Glance on the Keurig K145 Office Pro
Here, we will be having a thorough look on the Keurig K145 which was built keeping offices and commercial places in mind.
Design and Features
Most of the Keurig machines look a lot similar to each other and can be called as brothers or sisters of each other. The brand inherits the same look to every machine as the design is practical and a very successful one. The left side of machine is the large 48 oz water reservoir to handle multiple uses at once. The control panel can be easily absorbed and is very simple to operate too. The machine is described as a “Commercial Grade” brewing system.
The difference between it and the “Home” version brewing systems are: The Office units has heavy duty power cords, and heavy duty pumps whereas most Keurig Home models are now having what is called “Quiet Brew Technology”, and as the name suggests, are much quieter than the Office models. The main reason behind being quieter is that they have smaller/weaker pumps. Many people have complained about them failing prematurely. The K145’s pump is quite loud and can scare your pet but that indicates the stronger pump inside that is going to do the job for you.
