Keurig K-Cafe Essentials vs Keurig K-Café Single Serve Coffee Maker
Both are Keurig K-Cafe single-serve brewers with a built-in frother and a 2 oz coffee SHOT button, so the core latte and cappuccino routine is the same. The K-Cafe (B) is the fuller machine: four cup sizes, a 60 oz reservoir, hot and cold frothing for iced drinks, and a dishwasher-safe frother. The K-Cafe Essentials (A) is the trimmed version: three cup sizes, a 42 oz reservoir, hot froth only, and a smaller footprint. Owners rate the K-Cafe line around 4.2 out of 5, praising convenience and easy cleanup while noting plastic build and the need to froth milk separately from brewing.
- Choose the K-Cafe Essentials if you want a compact Keurig latte maker for hot drinks only and a smaller reservoir suits your counter and your daily cup count.
- Choose the K-Cafe if you want iced lattes and cappuccinos, a bigger 60 oz reservoir, four cup sizes, and a frother you can put in the dishwasher.
