Keurig K1500 Review: Who is it for?
Keurig K1500 Commercial Coffee Maker
K1500 is a commercial grade Keurig. Its large water tank of 96 ounces make you more cups for each refill. It brew fast and quietly. There is also a strong brew option. Thus, it is great choice for small scale commercial uses for up to 15 persons.
What I like about the Keurig K1500 Commercial Coffee Maker
1. Huge water tank of 96 ounces.
Keurig K1500 has the largest water tank of all Keurig models. I hate to refill every now and then. So it’s good to have a huge water tank.
But what I like most is the design of the water tank. It is located by the side and it is removable. So it’s easy to take it out to refill the water.
Such a large water tank is going to be heavy when it is completely topped up. So I really like the handle at the top of the water tank which provide me easy grip on the tank.
The tank is also transparent and so it is easy to view the water level within. There is also a low level water indicator to inform you when the tank requires refill.
2. Easy way to drain internal water tank
I travel a lot. Sometimes, I can be away for weeks. So when I return, I want my coffee maker to be drained of stale water.
It can be a hassle to drain the internal hot water tank . And it’s great to know that K1500 comes with a drainable internal hot water tank. Thus, draining water, especially when it’s hot, from the internal tank is easy.
3. Fast and Quiet Brewing
I like that way Keurig K-1500 operates. It brews a K-cup really fast in just under 1 minute.
And I love the smart start feature. This means that when I power on the coffee machine, I can select my brew cup size and do other chores. I don’t have to wait for the water to be heated up before I can make the selection. The smart start feature will heat, then brew the coffee in one process after I hit the cup size.
It’s also nice that it comes with the Keurig Quiet Brew technology which enables it to brew with minimal noise. Yes, my family are light sleepers!
4. Strong brew option
Not every Keurig model has this option. In those Keurig models, the way to get a more intense coffee is to choose a smaller cup size.
That also means you have less coffee. If you like to drink a certain amount of coffee without compromising on the intensity, you will love this strong brew option too.
5. High Altitude Option
For those who stay at higher altitudes, you may face some difficulties with making coffee due to the lower boiling point.
K1500 is a Keurig with high altitude option. This means you can use it at places as high as 5000 feet.

Cons of Keurig K1500
Not connected to water line
K1500 may have a very large water tank. However, it still requires refilling the water tank once in a while. Filling the water tank right from the sink would mean moving a heavy full water tank from the sink to the coffee maker. Otherwise it means a few trips to pour jugs of water from the sink to fill a water tank of this size. If this is not what you would like to deal with, Keurig K2500 with a plumbed water line is worth considering.
Should I buy the Keurig K1500 Commercial Coffee Maker?
If you like the convenience of having a large water tank, Keurig K1500 has the largest water tank of all the Keurig models. In addition, it brews really fast and it can brew quietly. This is a good option for the office where you will have high volume usage and quiet operation is most desired to avoid disturbing your colleagues. It is also good for the home use, especially when you have light sleepers in your family.
Hope this Keurig K1500 review has helped you to make a decision.
