We’ve got another post about alternatives to popular brands and this time it’s Keurig! With all of the news about supply chain issues and shipping delays, we want you to be prepared this holiday season with a few backup ideas for your Christmas shopping. We previously covered the KitchenAid Stand Mixer, Instant Pot, and Roomba, as well. If you can’t get your hands on a specific brand, just know there are other comparable brands out there for you to buy.
Our hope is that you have a list of ‘Plan B’ options if your favorite items are hard to buy this year. If you’re hoping to snag a k-cup coffee brewer and can’t find a great deal on a popular Keurig machine, here are our picks for the best Keurig alternatives to consider.

Keurig Alternatives
Keurig coffee makers have been a Black Friday favorite for several years now and we’re sure some of you have this on your Christmas list for at least one friend or family member.
For this post, we’re comparing each of these coffee brewers to the Keurig K-Classic, which is going for around $100 currently ($99.99 at both Target and Amazon). It has a 48-ounce water reservoir and brews 6, 8, and 10-ounce cups.
Just in case you can’t get your hands on a Keurig, here are some quality coffee brewers that you can check out instead.
Cuisinart SS-10P1 Premium Single-Serve Coffeemaker
This is an excellent plan B option for coffee lovers. This brewer has a larger water reservoir than the Keurig and a hot water button for tea or soup. It is also compatible with any coffee pod brand, including Keurig.
Keurig Comparison
| Feature | Keurig | Cuisinart |
| Reservoir Size | 48 oz. | 72 oz. |
| Brew Sizes | 3 | 5 |
| Descale Feature | Yes | No |
| Auto Off | Yes | Yes |
| Color Options | 2 | 5 |
Where to Shop
Most retailers have this in the silver color for $99.99. Amazon technically has the lowest price for the silver colorway at $99.60. There are other color options available closer to the $150 price point.
Mueller Single Serve Pod Compatible Coffee Maker
The water reservoir is the same size in the Mueller brewer as the Keurig, but you do get an additional cup size option when brewing. It is compatible with all coffee pods, but does not have a hot water feature like the Cuisinart above.
Keurig Comparison
| Feature | Keurig | Mueller |
| Reservoir Size | 48 oz. | 48 oz. |
| Brew Sizes | 3 | 4 |
| Descale Feature | Yes | No |
| Auto Off | Yes | Yes |
| Color Options | 2 | 1 |
Where to Shop
Another price low for Amazon, this brewer is $109.47 (beating Walmart’s $109.97), plus there is a $30 coupon you can check before adding it to your cart to drop the price to $79.72 at checkout!
Hamilton Beach FlexBrew Single Serve Maker
I had a Hamilton Beach FlexBrew for years and absolutely loved it. This brewer does have a slightly smaller water reservoir, but I loved that it brewed an 8 or 10-ounce cup or a 14-ounce travel mug! You can choose from a regular or bold brew and it’s compatible with all coffee pods.
Keurig Comparison
| Feature | Keurig | FlexBrew |
| Reservoir Size | 48 oz. | 40 oz. |
| Brew Sizes | 3 | 3 |
| Descale Feature | Yes | No |
| Auto Off | Yes | Yes |
| Color Options | 2 | 1 |
Where to Shop
If you can get your hands on a 20% off coupon (just sign up with a new email address) Bed Bath & Beyond has this brewer for the lowest price at $63.99. Most other retailers have it for $79.99.
Mixpresso Single Serve K-Cup Coffee Maker
The Mixpresso coffee maker can make five different coffee cup sizes and up to six cups without having to refill the water reservoir. The smaller cup sizes take only 30 seconds to brew and it is compatible with all coffee pods, including K-Cup 1.0 and 2.0.
Keurig Comparison
| Feature | Keurig | Mixpresso |
| Reservoir Size | 48 oz. | 45 oz. |
| Brew Sizes | 3 | 5 |
| Descale Feature | Yes | No |
| Auto Off | Yes | Yes |
| Color Options | 2 | 3 |
Where to Shop
You can find this Mixpresso machine in all three colorways at Amazon for $79.99.
Honorable Mention: Hamilton Beach 12-Cup BrewStation
While this coffee maker isn’t the traditional single-cup model, I still think it’s worth mentioning. Instead of brewing one cup at a time, you brew a pot from 2 to 12 cups and it stores the brewed coffee in an internal tank to dispense one cup at a time. This brewer keeps coffee fresh and hot until dispensed but does not brew on a cup-by-cup basis. it also has an iced coffee and a keep warm feature.
Keurig Comparison
| Feature | Keurig | BrewStation |
| Reservoir Size | 48 oz. | 12-cup pot |
| Brew Sizes | 3 | Any |
| Descale Feature | Yes | No |
| Auto Off | Yes | Yes |
| Color Options | 2 | 1 |
Where to Shop
Amazon has this brewer for $54.99. They also have another BrewStation model, that does not have an iced coffee feature, for $39.99 after a $12 coupon which will save you a few bucks if you’re a hot-only coffee drinker.
