Ranked #5 in Best Single-Serve Coffee Makers

Keurig K-Supreme Plus Smart Single Serve Coffee Maker

3.9

4 sourcesall derived$199.99as of Nov 1

The Keurig K-Supreme Plus Smart Single Serve Coffee Maker uses Keurig's MultiStream technology, which punches five holes in a K-Cup pod instead of one to improve extraction. Reviewers said coffee quality benefits, and brew strength, temperature, and drink sizes are all adjustable. Others criticized the brew temperature as still short of where it should be. The price is premium, which pushes it out of reach for budget buyers. It fits people who want convenience plus decent coffee quality but don't need the full smart connectivity of the K-Supreme Smart model.

Strengths

— MultiStream technology improves coffee extraction and flavor
— Includes programmable buttons for saved brewing preferences
— Brews iced coffee with special settings for better taste

Watch-outs

— Price is fairly high compared to basic models

Nespresso Vertuo Next Coffee and Espresso Maker

4.4

1 source$160.99as of Nov 1

The Nespresso Vertuo Next has a sleek, compact body and brews six different cup sizes, from espresso to carafe. Reviewers praised how easy it is to use and called it a fit for busy mornings. It can't make milk-based drinks, and it locks you into buying pods. Olivia Wolfe of Livingetc called it a great appliance for anyone who wants quality coffee without the barista experience, while Carly from Lipgloss and Crayons found the taste better than previous machines like Keurig. Convenience and consistent quality over professional-grade features is the pitch.

Strengths

— Easy to use with simple one-touch brewing process
— Compact footprint suitable for smaller kitchens
— Offers a variety of coffee formats from espresso to carafe sizes

Watch-outs

— Doesn't make milk-based drinks
— Requires ongoing purchase of proprietary pods
— Limited to Nespresso capsule ecosystem

How they stack up

Keurig K-Supreme Plus Smart Single Serve Coffee Maker

The K-Supreme Plus introduces MultiStream technology that improves extraction quality compared to the Keurig K-Elite and K-Classic, but it's more expensive and still falls short of optimal brew temperatures. Unlike the Ninja DualBrew Pro, it lacks a built-in milk frother, and while it offers more customization than the K-Mini Plus, it's less compact and doesn't support ground coffee brewing.

Nespresso Vertuo Next Coffee and Espresso Maker

The Nespresso Vertuo Next excels in simplicity and compact design compared to the Ninja DualBrew Pro and Breville Creatista Plus, which offer more complex features. However, it lacks milk-based drink capabilities that the Breville Creatista Plus provides, and its proprietary pod system limits versatility compared to the Keurig K-Elite's flexibility with different pod types.
