 by 14.41 inches at 1 pound, which is impossible. A third gives 10.6 by 16.2 by 14.7 inches at 9.88 pounds and describes a 78 ounce tank rather than 66. The dual position reservoir explains some of the variation in width and depth but not the weights or the tank capacity. Confirm the variant with the seller if any of those numbers decide your purchase.
No wattage is published, though the 120 volt figure at least confirms the supply. Beyond the data, the ordinary pod tradeoffs apply. Each cup needs a pod unless a reusable filter is bought separately, the tank needs cleaning as well as refilling, and the machine needs descaling on a schedule set by local water hardness. Anyone who would rather brew a pot should look at a drip machine such as the Zojirushi thermal carafe brewer, and anyone who wants a manual method with no electricity at all should consider a press from the french presses category.
Who Should Buy It and Who Should Skip It
This suits a two to four person household that wants a large reservoir, a choice of cup sizes, and the option of using ground coffee without buying a different machine. The matte grey finish is a practical choice for an appliance handled with wet hands every morning, and the dual position tank makes it adaptable to an awkward counter.
Skip it if you have less than about 15 inches of vertical clearance, if you brew for a group, or if you want espresso, which this machine does not produce. Anyone who wants a genuine espresso shot should look at a pump machine such as the Breville Bambino Plus.
