Our verdict

A button-driven pod brewer for a break room or small office, with a large reservoir and four cup sizes. It brews only K-Cup pods and the listing names just the drip tray as included, so plan the rest yourself.

Overview

A removable water tank feeds this pod brewer, which heats and pushes water through a K-Cup pod at the touch of a button. Buttons set the cup size and can boost strength or brew over ice, and the tank lifts off for refilling. The drip tray catches drips under the cup and comes out for cleaning.

What separates this brewer from a kitchen countertop machine is the reservoir size and the fully automatic button cycle, which suits a shared space where several people brew in a row. Quiet Brew Technology softens the noise of that cycle. The limits are the pod format and the short included list: only K-Cup pods work, and nothing beyond the drip tray is stated as in the box.

Who it's for

A workplace, waiting room or shop where people brew single cups through the day and want the tank to last several rounds. Someone who wants to load their own ground coffee or fill a thermal carafe should look elsewhere, because this brewer runs on pods and fills one cup at a time.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Large removable reservoir cuts refill trips
  • Four cup sizes from a button pad
  • Brew Over Ice and STRONG settings built in
  • Quiet Brew Technology lowers brew noise
Cons
  • Brews only K-Cup pods
  • Drip tray is the only listed included item
  • Not dishwasher safe
  • Filter listed as reusable, not a water filter

Performance notes

Cup size and strength come from the button panel, which sets how much water the pump pushes through the pod and how long it dwells there. The removable tank feeds the heater by gravity, so the brewer draws from whatever is in the reservoir rather than a line. Noise during the cycle is managed by the quiet brew system, and the drip tray position sets how tall a mug can stand under the spout.

Frequently asked questions

How much counter space does the Keurig K-1550 need?

The brewer measures 12.1 inches deep, 10.25 inches wide and 12.35 inches tall, and it weighs 10.2 pounds. Leave clearance above it to lift the 96 oz reservoir off for refilling, since the tank comes out rather than staying plumbed in.

Does the K-1550 come with pods or a water filter?

The listing names one included component, the removable drip tray. No pods, no water filter and no other accessories are stated, so budget for K-Cup pods separately and check the reusable filter note against your water.

Can the Keurig K-1550 brew ground coffee or other pod brands?

It is built around K-Cup pods, and the listing names K-Cup as the compatible pod format. It does not brew loose grounds, and it does not take carafes, so each cycle fills a single cup.

Do I need a special outlet for the K-1550?

It runs on 120 volts AC through an AC adapter and draws 1500 watts, so it wants a standard North American outlet that is not shared with other high draw equipment on the same circuit.

Can the drip tray and reservoir go in a dishwasher?

The item is listed as not dishwasher safe. The reservoir is removable and the drip tray pulls out, so both can be washed by hand, but keep them out of the dishwasher.
