K-Brew+Chill

This Keurig is amazing! We have been using Keurig brewers for at least 10 years now and all have been good to us! Keurig’s customer service is top notch as well. I set up a little coffee bar in my kitchen and added this new brewer and it is the best I have used so far for iced coffees! The chiller tank on the back keeps the water cold and doesn’t melt the ice during the brewing process. To keep the water chilled, it does have to run constantly and the fan will kick on and off throughout the day but it doesn’t bother me at all, it’s fairly quiet. The lights do not come on until the handle is lifted and it shuts itself off automatically. Another great feature is the self cleaning cycle it does after every brew, which will help to keep it running well between descaling. If you are an iced coffee lover like me, get this brewer, you won’t be disappointed and will probably save some $$ on going out to get it!

FINAL UPDATE--Over the past couple years my family and I have gone through FOUR of these. They have all been well-maintained and treated with care, and they have all broken seemingly out of nowhere for zero visible reason. I was willing to be kind because it's a novel product and when it works it's incredible, but obviously four separate coffee machines breaking within a span of a couple years is ridiculous. Last Keurig I will ever buy, but I kept them in business for a few months with my purchases. TLDR: it was an incredible 5 star product until it broke after 4 months of regular use. I'll keep it short and sweet. This is my favorite coffee maker I own, and I own a Breville Barista Touch and a Nespresso in addition to the Keurig Brew+Chill. My first couple iced coffees were very disappointing, to the point I almost initiated a return with Amazon. But once I got the right amount of oat milk (or creamer) and sweetener dialed in I swear this is some of the best iced coffee I've ever had. Better than Dunkin and Starbucks for sure. Obviously the taste depends on the K-cup you use, and the convenience-factor adds some brownie points, but I don't think I'll ever go out and get drive-thru coffee again. The way the machine works is a little unique. Basically for iced coffee it has to "charge" over time. The first time you use the machine it will take 6 hours to charge fully, and once it's charged it can make about 4 iced coffees in a row and still make them very cold (I'm talking sub-60 degrees which for coffee is insane). After that you can still brew iced coffee, it just won't come out very cold. For hot coffee, it works like any other Keurig. But if you only brew one or two iced coffees in like a one hour time period, it charges very fast. The only downside I can mention is the fan noise--in order to work, the cooling apparatus has a fan that runs almost all the time as the machine charges. My house is open-concept, and I can hear the fan in my living room very clearly from the kitchen, which is about 30-feet away. I got used to it pretty quickly, and it's MUCH quieter than my GE Opal Ice Maker. But it's worth mentioning in this review. Overall I ADORE this coffee maker. It feels revolutionary. I got it on sale for $170, which for what you're getting, seems insanely affordable. I plan on buying another one for my house in another state so I don't have to haul it with me every season. UPDATE 4 MONTHS LATER: It broke out of nowhere. Just straight-up stopped working. At first the Descale light lit up, so I ordered the Descale formula and followed all the steps. I thought the problem was a clogged needle after descaling didn't fix it, but cleaning the needles didn't help. It sounds like something is wrong with the pump that pulls in water from the tank. I can't get hot or cold coffee to brew at all. Instead of contacting customer service I just ordered another one because the four months that the machine *did* work were lovely. All that to say: your mileage may very. I dropped the review score from 5 stars to 3, because $200 every 4 months is a high price to pay for iced coffee at home, no matter how delicious and convenient it is.

I had Keurig Classic and Keurig 2.0 (hot and iced). They both still work. I gave the first one to my Mom and I use the other in my office at work now I wanted something different and considered Ninja, Instant Pot, and Keurig brands. In the end, I picked Keurig Brew+Chill - better reviews, based on my personal experience with the brand, and some new features. The size is a little bulkier than what I would have liked but it will do. I love the multi-stream technology - it pokes 5 holes on the coffee pods, strong brew, brews hot & cold, 70 oz water reservoir. I just received and set this up yesterday. I filled the chill tank with filtered cold water from the fridge. It made some sounds that sounded like your kitchen fan blowing on low setting. I pressed the “quiet” mode so then it changed to just a low humming noise. The sound didn’t bother me at all. While it was cooling the chill tank, I felt some warm air coming from the side vent, right behind the water reservoir. It almost felt like your desktop tower blowing some air. 24 hours later, no more noise and warm air blowing. I think it will come on based on your usage of the “cold” brew. Because of the chill feature, this needs to be plugged in at all times to maintain the water cold. So far, I brewed 2 Keurig Iced CoffeeHouse drinks Pineapple Passionfruit and Strawberry Açaí. I also did 4 hot brews of Starbucks, Kirkland and Keurig coffees. For all the ones I made, they are all good as expected with no issues. I will try to cold brew the traditional Keurig next. My coffee mug in the picture is a 16oz and fits. Some of my 24 oz travel mugs fit if I remove the bottom tray. Anything over 8” tall will not fit. This model would only brew 6 to 12 oz at a time. I would have liked a espresso brew to maybe 4 oz? Back to the cold brews - the machine will do an auto rinse maybe 30 seconds immediate after the brew is completed. I put a cup underneath and for 2 cold drinks, only 1 drop each came out from the nozzle. The bottom tray however was almost full. So, it looks like when it rinse, the water goes through a tube from the inside to the bottom tray. Also, I still have to add ice to my cold drinks. Maybe it’s just a matter of preference? There’s no hot water button on this one but if you just want hot water, say for your oatmeal, just brew hot like normal but without any coffee pods in it. It’s actually good to run plain hot water on your machine from time to time as it helps clean it in between. I did that on my previous machines. I also recommend filtered water only. Don’t use tap water or distilled water. I wish it came with a built in frother. I bought a separate Keurig frother and I will download the Keurig Barista app next so I can try some flavored coffee, latte and cappuccino. I’m excited. The traditional Keurig filter cup won’t fit on this one due to the multi stream feature but I read that one will come out in Feb 2025. I will also try that to make my own using regular ground coffee. Even though I had no issues with my other Keurig coffee machines, I purchased the 3 year protection plan, just in case. Make sure to register yours for warranty and support purposes. 🙂

As far as I know this is the only machine that makes ice cold coffee on the spot without it being commercial. It took all night for it to get a solid and blinking bar on the chill indicator, which means it wasn't completely charged, but was enough to make 2 8oz glasses of iced coffee. No waiting time and no ice cubes needed! The iced coffee was delicious when set with the strong function. There is little noise, but I have it next to both my AC and air purifier which drown out any noise it makes. I have to put my ear next to it to hear it going on the highest chill setting. It self cleans after use when using the chill function. It drains a little into the catch pad underneath but it fills it just a little and very easy to pull out and drain. The fill tank is very easy to fill too compared to my previous Keurig. Overall I'm very happy with this machine. Now the real test is to see how long it lasts. I have a reverse osmosis system so I don't need to worry about descaling but I did see in some reviews that these Keurigs that use the fast heating elements can trip a thermostat on the element and it has to be taken apart in order to reset it. This will happen if there isn't any water in the resevoir when it's pulling or after 120 brews, whichever happens first. I hope this isn't the case to reset, but it is covered by my protection plan so I'm not too worried.

I recently upgraded my coffee routine with the Keurig K-Brew+Chill and, after several weeks of daily use, I’ve been impressed with its versatility, ease of use, and build quality. Here’s my breakdown: Pros: Versatile Brewing Options (Hot & Iced): This machine is perfect for anyone who loves both hot and iced coffee. The QuickChill Technology is a standout feature; it cools down freshly brewed coffee rapidly, so I don’t have to wait for my iced coffee to be ready. It also brews a nice hot cup quickly with great flavor extraction. MultiStream Technology: The MultiStream Technology ensures a fuller, richer flavor by saturating the coffee grounds more evenly. I’ve noticed a significant improvement in the taste compared to my older Keurig, with each cup being more flavorful and aromatic, especially when using high-quality K-cups. Large 70oz. Removable Reservoir: The large water reservoir is a huge convenience, particularly if you drink several cups a day or entertain guests often. It saves me the hassle of constant refilling, and the removable design makes it easy to clean and refill. Plus, the transparent design allows me to check the water level at a glance. Customizable Brew Sizes: The coffee maker offers multiple brew sizes, allowing me to choose between small, strong shots or larger cups depending on my needs. This flexibility is great for personalizing each cup, whether I’m making a quick espresso-style brew or a large iced coffee to-go. User-Friendly Interface: The digital touch display is intuitive and user-friendly. It makes selecting between hot and iced options simple, and the controls for adjusting strength and size are straightforward, even when I’m still waking up in the morning. Cons: Cooling Time for QuickChill: While the QuickChill Technology is innovative, it does take a few extra minutes to chill the coffee fully. It’s faster than waiting for coffee to cool on its own, but if you’re in a rush, it might not be instant enough for you. For the best results, I find it helpful to prep the machine and start the process while I’m getting other things ready. Requires Specific K-Cups for Best Results: While you can use any standard K-Cup, I noticed that the MultiStream Technology works best with specific K-Cups designed for richer extraction. If you’re using basic K-Cups, the flavor improvement might not be as noticeable, so it’s worth exploring different brands for the best experience. Takes Up Counter Space: The machine is slightly larger than traditional single-serve models due to the built-in QuickChill system and the large water reservoir. It fits well on my counter, but if you have limited space, it might be a tight fit. Measure your space beforehand to ensure it fits comfortably. Durability: Sturdy Build Quality: The Keurig K-Brew+Chill feels solid and well-constructed. The materials used are high-quality and give the impression that the machine is built to last. The removable parts, like the reservoir and drip tray, feel sturdy and fit securely, reducing the risk of leaks or damage over time. Consistent Performance Over Time: So far, after weeks of daily use, I haven’t noticed any decline in performance or any mechanical issues. The machine’s components, including the QuickChill system, seem reliable and capable of handling regular use. I appreciate that the design considers both durability and user convenience, making it feel like a long-term investment. Overall: The Keurig K-Brew+Chill is an excellent option for coffee lovers who enjoy both hot and iced beverages. It’s versatile, user-friendly, and built with durability in mind, offering a variety of customization options to suit individual preferences. The QuickChill Technology is a welcome addition for iced coffee enthusiasts, making it convenient to enjoy a chilled brew without the wait. If you’re someone who values versatility and durability in your coffee routine, and you have the counter space for a slightly larger machine, this is a fantastic option. Just be prepared for a slightly longer cooling process for the best iced coffee experience, and consider experimenting with different K-Cups to maximize the flavor.

I already had a Keurig that worked fine. I wanted this one for the ice coffee function. I love ice coffee but where I live I'm not near a coffee shop. I've tried making ice coffee at home but never comes out right. Using this Keurig K-Brew+Chill it comes out cold and tasting great. You can add ice to make it colder but it comes out cold enough. I bought a variety pack of ice coffee k cups but I didn't care for the flavors. I just used any regular kcup coffee I had and it was so much better. You can use any coffee really.

Absolute garbage. Stopped chilling about 8 months after I purchased it, and finally after trying to brew a cup of coffee it turned itself off and began emitting a burning/electrical smell. I called Keurig to arrange for a replacement which didn’t go well. Because I unplugged it after the burning/electrical smell and was uncomfortable plugging it back in, I was “refusing to participate in troubleshooting”. In the end I was informed that it was out of warranty anyways (for how he didn’t tell me) but for the low low price of $150 I could purchase another one from them and he’d throw in a 4 pack of coffee pods. Buy at your own risk, this isn’t the same quality Keurig that we’ve all seen in kitchens for years.

Love this coffee maker. Can brew coffee and cold drinkd
