There was a time when the coffee machines by Keurig® brew with the use of only one button and the touchscreen feature was missing. The settings were very limited, unlike today, wherein you can personalize based on your very specific preference.
Keurig® 2.0 has settings that can vary your coffee temperature, water content, size of the cup, among others. This makes the coffee drinking experience more satisfying.
Consider this your walkthrough on the six Keurig® brew settings, which will help you have a unique coffee drinking experience with every cup. According to the official website, coffee pods by K-Carafe® and K-Vue® can be brewed using settings number 1 and number 4, respectively.
The rest of the settings can be used in preparing other café-style and sophisticated cups of beverages, which includes cocoa for hot chocolate lovers.
