Keurig K-Elite Coffee Maker vs Keurig K-Classic Coffee Maker

Buy the K-Elite if you want a bigger reservoir, five brew sizes, iced coffee, hot water on demand and programmable temperature. Buy the K-Classic if you want the simplest, most compact Keurig for plain everyday pods. The Elite has the better build with metal details and a water filter; the Classic is mostly plastic and some owners say it feels lighter than the original Classic. Both rate 4.3 out of 5, and owners of both praise fast, easy brewing.

• Choose the Keurig K-Elite if you brew several cups a day, want iced coffee and hot water, or like setting brew temperature and brew strength.
• Choose the Keurig K-Classic if you want a no-frills pod brewer with three brew sizes and a small footprint.
