A:AnswerIt comes ready to use, although I ran 2 pots of water trough it first. You do not need a pod holder that is personal preference. You can also use your own ground coffee with the removable pod and filter.
A:AnswerHi! No, our Keurig K-Elite is only compatible with K-Cup pods, but it does have a strong brew feature that increases the strength and bold taste of your coffee.
A:AnswerGoogle is your best friend. It shows for the K-Elite model, the dimensions are: 10.5 x 7.5 x 11.1 inches and it weighs 10.6 pounds.
I have a very small kitchen with very little counter space which allows this machine to fit perfectly even while sitting on top of the Keurig metal drawer for the pods that I purchased from Amazon. See attached photo.
