A little bit about the design of the K475
We love the good looks of the K475, especially when they are packed in the pearl version of its housing!
Keurig is really all about simplicity, but the design of their coffee makers is always detailed and symmetrical. It’s very nice to see how the water reservoir of the K475 coffee maker wraps itself around the side of the Keurig giving the impression that it is not even there, and it’s such a big tank! We also like the accents on the body of the K475, like the polished look of the drip tray grill and the simple brew button on top of the machine, right next to the color touch display.
Keurig has built its entire business on the principle of simplicity. Oh, does this company know how to turn simplicity into elegance!
A brew size mania
How else would you call a situation where a simple Keurig can brew five cup, three mug, and three carafe sizes? We went for the term ‘brew mania’ because this is honestly a lot offered by one coffee maker.
It doesn’t matter how many Keurig coffee makers we’ve reviewed; it’s not like it’s the first time we’ve seen a Keurig do this. Honestly speaking, though, it’s impressive!
A water tank for lots and lots of water
At 70 ounces, nothing is impossible for the water reservoir of the K475. This reservoir had to match the brew size mania of this coffee maker. Pod after pod, be it one for a cup or a mug of coffee, or maybe even one for a carafe, with this Keurig the coffee fun never stops. And when you reach the 8-cup limit, don’t worry— just refill the tank and you can brew again!
What can you customize on the K475?
We won’t say that you can customize everything on this coffee maker. Still, there are definitely some adjustable options that give the K475 a greater value.
The five levels of temperature that you can choose become more interesting as the weather and your temperature preferences change. Going from warmer to hotter and vice versa can also be a good plan as the day progresses from morning to night. On the other hand, you also have the Strong brew button, great for the caffeine hit right when you feel like it. After all, if your coffee doesn’t reflect your coffee preferences at least a little bit, then it is not a good enough coffee for you.
Outside of the taste, it’s important that the Keurig K475 lets you program it for the time it goes on and off. This Keurig might not have an option for a delayed brew, but, if you set it to turn on at a specific time, you’ll have your coffee maker heated up and ready to brew at the time you want it. The auto-off option, on the other hand, is great for saving energy and for protecting your Keurig from getting damaged after too many hours of being on.
FAQ about the Keurig K475 coffee maker
Is the Keurig K475 compatible with the My K-Cup universal and reusable coffee filter?
Yes, this coffee maker is compatible with the My K-Cup filter. This filter doesn’t come with the coffee maker, however, but you can purchase it as a separate product at an affordable price.
Does this coffee maker make iced coffee?
You can make coffee drinks over ice with any Keurig coffee maker, but, for the best flavor, we recommend you check out the Keurig K-Elite— a coffee maker that has an iced setting and adjusts the brew temperature for a great coffee over ice.
Is there a carafe included with the Keurig K475?
No, there is not. The carafe has to be bought separately.
Conclusion
The Keurig K475 is definitely a beautiful constellation of cool features, looks, and brew sizes to wish for. This is a coffee maker that makes you want to have it, that makes you want to have as much from coffee as you can. It is a coffee maker that’s a winner, a combo pack of pretty much everything you’d want to see in a good brewer. That’s what makes it so popular among Keurig coffee lovers and everyone who loves drip coffee.
