The main places to buy Keurig machines

Keurig machines are sold at most major retailers in the United States, both in stores and online. The largest selection is usually at Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and Walmart — each carries multiple models at different price points. Bed Bath & Beyond, Costco, and Sam's Club stock them as well, though selection varies by location and membership status. Keurig's own website (keurig.com) sells the full range directly and sometimes offers bundle deals or seasonal discounts.

Local appliance stores and some grocery chains also carry Keurig machines, but selection is typically smaller than at big-box retailers. If you want to see a machine in person before buying, Best Buy and Target are reliable options — most have display units you can examine. Walmart and Target let you order online and pick up in-store the same day, which saves shipping time and cost.

Key Takeaways

  • Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and Walmart have the widest selection of Keurig models and usually the most competitive prices.
  • Keurig's official website sometimes offers bundle deals or discounts that you won't find at other retailers.
  • Best Buy and Target let you see machines in person, and both offer same-day pickup if you order online.
  • Costco and Sam's Club carry Keurig machines but require membership, and their selection changes seasonally.
  • Prices vary between retailers, so checking two or three sites before buying can save you $10 to $30.

Price differences between retailers

The same Keurig model often costs different amounts at different stores. A basic K-Cup brewer that costs $79 at one retailer might be $89 at another, or $74 on sale at a third. Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy tend to compete on price, so they frequently match or undercut each other. Target and Keurig's own site are usually in the middle range — not the cheapest, but not the most expensive either.

Costco and Sam's Club sometimes offer lower per-unit prices on Keurig machines, but only if you have a membership. Membership costs $60 to $130 per year depending on the tier, so the savings on a single machine may not justify joining just for that purchase. Check the price at a non-membership retailer first, then compare it to what Costco or Sam's Club is charging before deciding.

What to look for when comparing models online

Keurig makes machines in several categories: basic single-serve brewers, larger capacity models, and machines with extra features like milk frothers or programmable brew times. The cheapest models brew one cup at a time and have no extras — these start around $60 to $80. Mid-range machines ($100 to $150) often include a larger water reservoir or the ability to brew multiple cup sizes. Premium models ($200 and up) add features like built-in milk frothers, touchscreen controls, or compatibility with both K-Cups and ground coffee.

Read the product description carefully to confirm what comes in the box. Some retailers bundle a starter pack of K-Cups or a water filter, while others sell the machine alone. The warranty length varies too — most Keurig machines come with a one-year limited warranty, but some retailers offer extended coverage for an extra fee. Check the return policy before buying, especially if ordering online; most major retailers allow returns within 30 days, but Costco's return window is longer.

Online shopping versus in-store shopping

Buying online is usually faster and gives you access to more models, since warehouses stock more than individual store shelves. Shipping is free or low-cost at most retailers if you spend over a certain amount (usually $25 to $35), though delivery takes three to seven business days. If you need a machine quickly, in-store pickup is faster — Target and Walmart can have your order ready within hours.

Shopping in a store lets you see the machine's size and weight before committing, which matters if you have limited counter space or plan to move it often. You can also ask staff questions about features or warranty coverage on the spot. The trade-off is that store inventory is smaller, so the exact model you want may not be in stock. If you do buy in-store, keep your receipt and ask about the return window — it's usually 30 days, but some stores are stricter during busy seasons.

Seasonal sales and when prices drop

Keurig machines go on sale most often around Black Friday (late November), Cyber Monday (the Monday after Thanksgiving), and Amazon Prime Day (mid-July). Discounts during these events typically range from 10 to 25 percent off the regular price. Back-to-school sales in August and holiday sales in December also feature Keurig deals, though the discounts are usually smaller.

Prices also drop when retailers are clearing out older models to make room for new ones. This happens most often in spring and early fall. If you're not in a hurry, waiting for one of these sales windows can save you $15 to $40 on a mid-range machine. Sign up for price alerts on Amazon or use a tool like CamelCamelCamel to track price history on specific models — this shows you whether a sale price is genuinely low or just average.

Refurbished and open-box machines

Some retailers sell refurbished Keurig machines — units that were returned, tested, and resold with a discount. These typically cost 20 to 30 percent less than new machines and come with a warranty, usually one year. Best Buy, Amazon, and Keurig's official site all sell refurbished models. The risk is small if the warranty is included, but check the warranty length before buying; some refurbished units have shorter coverage than new ones.

Open-box machines are items that were returned unopened or barely used. These are cheaper than refurbished units but usually come with no warranty or a very limited one. Walmart and Best Buy occasionally list open-box Keurig machines at steep discounts (30 to 50 percent off), but availability is unpredictable. If you go this route, inspect the machine thoroughly when it arrives and photograph any damage when ready — return windows for open-box items are often shorter than for new products.

Checking warranty and return policies

All new Keurig machines sold by authorized retailers come with at least a one-year limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. This warranty does not cover normal wear, damage from misuse, or mineral buildup from hard water. The warranty is the same whether you buy from Keurig directly, Amazon, Best Buy, or Walmart — the retailer does not change the coverage.

Return policies vary by retailer. Amazon allows returns within 30 days for most items. Best Buy and Target also offer 30-day returns. Walmart's return window is also 30 days for most products, though some items have different terms. Costco is known for a longer return window — typically 90 days or more. If you are unsure about a purchase, Costco's generous policy makes it a safer choice, even if the upfront price is slightly higher. Always keep your receipt and the original packaging if you think you might return the machine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it cheaper to buy a Keurig machine directly from Keurig's website?

Not always. Keurig's official site sometimes offers bundle deals or seasonal discounts that beat other retailers, but their regular prices are usually the same as or slightly higher than Amazon or Walmart. Check the price at two or three major retailers before ordering from Keurig directly, unless there is a specific bundle or discount advertised on their site.

Can I return a Keurig machine if I buy it at Costco?

Yes. Costco has one of the most generous return policies — you can return most items, including Keurig machines, within 90 days of purchase. Some items have different terms, so check your receipt or ask at the return desk. You will need your membership card and receipt to process the return.

What is the difference between a refurbished Keurig and a new one?

A refurbished machine was returned by a previous buyer, tested to confirm it works, and resold at a discount. It functions the same as a new machine and comes with a warranty, usually one year. The main difference is the price — refurbished units cost 20 to 30 percent less. If the warranty is included, the risk is minimal.

Do all retailers charge the same price for the same Keurig model?

No. The same model often costs different amounts at different stores. Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy frequently compete on price, so they are usually cheaper than Target or Keurig's official site. Prices also change based on sales and promotions, so comparing two or three retailers before buying can save you $10 to $30.

Is it worth waiting for a sale to buy a Keurig machine?

If you can wait, yes. Keurig machines go on sale most often around Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Amazon Prime Day, with discounts of 10 to 25 percent. If you need a machine right away, the savings may not be worth the wait. If you have time, setting a price alert on Amazon or checking back in a month or two can save you $15 to $40.
