Keurig K-Classic Brewer K55 Coffee Maker Machine KClassic Classic

Keurig K-Classic Brewer (K55)

The Keurig K-Classic K55 is the classic, trustworthy coffee maker version that’s an all-around solid machine with minimal issues and smooth operation. This K-55 brewer sports brew cup sizes of 6, 8, and 10 ounce cups. It’s got a standard-sized 48 ounce water tank reservoir which will allow you to brew about 5 cups before refilling. The K-Classic will brew all types of pods (not just licensed 2.0 K-Cups) and will comfortably fit a travel mug on the drip tray.

Does the Keurig K-Classic have a water filter?

Keurig K-Express Essentials Brewer Water Filter Handle Housing Starter Kit
Yes, the Keurig K Classic (K55) brewer fits the Tall Handle Water Filter Holder. This accessory houses the charcoal water filter, which is then placed inside the Keurig  Classic’s water tank reservoir located on the side of the brewer.

What reusable coffee filter fits the K-Classic?

Keurig Reusable Filter Refill Own Ground Coffee Accessory Universal My K-Cup

The K-Classic K-55 coffee machine is compatible with the My K-Cup Universal Reusable Coffee Filter. You can use this accessory to brew your own coffee in the KClassic coffee maker as if you were using a K-Cup pod.

What water filter fits the K-Classic K55 brewer?

Keurig Charcoal Water Filter Cartridge Replacement Install

The Keurig KClassic (K55) brewer uses these Charcoal Water Filter Cartridges. These charcoal filters are designed to be installed inside a water filter holder, which is placed inside the Keurig K-Classic’s side water tank reservoir. Be sure to change your water filter about every 2 months.

Keurig K-Classic K55 vs. K-Select K80 Brewer Differences

The difference between the K-Classic (K55) and the K-Select (K80) brewers is that the K-Classic coffee maker has slightly smaller water reservoir tank (48 ounces instead of 52 ounces). The K-Select allows for brewing 4 cup sizes (6, 8, 10, and 12 ounces) while the K-Classic K55 brewer allows for just 6, 8, and 10 ounce brew cup sizes. The K-Select (K80) coffee machine also allows for Strength Control, whereas the K-Classic K55 version does not.

Is the Keurig K55 K-Classic Coffee Brewer a 2.0 Brewer?

The KClassic brewer model lets you brew any type of single-serve beverage pod you want. You are not limited to using only particular types of “licensed” K-cups. The Keurig Classic is a newer model without this DRM feature, and so you are free to use any standard sized K-cup or third-party single-serve pod.
