What this brewer handles on your counter
- We'd consider this a sensible pick if you drink both hot and iced coffee and want one machine instead of two.
- The 42-ounce removable reservoir brews up to four cups between refills.
- The drip tray comes out to fit travel mugs up to 7 inches tall.
The Keurig K-Iced Coffee Maker is built for one-cup brewing both hot and cold. Its brew-over-ice mode starts hotter to pull flavor from the pod, then cools as it fills your glass, which means less ice melt and a less watery iced coffee.
We'd consider the Strong Brew setting the reason to pick this over a basic single-serve machine, since it brews a more intense hot cup when you want one. You get three cup sizes: 8, 10 and 12 ounces, and for iced drinks that number includes the ice, so a 12-ounce setting assumes part of the volume melts. Our advice is to start with the iced setting rather than guessing at ratios on a hot cycle.
What $70.00 buys you right now
At $70.00, this brewer sits about $21.19 below the typical price over the last 90 days, a saving of around 23 percent.

K-Cup pods are the ongoing cost here. The price per cup shifts with the brand and pack size you choose, so compare that against your usual coffee spend before deciding the machine is a bargain.

Fit, placement and day-to-day upkeep
The removable 42-ounce reservoir lets you brew up to four cups between refills, which suits a desk or a small kitchen where the sink is not right beside the machine. The drip tray comes out to clear space for travel mugs and tumblers up to 7 inches tall, and it can catch a full accidental brew for easier cleanup.
Auto off shuts the brewer down five minutes after your last cup, so it is not sitting warm all day. Plan on the usual rinse of the reservoir, drip tray and pod holder, and check the manual for the descaling schedule your water hardness calls for.
When to leave this one on the shelf
Skip it if you mostly brew for a crowd. This is a single-serve machine, and four cups between refills is the ceiling, not a carafe. If you want to grind and brew your own beans routinely, note that the My K-Cup universal filter is sold separately.
Before checkout, confirm which pod format you already buy and whether the 7-inch clearance under the drip tray fits your tallest tumbler.
