Overview
Keurig's entry-level single-serve pod machine, brewing 6, 8 and 10 ounce cups of coffee, tea, hot cocoa or iced drinks from a 48 ounce reservoir in under a minute.
This is Keurig's base model, not one of the touchscreen or built-in-frother versions, and reviewers treat it that way: simple, quick, and reliable enough that people keep buying replacements when an old one eventually dies. It doesn't do anything beyond brewing K-cups into three cup sizes.
- 48 oz removable water reservoir
- Indicator lights for status
- Programmable auto-off
- Removable drip tray for cleanup
Who it's for
Anyone new to single-serve brewing who wants a basic, dependable Keurig without extra features to learn. Less suited to buyers wanting a frother, a large warming plate, or a machine expected to last many years without replacement.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers consistently called the K50 fast and simple, using it for quick coffee, tea and hot cocoa without complaint. The main gripes were a drippy spout that requires the cup pushed to the edge, and one buyer whose unit repeatedly shut off mid-brew after several months of use.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Brews a cup in under a minute
- Three cup sizes: 6, 8 and 10 oz
- Simple setup, no learning curve
- Works for coffee, tea and cocoa
- Spout can drip if the cup is misaligned
- Some units shut off mid-brew after a few months
- Machines tend to wear out around two years
Performance notes
Water heats fast enough to brew a cup in under a minute, with 6, 8 and 10 ounce size options, indicator lights, and a programmable auto-off. The 48 oz reservoir is removable for refilling at the sink rather than pouring water directly into the machine.
