Keurig K-Classic Coffee Maker - What About It?

 

Like all their kitchen appliances, the Keurig K-Classic coffee maker is extremely user-friendly with a ton of useful features. They offer a 2-year guarantee on their coffee maker which shows their confidence in their own product.

While the coffee maker can brew cups of coffee fast, you don't have to wait for the whole 10 minutes to grab a cup of coffee. You can use the Sneak a Cup feature to simply pause the brewing for a few seconds to pour yourself a steaming hot cup. Enjoy the coffee while the rest brews.

There are many pluses and few minuses or rather simple drawbacks that might pause you to think before buying the Keurig K-Classic Coffee Maker. 

There is no permanent coffee filter. You need to buy cupcake paper filters for the machine. While it is very convenient to use to paper filter cups and dispose once the brewing is done, it is an added task that you have to remember to keep paper filter cups handy. 

The warming plate works only as long as the machine is on. So if switches off after 2 hours, the coffee goes cold shortly thereafter. This is another aspect that might annoy those who like their coffee to be hot.

The light indicator at top of the Keurig K-Classic Coffee Maker indicates when the machine is on. As it glow brightly you will know even from a distance about this. 

The tank has a transparent window on the outside which shows how much water is in the tank. It is located to the back and you can look at the level while filling up the tank. The tank or water reservoir located at the back can easily be filled. Fill the tank and brew coffee without causing any messes or spills. 

The way that coffee acts on the brain is due to the action of adenosine on its receptors, aptly named the adenosine receptors. Caffeine and adenosine share structures that are very similar and both belong to a group of compounds known as xanthines. 

Owing to the fact that their structures are closely resembled, caffeine is able to “mimic” the shape of adenosine, and interact with its receptors effectively blocking adenosine from causing its relaxing effects. 

As a result, nerve impulses are transmitted faster, instead of slowing down, at least up to the period that caffeine wears off and releases itself from the receptor. 

There is a growing body of evidence that proves coffee is not detrimental to heart health, and is actually beneficial for the majority of people. If anxiety and palpitations occur from drinking regular coffee, decaffeinated varieties are excellent as they still deliver beneficial effects.

Directly by reducing the risk of heart attack and improving survival after an attack, as well as indirectly by lowering incidence of type 2 diabetes and improved oral hygiene, coffee helps heart patients. But the benefits should be balanced against the dangers of palpitations or anxiety from caffeine.
