Similarities and Differences between Keurig k150 vs k155

Physical Features

As the first Keurig commercial coffee brewing machine, Keurig K-150 looks very elegant and smart. It suits the office environment and catches the attraction of almost everyone.

While Keurig K-150 and K-155 are almost alike, they come in different colors. Keurig K-155 comes in an eye-catchy combination of silver and black. On the other hand, the Keurig K-150 comes in a deep grey and black combination. Both of these machines are great in terms of design.

Moving to the functionalities we see, Both of these machines are almost identical and have similar features. Both devices offer touch screen controls, auto on/off features, brew size control, quiet brew technology, brew temperature control, multi-language support, and time control. So, it’s a draw in the features section.

Brew Quality

As a renowned brand, Keurig did its best to make its commercial coffee machines the best in the market. K-150 is their first OfficePro series coffee maker, and it lacks the quality we expect in commercial coffee machines. The brew quality is fantastic, but Keurig made the water reservoir from cheap quality plastic. So, you will get a plastic taste sometimes.

The Keurig K-155 is the upgraded version of the Keurig K-150 and is considerably better than K-150 in quality. It brews excellent quality coffee with superior blending. And more importantly, coffee brewed by it does not taste like plastic. So, K-155 is the machine if you are finding the best blend of coffee.

Water Reservoir

Water reservoir capacity is a factor you should consider if you are looking for a commercial coffee machine. Because you can’t refill the device every time you use it during office hours.

Both of these coffee brewing machines come with a huge 90 oz detachable water storage. You can prepare up to 18 coffees without the need to refill them. So, both hold the same capacity in the water reservoir section.

Water Filter

All of the commercial series machines from Keurig come with a built-in water filter. This water filter removes any germs and cleans the water before it is used in coffees. As a consequence, you do not need to descale your machines frequently.

Even though you get a water filter with both of these machines, you need to replace the water cartridge after some time. You will get the replacement cartridges at Amazon.

Serving sizes

Keurig K-150 can serve five different serving sizes, even after being the first commercial series machine. It can serve in 4,6,8,10 and 12 oz cups. And the number of cups you can serve without refilling depends on your preferred serving size. You can serve at least 7 cups and at most 22 cups.

In contrast, Keurig K-155 can only serve in four different sizes, similar to Keurig’s base models. It can serve in 6,8, 10, and 12 oz cups. Keurig focused on the most needed functions rather than adding more functions. Though K-150 has a slight advantage over K-155 in serving sizes, I still consider this section a draw.

Usability

Are you finding high-functioned yet easy-to-use machines? Well, then, you are in luck. Keurig tries to keep its devices as simple as possible. And these machines are no different.

Both of these machines have an identical interface and similar buttons. They are convenient in terms of usability. Like all other Keurig Machines, You can prepare your coffee by following some easy steps.

But, the Keurig K-155 has an advantage. It supports more than 700 external brands K-Cup, so you can use any k-Cup you like. As a result, you can use eco-friendly K-Cups, which will help to save the environment.
