Are you considering a shiny new coffee machine for your home or office but can’t decide on a traditional twelve-cup coffee pot or a Keurig?

We’re here to help you make that decision! We’ve broken it down for you to easily decide which coffee apparatus will be the perfect fit for your needs!


Traditional Coffee Pot + Beans

  • Control over quantity and quality of beans, allowing for stronger taste
  • One pot can accommodate twelve people with ease
  • When grinding your own beans, it can be difficult to mimic your favourite coffee shop flavour
  • Takes longer to brew, but the end result is full-bodied and aromatic!
  • Traditional coffee machines are cheaper than most Keurig models
  • Ground coffee beans are cheaper than K-cups and you can get more coffee for your buck
  • Coffee filters and beans are compostable
  • Coffee pots take up a bit more space, including a grinder, filters and beans
  • Allows you to control everything about your coffee

Keurig + K-Cups

  • Takes the guesswork out of how much coffee grounds are needed per cup
  • Allows for a variety of flavours per cup, not limiting staff to one flavour
  • Your favourite coffee shops, like Starbucks, offer their own K-cups portioned to taste like the original
  • Have your coffee in under a minute for those quick coffee breaks!
  • Can cost up to four times more than traditional coffee pots
  • Though more expensive, it saves time which can sometimes be more important than the cost!
  • K-cups are recyclable 
  • Most Keurig models are compact and can fit almost any workspace countertop
  • Almost impossible to brew a bad cup of coffee
 

There are many pros to each machine for different reasons, it all depends on the speed and quality that you’re requiring from a coffee machine. For very fast-paced environments, a Keurig is almost essential, but traditional coffee machines can offer a cafe-style quality that is unmatched.
