The Best Keurig Coffee Maker

I love my Keurig coffee maker! I can have a cup of dark-roast early in the morning, and then my mid-morning light-roast without having to brew two separate pots. Mine will also brew carafes of coffee if needed. The Keurig is the best invention since sliced bread! However, there are a lot of different Keurig models out there. Finding the best Keurig coffee maker can be difficult. We have picked the top 5 Keurig coffee makers and will review them for you below.
