From Macchiatos to Pumpkin Spice Lattes,
Keurig's Newest Connected Brewer Creates Delicious Coffeehouse
Beverages from your Kitchen Counter
BURLINGTON, Mass. and FRISCO, Texas, Sept. 8,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Keurig Dr Pepper
(NASDAQ: KDP) today introduced the K-Café® SMART, the
newest brewer in Keurig's connected line. The new brewer allows
consumers to create delicious coffeehouse drinks right from home –
the majority of which can be made in three minutes or less. The
K-Café SMART is accompanied by an expanded Keurig mobile app which
houses over 70 exclusive coffeehouse recipes from which consumers
can choose to brew their desired drink.
The new K-Café SMART features Keurig's BrewID™ technology, which
detects the K-Cup® pod in the brewer and unlocks tailored
coffeehouse drink recipe recommendations to explore through the
newly revamped Keurig mobile app. Beyond customizable recipes,
BrewID delivers distinctively delicious, full-flavored coffee by
recognizing the specific brand and roast of each K-Cup pod and
automatically customizing the brew settings to the recommendations
of the coffee roasting expert who created it.
The new brewer also includes an upgraded built-in milk frother
that now features three speeds. This enables users to make rich,
delicious froth from a wide range of milk options, including
non-dairy, as well as the ability to make cold froth for brew over
ice café-style beverages. Additionally, the K-Café SMART features
Keurig's MultiStream Technology™, which uses five streams of water
instead of one concentrated stream to thoroughly saturate the
coffee grounds more evenly throughout the pod for full flavor and
aroma in every cup.
"The K-Café SMART takes customization to a new level. It
goes well beyond black coffee, enabling café style creations like
London Fog Lattes and Cinnamon Macchiatos," said Mauricio Leyva, Group President, at Keurig Dr
Pepper. "With the K-Café SMART, coffee lovers can craft the
specialty drinks they crave and discover new favorite recipes
simply by connecting to the Keurig app. With over 70 recipes to
choose from, we know our consumers will be delighted to taste and
trial all the new coffeehouse beverages they can make from the
comfort of their home."
The K-Café SMART connects to the Keurig® mobile app to
unlock these additional features:
- Café Creations: Browse through more than 70
easy-to-follow coffeehouse drink recipes, including exclusive
recipes made just for Keurig mobile app and K-Café SMART users, the
majority of which can be made in three minutes or less
- Barista Mode™: A step-by-step, guided process with
visual demonstrations for crafting coffeehouse beverages at home
with zero coffee expertise required
- Increased Discovery: BrewID helps users discover and
craft new coffeehouse beverages with tailored drink recommendations
based on their existing coffee preferences
- Coffee Expert Knowledge: Detailed descriptions that
explain what makes each coffeehouse drink unique so users will
never confuse a cappuccino with an americano again
- SMART Delivery: Consumption-based subscription program
that ensures users always have a perfectly stocked coffee pantry
while enjoying a 25% discount on every order
- Connected Convenience: Save favorite brew settings and
coffeehouse beverage recipes, schedule a brew in advance, or brew
remotely. Users can even brew from bed the moment they wake up,
knowing their coffeehouse drink will be ready for them
At an MSRP of $249.99, the
K-Café SMART is available exclusively on Keurig.com with
plans for expansion into retailers nationwide this fall.
Further expanding its SMART portfolio, the company also
announced the launch of the K-Supreme® SMART. It features
BrewID technology to power coffee expert recommended brew settings
for full-flavor and aroma in every cup and pairs with the Keurig
mobile app for a fully connected experience. It is available today
