Keurig Alta Brewer Review: Brand-New Tech, Classically Good Coffee
This multifaceted home coffee brewer and its new AltaRounds will make you rethink everything you know about Keurig machines.
The new Keurig Alta brewer impressed me with its sleek design, intuitive setup process, and exceptional coffee quality. The four-minute setup and Wi-Fi connectivity were a breeze, and the machine's premium materials, from the metal cup holder to the magnetic whisk, gave it a high-end feel. The standout feature, however, was the innovative AltaRounds, small coffee pucks made from seaweed-derived materials that bloom inside the brewer.
With four flavors currently available, including double-shot espresso, the pucks brew espresso-quality coffee with up to 10 bars of pressure. The machine also features a built-in steam wand with a magnetic whisk, allowing for customizable milk froth options for lattes, cappuccinos, and more. The touchscreen display presents drink suggestions based on the selected AltaRounds, making it easy to create various beverages.
The result is a full-bodied, creamy, and rich coffee experience that rivals in-home espresso machines. While the machine does have a large footprint and weighs 22 pounds, its overall performance and eco-friendly AltaRounds make it a compelling choice for coffee enthusiasts.
