If you’ve spent any amount of time researching single-serve coffee machines, chances are you’ve heard of Keurig. Extremely popular in North America thanks to its vast infrastructure, Keurig coffee machines offer quick and convenient brewing using proprietary K-Cup pods.
If you live in the United Kingdom however, buying a Keurig machine can be difficult. Not only are they hard to find but when you do find them they often come with added costs of importing, and may have compatibility issues.
Fortunately, there are alternatives to Keurig that offer comparable convenience and taste.
In this guide, we’ll look at the best Keurig alternatives for UK residents as well as highlight why the KPod Keurig Compatible Coffee Machine is our recommended choice.
Keurig Alternatives in UK: Why are Keurig Machines So Hard To Find?
As Keurig coffee machines were produced exclusively for the North American market, they haven’t gained the foothold over here that brands like Nespresso and Dolce Gusto have.
Keurig coffee machines can often come with:
- Scarce availability through large retailers
- Increased price due to importing
- Complicated warranty
- Voltage compatibility issues with machines imported from North America
- Lack of pods
So what do you do if you enjoy brewing with K-Cups? Let’s look at what you should consider in a Keurig alternative.
Features to Look For in a Keurig Alternative
Pod Brewing Convenience
The number one feature that draws users to Keurig coffee machines is convenience, just pop in a pod and press a button for hot coffee within minutes.
Variety of Coffee Options
Ideally you’ll want a machine that gives you access to as many coffee blends and roast profiles.
Easy to Use
One-touch brewing, easy clean up, and minimal maintenance are all factors that will make brewing your daily coffee hassle-free.
Small Size
Not everyone has the kitchen counter space for a large coffee machine. It’s nice to have a unit with a small footprint.
Great Taste, Consistently
Look for a coffee machine that delivers great results every time. You shouldn’t have to be a coffee genius to make great-tasting coffee.

KPod vs Other Coffee Pod Machines
KPod vs Nespresso
Whilst Nespresso machines are ideal for espresso-style coffee and smaller cup sizes. The KPod coffee machine focuses on brewing quality traditional coffee in a larger mug that’s better suited for the average coffee drinker in the UK.
KPod vs Dolce Gusto
Similar to Dolce Gusto, KPod gives you coffee shop quality results. However, many Dolce Gusto pods require you to combine two or more pods to create that speciality drink. With KPod we concentrate on brewing delicious black coffee as fast as possible using only one pod.
KPod vs Keurig
Keurig coffee machines often come with high import fees and headaches importing them into the UK from the US. Although you can still use Keurig pods with the KPod machine, you’ll benefit from:
- UK based availability
- Easier access to customer support
- No import fees
- A wide range of coffee pods that are specifically designed to be compatible with the KPod coffee machine.
Final Thoughts
Keurig has become one of the world’s most well-known coffee pod systems. However, if you live in the United Kingdom purchasing and maintaining one can be troublesome.
That doesn’t mean you don’t have options. The KPod Coffee Machine bundle lets you brew with a variety of premium coffee blends.
