So, how long does it take? In short: three to four minutes for the first cup, and about a minute for the second. That’s faster than your partner’s shower, slower than a microwave pizza pocket, and exactly the right amount of time to contemplate your existence.
If your Keurig starts taking longer than 5 minutes to heat up, something might be wrong. Check for mineral buildup or a low water level. Otherwise, embrace the wait. Use those 180 seconds to yawn, stretch, and mentally prepare for the day’s nonsense.
And when that little machine finally beeps? You’ve earned it. Now go caffeinate yourself into a functional member of society. Cheers to the glorious, steamy, perfectly flawed ritual that is morning coffee.
