Keurig K155 Office Pro Single Cup Commercial K-Cup Pod Coffee Maker, Silver

Don't turn up your nose at the Keurig brewer. It can make decent coffee quickly and you can use your own ground coffee if you want to reduce waste. This brewer looks large but it really is not much bigger than the lesser Keurigs. It is a heavy machine, about 18 pounds. It's mass may be why it is so much quieter than any other Keurig brewer I have tried. The construction is a level above the residential models. The brew chamber operates smoothly and there is an extra pressure plate in the brew head that stabilizes the pod while being clamped. What I enjoy about this machine is its simplicity. I don't have to puzzle over an array of push buttons, most of which I don't care about but require my attention for every brew. Many complain about the lack of 12 oz size which I don't lament at all. That's the size you would select if you want a weak and bitter cup of coffee. There just is not enough coffee in a k-cup to make a decent 12 oz cuppa Joe. I use 8oz exclusively and since that is always the default size all I have to do is press "Brew" after I close the lid. From start of drip to last burst of air it takes about 50 seconds to extract a cup. This speed should ensure a poor cup of coffee but, surpisingly, in the Keurig system it works. Perhaps the slight pressurization of the hot water makes up for the short brew time, I don't really know. I do know the quality pods I use taste great. My favorite brand so far is Peet's. If you use the cheapest, most stale bargain pods you can find you will make awful coffee. I often use the 4oz size without a pod to preheat a cup and to get the brew compartment warmed up and cleaned. In fact, I use the 4oz rinse a lot because a clean machine is important to good coffee. This extra fussiness is not required but I am, by nature, a fussy person. I had tried the Keurig K-1500 and it has no 4oz size among other failings. (I found it to be very noisy and slow to heat. It also can't brew a second cup quickly, it has to heat up again.) I thought the K-1500 would be a cheaper and newer alternative to the older K-155 but it is miles away. Excellent aspects of the K-155 is that you can adjust the temperature within a 10 degree range. My test with an accurate thermometer shows the settings to be accurate. This amazes me because I see many review videos of other Kurig brewers where the temperature never even gets to 180. Keurig nailed the temp adjustment on this machine. I like that I can set the on and off times for the machine. It is ready for me in the morning and it obediently goes off at night. I drink coffee or want hot water all day so I don't use the 2-hour auto off function. I have two complaints. The first is that there is no backup for the time setting. If you momentarily use power the clock shuts down and so does the on/off setting and the auto off if you are using that one. How hard could it have been to include a button cell battery and a simple circuit to keep the clock alive? Very disappointing and annoying. My only other annoyance is the silly display. The little movie is repetitive and conveys information nobody was asking for. Why can't we choose to shut that down or suppress it. Both of these gripes are petty and not of much consequence. This brewer will give you your money's worth in decent quality hot coffee. My previous brewers have had fairly short lives and I am hoping this one will last.Oh, on a side note let me talk about using your own coffee. Keurig's left and right hands apparent do not communicate with each other. Keurig says you can't use a "my k-cup" in this brewer and that they don't sell one. That is only partially true. Keurig used to make a gray-colored my k-cup with a screw top. That has disappeared years ago and I can attest that it does not fit and that you really can't find them to buy anymore unless you go to the used market. So what does work. Amazingly the newer models works. These are the black ones with the big dot on the lid and the single hole in the middle. Just pop out the pod adapter and drop this in after being sure to remove the extra 2.0 device attached to the bottom. I'll attach a photo of the one I use. Keurig has just discontinued this item and replaced it with a 5-hole top version. This one also works with K-155 but Keurig does not seem to know that. There is a valve mechanism in the lid that closes off the 4 extra holes. Be aware that you must remove the pod receptacle in the head to drop a my-kcup. I see so many complaints from folks saying these don't fit and they include photos of it sitting atop the pod adapter. So, yeah, it won't fit if you can't read instructions. Thank you!

I had been a Tassimo user since 2005. My first machine lasted 7 years, and I loved the coffee. After the first machine died (it just stopped turning on), I immediately purchased another.Over the years, it's become increasingly harder to get pods for the Tassimo, especially the Extra Bold line. I didn't want to be limited to only getting refills on Amazon, and also being limited to a very small variety of brands and flavors. I decided it was time for a change.Like many, I was initially unimpressed with Keurig. The machines seemed cheap, and many reviews have said that they only last for a year with daily use. I always found the Green Mountain brand pods to be exceptionally bitter, and the machines never produced really hot water (if you add cream/milk it will be luke-warm). Perhaps my views are jaded from bad experiences in the past, but I knew I wanted to get a commercial quality brewer and that's how I found the K155.Fast forward to today. I've been using the K155 for two weeks now and absolutely love it. It's heavy and seems to be built to take abuse. It holds 90oz of water, which reduces the frequency of refilling. There's about a 3 minute warm-up time in the mornings, but subsequent cups will be much faster.Using the machine is dead simple - just put in a pod, select your cup size, and hit brew. If you just want hot water, you can press brew without a pod inserted and the machine will dispense it.As for the coffee, it's been very good! Keurig includes a 12-pod variety pack with the brewer, and I've also purchased some more at the supermarket. I love the McDonalds McCafe French Roast - it's an incredibly smooth dark roast that is delicious with cream. My girlfriend loves the Donut Shop, which is a medium roast akin to Dunkin Donuts. For flavored coffee, the Cinnabon Cinnamon Roll is surprisingly good. For decafe, I've only tried Donut Shop so far, which I was also pleasantly surprised by.I'm not a huge fan of the design. It's very "industrial" looking. While it has a large color LCD, it displays random pictures of coffee beans while brewing. I would have preferred a status bar like my second Tassimo had. But I can get past these minor gripes due to the fact that it makes good, hot coffee with a humongous assortment of varieties.I definitely recommend the K155 if you take your morning caffeination ritual seriously.

Amazing. Much better then a regular kerig. Have had this for over three years. Still works great. Haven't desclaled once. Me and my bf found out there's a pretty built in filter unlike other kerigs so that's probably the reason why. Must buy of you need a fast reliable coffee machine that's not too expensive and will last a while!

UPDATE: first let me report that the plastic smell reported in my initial review dissipated after several days and I was able to use the machine for a couple of day. Also, I installed the plumbed water tank just now. Fits perfectly and after running a lot of water through it I can report it works great.Just received a Keurig K155 coffee maker today. Ran 10 ounces of plain water through it twice, then brewed a K-cup. It tasted like plastic and had a very strong plastic smell. I ran ten more 10 ounce cups to try to kill the smell but to no avail. I filled the reservoir and plan to empty and refill it tomorrow morning and try another cup of coffee. I have one of those plumbed reservoirs on order, so hopefully that won’t have odor problem. I got the K-155 to replace a plumbed K-150 which shorted out when I turned it on last week. It lasted 5 years. Not great given the cost, but good enough that I was willing to try another Keurig in spite of the 9% one star reviews. I will update this review if I can solve the smell problem. I think I may be the only reviewer with this issue.
