Does the K550 take regular K-Cups?

No. It is a Keurig 2.0 machine and reads 2.0 pods; original K-Cups are not accepted.

Can it brew a pot, not just a cup?

Yes. It brews single servings or a four-cup carafe from 2.0 carafe pods.

How much water does the reservoir hold?

2.5 quarts, which is enough for several brews before a refill.

Can I set it to brew at a certain time?

Yes. Brew times are programmable through the touchscreen, and the strength setting adjusts the cup.

Is it good for a small office?

It suits a small office because of the carafe and large tank, but it is bulky and only takes 2.0 pods, so stock those.

Does it need a water filter?

Keurig recommends its water filter to reduce scale, especially in hard-water areas; the filter holder is part of the reservoir setup.

Our take on the Keurig 2.0 K550 Brewing System

The Keurig 2.0 K550 is a large-capacity pod coffee maker with a 2.5-quart reservoir, a color touchscreen, programmable brew times and a strength setting. It brews single cups or a four-cup carafe from Keurig 2.0 pods, which the machine reads to set brew options. It suits households and small offices that want hands-off coffee for several drinkers. Against simpler Keurig models it adds the carafe and a bigger tank, but it is bulky, tied to 2.0 pods and louder than most rivals.
