You can see that comparison in the video embedded below. It doesn’t feel too wide or too deep like some of the other machines they make.įor instance the K-Compact has nice proportions but the water reservoir is cumbersome to remove, refill, and replace while the K-Slim is very deep (albeit skinny) making it stick out really far on a countertop while also making it hard to refill with the reservoir placed in the back.īefore we talk much more about the Express Essentials, I wanted to show you a full video comparison I made of the K-Slim to the K-Compact. I particularly like how the K-Express uses the fixed place k-cup holder, allows for the use of the Universal My K-Cup, has a side mounted water reservoir and takes up minimal depth and width on a countertop. Styling of the K-Compact Essentials is similar to both the K-Slim and the K-Supreme so one might look at it as a stripped down K-Supreme…but I see more as a better version of the K-Slim.Īs for performance I feel like it does really well just like many other Walmart Essentials brews like the K-Latté and K-Duo Essentials, both of which I find to be great values compared to their premium counterparts. The Older Style (K-Compact) vs The Newer Style (K-Slim & K-Express) ► Difference Between K-Compact, K-Classic, and K-Select Make sure to see these related comparisons for more context on the other brewers these machines compete with: The Shortest Review of the K-Express On YouTube This link will take you to the style differences of the three machines lower on this page. Now with that out of the way I want to show you my brief video review of the K-Express. It also happens to be the cheapest of all three most of the time. URGENT UPDATE 2 – The best price I’m currently seeing for the K-Compact right now is right here, typically much lower than Amazon pricing too.Īlso, the K-Express can only be purchased at Walmart. URGENT UPDATE – Although the K-Slim isn’t my favorite of these three, pricing for this unit is usually really low right here. You can see my thoughts on all of the best Keurigs here if you like otherwise check out the following link(s) to see my recommendations for where to buy the K-Express or the K-Compact. None of these machines are on my best list but the K-Express is featured on my best value list. I have a full page on this site where I list my favorite Keurig machines from the premium, value, and entry level categories. The K-Express brews for a full minute and at a higher brew temperature making it the best option of the three. Although the K-Compact can make a cup of coffee in well under one minute the Slim and Express give you longer water to grind contact time. Only the K-Slim offers a 12-ounce cup size while the K-Compact and K-Express offer a 6-ounce option. In my opinion though it is basically an upgrade to the K-Slim (better design) instead of a replacement to the K-Compact…and they all have a similarly small price tag.Īll three brewers feature a removable 36-oz water reservoir, a single needle, and three cup sizes to choose from. It’s kind of like a cross between the K-Compact and the K-Slim in that it’s also a small reservoir style brewer having just a few buttons on it to push but it uses the newer instant heat water line instead of the internal heating chamber. It is part of the Keurig Essentials product line because it only features the basics of what is needed to brew K-cup coffee. In the Spring of 2021 Keurig released a new design, the K-Express, which is available only at Walmart. The Keurig K-Compact which was released in 2018 is the most basic entry level reservoir-style brewer available and I think it’s a better value buy then the K-Slim which was released in 2020.īoth units fall under the reservoir-style brewer category, unlike the K-Minis which are “water-in-water-out” style brewers, and the Compact still uses an internal heating tank to heat the water up just like the older style Keurigs did.
