Unlike the K-Compact the K-Slim pumps water on demand through a heating tube instead of into a heating tank. When you hit the brew button on the 8-ounce setting it takes around 9-12 seconds for the water to start dripping out of the brew basket into your cup. Because there are no bold settings or strength selectors the 8-oz brew time is the same every time. It takes
about 55 seconds for my K-Slim to go from first drip to shutoff giving you plenty more water-to-grind contact time over the K-Compact. Unfortunately the machine won’t let you brew 6-oz cups sizes and the brew temp is lower too. In my K-Slim I consistently measure coffee in the cup at 173 degrees which is considerably lower than the K-Compact’s 181. Because the brew temp is lower and I can’t brew smaller size cups of coffee I would recommend the K-Compact over this unit most of the time. Related: How Keurig Strength Buttons Work How Fast Does The K-Express Brew Coffee?Because the K-Express doesn’t have an internal heating tank (just like the K-Slim) when you turn the machine on it is ready to go. Water will start flowing through the heating tubes right when you turn the machine on and hit the brew button. When you press the 8-ounce brew button it takes about 9 seconds for the first drip to get to your cup. After the first drip it takes an additional 60 seconds to brew a full 8-oz cup and then the machine turns itself off right away because there is no internal tank to keep warm. I measure coffee in the cup at about 181 degrees on average when I use a pre-heated coffee mug, but the last ounce or so comes out closer to around 170. Even still this machine will consistently brew coffee at a higher temperature than most other K-cup brewers. A Few Questions I Get All The Time Still Not Sure Which Keurig To Buy?These entry level models aren’t the only Keruigs worth looking at, many of the higher end models can usually be purchased with big discounts throughout the year so I recommend looking at a few other higher end models to see if pricing is good enough to upgrade units. Linked below are some other Keruig model reviews and comparisons I have published here on the site for your convenience. ► K-Cup Coffee Maker Reviews What is the difference between Keurig K compact and Keurig K Express?It costs the same amount as the Keurig K-Mini. However, the K-Express offers more thanks to the “Strong Brew” strength enhancer and a multiple cup water reservoir large enough not to need refilling every time you use it. However, despite these extremely useful additions, it's only slightly larger than the K-Mini.
Does the KA: Yes! The K-Express uses all K-Cup pods. It is compatible with the Keurig Tall Handle Water Filter Holder, however, this is sold separately as it's not required for use.
What is the difference between the different Keurig models?Size and speed are the biggest differences between models of Keurig single-serve coffee maker. All of them brew faster than drip, but some of the more powerful models can make a cup in a minute or less, while others take a few minutes. Keurig is constantly innovating and updating its product line.
Does the Keurig Express have an internal water reservoir?Yes, the K-Express Essentials™ coffee maker has a removable water reservoir that holds up to 1.02 L (36 oz) of water.
