Keurig coffee makers for the RV

[suprz]

Just looking for recommendations for the right model of Keurig coffee maker, mostly it will just be me and my wife using it. So which model do you use / recommend?

I thought that I might update My Post from almost a year ago.

As I said I used the K-15 but it was a pain to bring it back and forth from the house each camping trip and I'm frugal (cheap)not wanting to spend a lot to have one just for the RV,I found THIS, half the price works just as well,is smaller,lighter and stores easily.

We have a kuerig K15. Makes one cup at a time with no reservoir, so no need to dump and dry.

X2!
Small footprint and works great. We buy our K-Cups from Amazon San Francisco brand about 46 cents each.

I run mine on an inverter so I use the single cup hotel model, 700w

x2. however, I've found for camping we often end up using the Areopress french press instead of the Keurig. all the advantages of a french press w/o the mess, less space than a Keurig, less cost than K cups.

Since a year old thread has renewed life - here's my opinion. Get a cone filter holder (Melitta, for one). A paper filter, hot water, quality ground coffee, and you have a better cup of coffee than any Keurig could possibly provide. Cheaper (spend the difference on better coffee), more flexible (you can have good coffee with just a campfire), cheaper, and smaller/lighter. You only give up a slight bit of convenience. But if you're camping, so what? Take your time and enjoy better coffee.

"Better" in whose opinion? As has been said, many actually prefer the coffee that comes from a Keurig, so to each his own. Many think Starbucks coffee is great; I prefer the coffee next door at the AM/PM (for half the price). To each his own.

I use a Keurig at home, and a Presto MyJo in the RV. The MyJo is quick (faster than your Melitta), easy, and simple to clean. BTW, in the RV, I use the prepackaged Kcups for the convenience and ease of cleanup (virtually none), but at home I use fresh ground coffee in a reusable Kcup. Again, to each his own.

We also use the K140. I got it for the camper because the tank can be drained. I find that I never use that feature as I use only distilled water in the Keurig, and don't see the need to empty the tank between trips. In the winter, I bring it inside and use it as an additional coffee maker when we have company. (and no, I didn't borrow yours :))

I went with the K200 also, we used to have the single cup but that was limited to small cups, and you had to add water for each cup. the K200 can make the carafe for when the wife and I are both drinking the same coffee or we can do individual as I like my dark roast. also the K200 is on the smaller side so it is still easy to store away. when we are dry camping we use an old fashion stove top percolator.

We use the k15 as well. Works good. We have a bigger one at home with a reservoir.

I would have the K130 as it is just 700 watts. But I am not a coffee drinker. DW drinks premixed iced coffee on the road. Our home Keurig stays at home.

I have my first cup at 5am when i wake up, then one about an hr later. My wife has her cup at about 7am. Then i have my last fix about 7 30ish with breakfast. I like my coffee stronger, my wife likes weaker, niether of us want hours old coffee.

The solution - original Keurig 10 single cup for the Jayco and the bigger Keurig at home.

She gets hers her way, I get mine my way no need to compromise.

Got a K200 for the girlfriend. Run it off the 2000 pure sine with remote and 2 group 31 AMGs. Pulls about 130 amps for a few minutes. 30 minutes later the solar panels have recharged that.
No noise from gen, and "free" power.

I dont drink coffee but it does also make hot chocolate and just hot water for instant soups, etc.
Plus like said, hundreds of different cups with their own flavors for different people.
