Design
Design-wise, it features a sleek design that is more on the modern side. This is mostly due to the bright LCD control panel. It’s a good-looking appliance that should belong in most kitchens. First of all, it’s doesn’t weigh more than 12 pounds and it measures 13″ by 10.3″ by 13.8″, so you can definitely place it wherever you choose without worrying that it may take up a lot of space.
The most important component of the machine is also the one that grabs our attention, namely the 72-ounce water reservoir that is located to the left of the unit. Keep in mind that it is available in 3 styles: the Platinum, the Mocha, and the Midnight Black versions, so feel free to choose the one that will go best with the overall decor of the kitchen.
Besides the water reservoir and control panel, it features a drip tray that is specially designed to catch excess water or coffee, leaving your countertop clean. The only drawback related to the design of the unit is the fact that it’s entirely made of plastic, so it’s not as sturdy or durable as other coffee makers that have metal components.

Brewing Type
This machine uses K-cups, which makes it very practical and versatile. The best part of owning a model that uses K-cups is the fact that you can choose from a variety of hot beverages. We like that you can customize your drinks by using one of the four buttons that are situated on the front of the unit.
It will automatically adjust to ensure that you get the best results, regardless of what beverage you choose to make. You can also choose the cup size, between a small 4-ounce cup to a 12-ounce mug. However, what you need to know is that the size of the K-cup can’t be changed. So, if you are planning to make a 4-ounce cup you will automatically get a bold and strong coffee taste while brewing a large cup of 12-ounce you will get a weaker strength.
Performance & Features
Once it heats the water, it is capable of brewing a coffee in 45 to 50 seconds while using the default settings. If you are a coffee lover that enjoys serving more than one cup of coffee per day, having a coffee maker that is able to brew a cup of coffee that is rich in flavor is extremely important. This is where the machine may come as a disappointment.
Most customers didn’t have a pleasant experience while making coffee with it, many of them have said that it brews a bitter and watery-tasting coffee, but for your average cup of coffee it is not that bad. It all comes down to individual preference. To make a single cup of coffee, simply use the control panel to choose the cup size and power on the device.

Ease of Use
As we’ve mentioned earlier, it is very easy to use. All that you have to do is to place the K-cup of your choice, fill the water reservoir, choose the cup size and hit the brew button. The coffee will be ready in just a couple of minutes. The cleaning process is relatively simple. It requires you to wash every component of the machine with some water and soap or use a clean damp cloth to wipe away the stains from the exterior.

Warranty & Support
One last thing that you must keep in mind in regard to it is that it comes with a limited one-year warranty. The warranty is pretty standard, but there are also many models that come with 2-year or even 3-year warranties, so the small warranty can come as a disappointment. If you want to learn more about the warranty trial, don’t hesitate to contact the manufacturer via phone or e-mail. You can find more details on their official homepage, as well as user manuals, FAQs, and much more.
Conclusion
Woefully, there have been customer complaints in regards to the slightly bitter taste of the coffee made with the Keurig K75 Platinum, so it’s not all perfect with the machine. However, this isn’t necessarily something to let influence your opinion too much as it is a matter of personal taste, after all. What it a certainty, however, is the fact that it comes at an affordable price and that it takes very little time to brew java with it. Combine these upsides with its sleek look, and you have a coffee-making appliance that it’s hard to say no to.
