KRUPS Cup-On-Request Coffee Maker Review

Since the blessing of the Keurig K-Cup Single Serve Coffee Maker, coffee lovers have enjoyed freshly brewed coffee, one cup at a time. It’s a great and convenient way to enjoy your daily Joe. With that being said, we have come across another product that is sure to give the K-Cup coffee maker a run for its money. KRUPS has introduced a coffee machine that offers the advantage of serving one cup at a time, perfectly prepared and dosed, but without a K-Cup or capsule. The latest and greatest is the KRUPS Cup-On-Demand KM9000 coffee maker. While Keurig machines offer high-quality coffee and convenience, over time it might make more economic sense to opt for a cup-to-order from KRUPS.

Cup on demand vs. Keurig Coffee Makers

At first glance, the KRUPS Cup-On-Request coffee maker (compared to the popular Keurig B70 coffee machine) is roughly $20 more expensive than the Keurig machine to buy. You’ve got two great machines here, so you might be thinking, “I’ll save 20 bucks and go Keurig.” I don’t want to take anything away from Keurig and their quality products, but if you think about it long term, you’d save money with the KRUPS machine. If you look at Keurig, you have to buy their coffee pods (they call them pods) to use in their machines. 18 capsules cost approximately $10. So you get 18 cups of coffee for $10, which works out to 0.55 per cup. When you compare that to having a cup of coffee at Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts, that’s pretty good; however, with the KRUPS Cup-On-Demand coffee maker, you use the coffee of your choice that you get from the store; figure around $8 a pound right now. One pound of coffee yields between 60 and 80 cups of coffee; I’ll err on the side of conservatism here and say 60 cups. Do the math and you’ll see.13 a cup with the Cup-On-Demand machine. Clearly, the savings over time would be dramatic. It is also less expensive from an environmental point of view; Fewer plastic containers are thrown in the trash.

KM9000 coffee maker – La Mecánica

What’s great about the Cup-On-Request brewer (among other bells and whistles) is that KRUPS developed a patented heating system, called Precise Warming Technology™, that keeps the coffee in the removable stainless steel brew tank for precise preparation. temperature (185 degrees F.) for up to 4 hours. KRUPS explains it more scientifically, but essentially, there are two heating elements: one heats the inside and the other heats the outside of the tank. You can brew up to 12 cups of coffee in the machine and it dispenses the amount of coffee you choose (it’s fully programmable for cup size, height, auto brew times, etc.) in a straight, splash-free flow. If you’re like me, you end up with grounds and spills on your countertop when using traditional automatic drip coffee makers, so I find this particular feature very appealing. The machine also tells you how long it’s been since the coffee was brewed, which is important to me as a coffee enthusiast.

At the end of the day, both single-serve coffee technologies are great for a fresh cup of coffee, but knowing how much money the KRUPS machine saves me, plus being able to brew whatever coffee I want, seals the deal. .

Health!
