Keurig K Supreme Plus Smart: An In‑Depth Review
The Keurig K Supreme Plus Smart entered the market in July 2021, promising a blend of classic Keurig convenience and modern smart‑home integration. In this article we examine its design, performance, and whether it lives up to the hype for coffee lovers who want a single‑serve brewer that’s both easy to use and connected.
Design and Build Quality
The K Supreme Plus Smart retains Keurig’s signature compact footprint, measuring just under 12 inches wide and 13 inches tall. The exterior is a matte black plastic with brushed metal accents, giving it a sleek, kitchen‑friendly look. The machine features a removable water reservoir (up to 60 oz), a sturdy drip tray, and a bright LCD screen that displays brew settings and Wi‑Fi status.
Smart Features that Set It Apart
What truly differentiates the Keurig K Supreme Plus Smart from earlier models is its Wi‑Fi connectivity. Using the Keurig® App, users can:
- Schedule brews up to 24 hours in advance.
- Receive maintenance alerts when descaling is needed.
- Control brew size, temperature, and strength from a smartphone or voice assistant.
The app also stores favorite recipes, allowing you to replicate the exact brew parameters with a single tap.
Performance and Brew Quality
When it comes to delivering a consistent cup, the K Supreme Plus Smart performs admirably. The machine uses a 15‑bar pressure pump, the same level found in high‑end espresso makers, ensuring a smooth extraction for both light and dark roasts.
Temperature Control
One of the standout upgrades is the adjustable temperature range (155 °F – 210 °F). This lets you fine‑tune the heat for delicate teas or robust coffees, reducing the risk of over‑extraction that can cause bitterness.
Brew Options and Customization
The brewer supports K‑Cup pods in six cup sizes, from 6 oz (mini) to 20 oz (large). With the “Strong Brew” setting, the machine pauses to allow the coffee grounds extra contact time, delivering a richer flavor without the need for extra pods.
