Overview

The Keurig K-Cafe C is a single serve K-Cup brewer with a dishwasher-safe milk frother built in, so it makes regular coffee, lattes and cappuccinos from any K-Cup pod, finished in a nickel colored housing.

The brewing side gets consistent praise, but the frother is the part several long-term owners single out as the weak link, with multiple separate purchases failing anywhere from about seven months to a couple of years in. It's worth deciding whether you'll use the frother often enough to accept that risk.

  • Brews coffee, lattes and cappuccinos
  • Dishwasher-safe milk frother
  • Works with any K-Cup pod
  • Nickel finish with metal handle and drip tray

Who it's for

This suits coffee drinkers who want one machine for everyday K-Cup coffee plus occasional lattes or cappuccinos made with real milk. It's a weaker choice for anyone who only drinks black coffee, since the frother is the part reviewers most often report failing.

What buyers say

From Amazon customer reviews.

Owners consistently praise the brewing quality and say the frother is easy to use once you get the hang of it, working well with almond and soy milk, but a recurring complaint across multiple purchases is the frother failing within seven months to a couple of years while the rest of the machine keeps working.
