** Big Pine Key @ VGF has Cuisinart flat pod machines for some unknown reason
Deluxe Villas - SSR, OKW, AKL-K - regular coffee makers - 4 cup basket in studios, 8 cup basket in larger villas (some OKW grand villas may have Keurig Duos)
Deluxe Villas - AKL-J - conflicting reports, some rooms have old style basket coffee makers, some have Keurigs (sorry, I have no idea which are the majority)
Deluxe Villas - CCV - currently in process of soft goods refurb until Sept 2025, refurbed rooms have Keurigs similar to other recently refurbed villas (rooms that haven’t been refurbed yet will still have basket style)
Deluxe Villas - RIV - most rooms have old style basket coffee makers, Tower Studios have Keurigs
Deluxe Villas - BLT - so far, reports seem to indicate that all of the new rooms have Keurig Duos, including studios (non-refurbed rooms may still have an older basket style)

*** at any resort where at least some rooms have Keurig machines (either regular or Duo) you can always ask for a Keurig from housekeeping and if they have a spare they’ll bring you one
*** the same applies if you need a larger or smaller basket style coffee maker, or if you have a single Keurig and need a Duo

Deluxe - Keurig single-cup machines
** Big Pine Key @ GF still has Cuisinart flat pod machines

Are you still getting reports of flat pods at Grand Floridian Big Pine Key? The Grand Floridian rooms have had the Keurig k-cups for many years. DVC rooms have never had the flat pods. I think someone sent a picture of the flat pod machine, but could it have been an exception instead of the rule?

I haven’t seen any reports from sooner than 2 months ago, but at that point it was still the flat pod coffee makers like in the values and moderates. If you look at the room tour videos online, those machines appear in all of them. No idea why, but there it is.

Our last day at GFV Big Pine Key was March 29th, and they still had the flat pod machines.

I'd originally planned to request a Keurig, but I stuck with the flat pods and the machine provided in the room. They were just ok, a little weak for my liking, but it did the job.

Stayed in Big Pine Key 3 times. Right after they opened in the lake view or water view or whatever it's called now. Had a Keurig.

Next, had the flat pods in a standard view (now called resort view). Third visit with family, resort view again with the flat pods.

Much prefer the Keurig Duo.

If I'm not mistaken, Saratoga Springs recently went through updates. After that, are the 1 BR Villas still drip coffee makers?

The SSR updates were during/just after Covid. So they still have regular drip pots, not the nice new duos.

As CarolynFH said, still drip pots as far as reports go. We’re at SSR in early June, though, so I’ll pop back and confirm then.

Thanks, we're headed down on Saturday. I'm going to pack some filters and ground coffee, just to make sure I have enough for the week.

This is excellent information! We are headed to BCV this weekend. Thank you for posting!

SSR still the old-style drip pots, at least in the Paddock one-bdrm villas…

Well, I like a good size cup of coffee.

I find in a Keurig the 6 oz setting comes out pretty good, when you move to the 8 oz it's weak coffee and when you go to the 12oz setting, which is the one I want, it really is just brown water.

Agree! I do two 6 oz brews to make it stronger!

Hi! So I just saw some pictures of a refurbished Copper Creek Villa, and it looks like they’re providing a new style Keurig Duo!

I like those front buttons better than the other Duo version where they are on the top of the single serve side.
