Water Supply Connection
The Keurig K-2500 is designed for direct water line plumbing. This allows for continuous water supply without the need for manual refilling. For optimal performance and beverage taste, it is recommended to pair plumbed brewers with an Omnipure Water Filter Kit (sold separately).
If direct plumbing is not desired or feasible, an optional 110 oz. water reservoir can be purchased separately and attached to the unit. Refer to the reservoir's specific instructions for installation.
