Strong Button on keurig: What does it do?

So, what exactly does the strong button do on Keurig? This article will help answer that question and help you get the most out of your Keurig.

The strong button on the Keurig makes the process of brewing your coffee a little longer. This makes your coffee taste stronger. The amount of caffeine does not change since it is the same amount of coffee you would use without pressing the strong option.

By allowing the brew to be long it means that there is more time for diffusion of the coffee which results in that rich strong taste.

Strong Button Not Working

It is possible to find your strong button unresponsive in some instances. This is not a train smash. When you see this happen it means that you have placed the K cup inside the K cup holder b It is always advisable to insert the K cup inside the holder when the machine is powered on.

Soon after you insert the K cup you must close the mechanism. Thereafter the cup sizes light up. You can then press the strong button then choose your cup size.

“Iced” Button

The keurig comes with another button that has a similar effect to that of the “strong” button. It is the “iced” button. Making your iced coffee the regular way without using the “iced” button may compromise the quality of your coffee. You may end up with weak tasting coffee.

For a nice iced coffee the taste has to be strong. The instruction manual comes with the instructions on how to make iced coffee. For the sake of convenience I will add the instructions here as well.

You will need a tumbler, ice and a K-cup of your favourite coffee. In the manual the instructions read as follows: For iced beverages, fill a 1oz tumbler with ice. Insert any K cup pod and press the iced button. You may want to remove the drip tray before placing your tumbler under the drip.

Most tumblers are generally taller than regular coffee cups so they may not fit with the tray in place. Different coffees come with different caffeine levels and that contributes to the strength of the coffee.

Below I will list some of the strongest coffees in terms of caffeine levels. We already discussed in the previous passages that the strong button gives you a stronger taste but does not change the caffeine levels.
