The Keurig K-pod has been around for many years. However, with the recent upgrade to Keurig 2.0 technology, Keurig has come up with a new line of Keurig 2.0 Brewers. With this development, Keurig introduce 2 new types of pods, the K-Mug and the K-Carafe pods, to cater to those who wish to have a large cup sizes.
Why is there a need for such Large Keurig Carafe Pods?
Making coffee with the standard K-cup has been a convenient affair. However, there was a need in the market to combine the convenience of using pods with making more coffee at a time. The market wanted Keurig large pods! Hence, the K-Carafe pods was introduced.
This Keurig Carafe capsules can make you 30 ounces of coffee at a time. That’s enough for a family of 4 coffee lovers.
How to differentiate Keurig K Carafe Pods from other Keurig Pods?
The mug icon tells you that this is a K-carafe
The Keurig 2.0 pods will have a icon of a carafe on top of the lid to tell you whether it is a K-cup, a K-Mug or a K-carafe .
Is Keurig Carafe Pods Compatible with Keurig Classic Series Brewers?
No. It is only compatible with the Keurig 2.0 Series brewers such as the Keurig K250 and Keurig K575.
These coffee makers has the Keurig 2.0 brewing technology to read the lid for the K pod inserted to determine If it is a single-serve cup or carafe.
Classic brewers such as K15 Mini, K-select, K-classic, K-elite, K-café will not be able to use them since they do not have this technology
