Our verdict

A plumbed, touch-screen brewer for an office or break room that runs on pods all day. It is not a home machine for someone who wants a small reservoir and a low profile counter footprint.

Overview

Unlike a countertop home brewer, the Keurig 2500 is a commercial single serve machine built to sit on a break room counter and pull water from a line. A plumbed feed or the optional reservoir kit fills the brew head, the touch screen walks a user through a pod, a cup size and a strength choice, and the machine handles the rest. The housing mixes ABS plastic with stainless steel trim, and the whole unit is rated for commercial service.

Commercial duty and a plumbed supply are what set this brewer apart from a home pod machine. The trade is that it wants a water line or the separate reservoir kit, and it only takes K-Cup pods, so a buyer expecting a grinder or loose grounds has the wrong appliance.

Who it's for

A workplace, lobby or staff kitchen that goes through pods all day and can run a water line to the counter. A single home user who wants a compact brewer and a simple tank should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Plumbed supply means no tank refills
  • Touch screen with five cup sizes
  • Strong button boosts flavor
  • Brews hot or cold in under a minute
Cons
  • Reservoir kit for tank use sold separately
  • K-Cup pods only, no loose grounds
  • Not dishwasher safe
  • Warranty terms not listed

Performance notes

Water arrives from the plumbed line or the reservoir kit and is heated by the element, so recovery between cups depends on the supply rather than a tank you fill by hand. The STRONG setting slows the brew through the pod to pull more from the grounds, and the Brew Over Ice path brews hot over ice for cold drinks. Pod choice and cup size, not the machine, set the flavor.

Frequently asked questions

What comes in the box with the Keurig 2500?

The box holds the brewer plus a user manual and a start up guide. It does not include the optional 110 oz reservoir kit, and no pods, water line parts or mounting hardware are listed.

Does the Keurig 2500 need a plumbed water line?

It is set up for a plumbed water source, and a separate 110 oz reservoir kit is the other option. The kit is not part of the included components, so a buyer who cannot plumb the machine has to add it.

Can the Keurig 2500 use ground coffee or a reusable pod?

The compatible input is K-Cup pods, and a reusable filter is listed. No loose ground coffee hopper or grinder is part of the machine, so grounds go in through a pod.

Which cup sizes can the Keurig 2500 brew?

Five sizes are available: 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 oz. The largest cup the machine fills is 12 ounces, and a STRONG button raises the flavor strength at any of those sizes.
