FAQ & User Guide
- Can I brew a K-Cup® pod while a carafe is brewing?
No, you cannot simultaneously brew a single cup and a carafe.
- Does the Keurig® K-Duo® Essentials Single Serve & Carafe coffee maker turn off while using the Pause & Pour feature? What is the Pause & Pour feature?
No, the coffee maker does not turn off while using the Pause & Pour feature. If you remove the carafe to pour a cup, the coffee maker will continue to brew, but the flow of coffee into the carafe will pause for 20 seconds. If you don’t replace the carafe to the heating plate within 20 seconds, the filter basket will overflow. The brew pause is 20 seconds.
- How do I brew a CARAFE?
Fill the water reservoir to the MAX fill line. Make sure the CARAFE is on the heating plate. Lift the filter basket cover up and insert a 12 cup paper filter into the filter basket. Add the desired amount of coffee grounds (1 tablespoon per cup is recommended). Close the filter basket cover completely. Press the POWER button. The POD and CARAFE buttons will blink, select CARAFE.
