Keurig 2.0 Carafe Brewing System Review and How to Use ANY K-Cup

Everyone loves to brew a single cup of coffee with their Keurig Brewing system, but now you can also brew a whole carafe which holds between two to five cups of coffee! This new product is perfect for families or parties!

When you need to make more than two cups of coffee, the Keurig can actually become inconvenient; when it was created for convenience. Keurig has solved this problem by creating a new brewing system that will now brew more coffee at once.

The unit is very reasonably priced, as well! You can purchase a Keurig 2.0 K500 from Walmart for just $169 and free shipping. Best Buy currently has the unit at full price $199 but you may be able to catch it on sale. Amazon has the Keurig 2.0 K550 for the cheapest price: $155. Check the current sale price by clicking any of the links below.

CLICK HERE to read another hub that I recently wrote about the nine K-Carafe flavors that are currently available on the market.

• Keurig 2.0 K350 - Holds 60 oz water - Retails for $149
• Keurig 2.0 K450 - Holds 70 oz water - Retails for $169
• Keurig 2.0 K550 - Holds 80 oz water - Retails for $199

The carafe, which comes with all three units, holds up to 32 ounces of coffee.

The Keurig 2.0 is the first coffee brewer model that is designed to read the lid of each K-Cup or K-Carafe. Some may be unhappy about that change, but according to Keurig this ensures that the machine makes the perfect beverage every time.

With this new Keurig 2.0, you can brew up to a 5-cup carafe with the same ease and convenience of brewing a single-serve cup. Models are available with up to an 80 ounce water reservoir, 2.8" color display, and a strength control setting for making a bolder cup of coffee.

Now, a separate setting is available for hot cocoa and other specialty beverages such as lattes and mochas. A customizable night light gives you the convenience of hot water on demand. Over 250 varieties of Keurig coffee, tea, and specialty beverages, including ice tea are available for use in this machine.

To use official Keurig K-Cups, look for the Keurig Brewed seal on the top of your K-Cup and also on the packaging. Most units arrive with the Keurig Carafe and a variety of K-Cup and K-Carafe packs to get you started. CLICK HERE to shop for K-Carafes on Amazon.

The new Keurig 2.0 will only work with Keurig branded K-Cups because of the sensor inside of the unit. However, a few people on youtube have found a way around this annoyance. Follow the in depth instructions in the video to the right to be able to use any K-Cup or Vue-Cup in your Keurig 2.0; not just the Keurig branded K-Cups.

According to the video to the right, you can cut out the top of the Keurig K-Cup and then tape it strategically to the inside of the Keurig 2.0 over the sensor in order to be able to use any K-Cup or Vue-Cup. Make sure that you cut around the Keurig wording which is what the sensor reads. The brew spout also must not be covered by the K-Cup top.
