We all love coffee. Sometimes, there are too many of us that love coffee in one spot, and as a result it becomes a hassle to keep refilling the coffee maker with water every so often. The solution is to get a plumbed coffee maker that has a water line connection!
What are plumbed coffee makers?
Simply put, plumbed coffee makers are coffee makers that have a direct connection to your water line. Now, instead of having to fill up the coffee maker manually, the water line constantly feeds it and keeps it topped up.
If you have a lot of people drinking coffee in one go, it’s useful to have a plumbed coffee maker so you don’t have to keep topping up.
You’ll find plumbed coffee makers in coffee shops and restaurants, as you rarely see anyone using a jug of water to top up their coffee machines!
You could certainly have one at home if you want the convenience – much like plumbed refrigerators.
However, places where plumbed coffee makers really shine are:
Offices
In office spaces, coffee makers with water lines are extremely useful because there’s so many people going to grab coffee and this happens throughout the day.
Instead of running around with water – which is time consuming and can get messy really fast – you can just have a coffee maker that gets a regular supply of water from a direct connection.
Restaurants
If you own a restaurant, you can opt for a coffee maker with a water line as you’ll need to keep up with a steady stream of orders and you want to be as efficient as possible.
Community centers
Community centers also cater to a lot of people at once and if you have a coffee machine here you’ll want a plumbed one for the same reasons as office spaces and restaurants.
Keurig coffee maker with water line
Without a doubt, the best coffee maker with a water line is a Keurig. That’s because they are a great fit for offices and community centers.
Some people(including me sometimes) hate on Keurig for kind of destroying what it means to brew coffee, but there’s no arguing that Keurig coffee makers are incredibly convenient and easy to clean.
For that reason, our favorite kind of plumbed coffee maker is the Keurig B150.
In office, commercial, and community center settings, you want to be able to let people brew coffee as they come and go without having to mess with grounds and grinding as much as possible.
Keurig K-Cups are very easy to use and clean up, and there’s hardly any need to even wipe the machine down after one use for the next person. Plus, they come in huge varieties and sampler packs so there will be something for everyone.
Keurig K150P: Best Keurig coffee maker with water line
The Keurig K150P is an ideal plumbed coffee maker for offices because of its versatility and convenience.
It is capable of brewing a variety of sizes, from 4, 6, 8, 10, or 12 ounces of coffee in a single serving. A full color touch screen lets you control the various options in your brew(such as the temperature, which you can vary by 10 degrees or so), and there is an auto on-off for saving power.
In case you wish to use this as a standalone coffee maker, there is a 90 ounce reservoir – which is plenty of water to last a small office for one day.
You can also hook this up to a water line using the plumbed coffee maker conversion kit.
In case you’re feeling like a polyglot you can also change the language from English to Spanish or French 😉
In addition to the K150P you’ll also need the little water line hookup piece.
The Keurig K150P also comes in another version which does not have the plumbing functionality built in, but you can purchase the plumbing adapter separately. This model is the K150, and it’s still a great machine for small offices:
