Keurig machines are known to be coffee brewers for home use. But did you know there are Keurig coffee makers that have been designed for commercial use?

Keurig Commercial vs. Home: Should You Buy a Commercial Use Keurig Instead of a Home Use One?
If you’re a home user, buying a commercial-grade Keurig makes sense if you have a large household and need the extra large water reservoir or direct water line plumping.
Keurig sells Commercial use brewers for just that intent, which means, Keurig might not honor their warranty if a home use used a commercial brewer. So, it is highly recommended that:
- If you plan on using a Keurig for service in an office or business, get a commercial use that is designed to withhold the demands of high usage. That would be any Keurig brewer labelled Commercial (which we listed above).
- If you’re using a Keurig at home, then it is recommended that you get a home-use brewer so you don’t end up breaking your warranty. There are large capacity home brewers like the Keurig 2.0 K575.
Another important thing to keep in mind is, most commercial grade Keurigs are not compatible with refillable K-Cup filters, which is something the home user loves to use.
