K-Cups® mean you don’t have to measure out coffee or tea to make your hot beverages. Now it's even more convenient. With Keurig® SMART brewers, you can connect to Alexa® and brew your morning drink with simple voice commands.

Just say, “Alexa, ask Keurig to brew me a 12-ounce cup of coffee.” It’s as easy as ordering at a café.

And don’t be intimidated by the setup process. At Asurion, our smart appliance experts have helped countless people breeze through setting up their devices. Follow this guide on how to connect your Keurig to Alexa and troubleshoot possible issues.

Connect your Keurig to Alexa

Once you have your Alexa-enabled Keurig out of the box and plugged in, you can set up the connection to Alexa. Follow these steps:

1. Download the Keurig app on your smartphone.
2. Create a Keurig account or sign in on the app.
3. Choose Settings > Connect your brewer > Get Started.
4. Follow the prompts to connect your Keurig to Wi-Fi. Make sure you use the 2.4 GHz band.
5. Go back to Settings in the Keurig app.
6. Select My Account > Voice Control.
7. Choose Amazon Alexa and follow the prompts on screen to log in to your Amazon account. Link your Alexa and your Keurig.
8. Download and open the Amazon Alexa app on your phone. Sign in to your account.
9. Choose More > Skills & Games.
10. Search for “Keurig” and select Keurig: Alexa Skills.
11. Choose Enable to Use.
12. Sign in to your Keurig account with the same email and password you use for the Keurig app.
13. The app may ask to discover devices and find your Keurig brewer. If not, go to Devices.
14. Tap + > Add Device > Coffee Maker. Follow the on-screen prompts to connect to your Keurig brewer.

Once you sign in to Keurig on the Alexa app and find your device, you should be ready to use Alexa to control your brewer. This can be one of the best Alexa skills for people who want to simplify their mornings. Try voice commands like:

• “Alexa, ask Keurig to turn on my brewer.”
• “Alexa, ask Keurig to brew me a 10-ounce hot chocolate.”
• “Alexa, ask Keurig to brew over ice.”
• “Alexa, good morning.” (If you have a customized Alexa morning routine that includes your Keurig machine.)

Make sure your phone, Keurig, and Alexa are all connected to the same Wi-Fi network—otherwise, the pairing may fail. Sharing your home network info on a QR code can help you manage your Wi-Fi credentials to ensure a quicker setup process.

Fix common Keurig and Alexa connection problems

If you complete the setup process for your Keurig that's compatible with Alexa but are still having trouble, don’t worry. There’s often an easy fix for Alexa skills not working with Keurig.

For a Keurig that’s not appearing in the Alexa app, double-check that both devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Specifically, connect to the 2.4 GHz band of your Wi-Fi network. The 5 GHz band, which typically has 5G in its name, is fast but often not compatible with these smart appliances.

If the Alexa Keurig skill isn't working, try disabling and re-enabling it in the Alexa app. Try these troubleshooting measures, too:

• Moving your Keurig and Alexa devices closer to your Wi-Fi router for a stronger connection.
• Signing out and back into your Amazon and Keurig accounts on both apps.
• Restarting the Alexa app and manually adding your Keurig as a new device.

Make sure you put Alexa in pairing mode when searching for your Keurig brewer.

Use Alexa to control your Keurig

Generally, you can use Alexa to control most functions on your Keurig. You can turn the brewer on and off and instruct Alexa to have your Keurig brew specific drinks. For example, you can have Alexa tell your Keurig to brew a 4-ounce cup of coffee with a simple voice command.

Try setting up a morning routine in the Alexa app, too. The routine could be to power on your Keurig and start brewing a coffee. Then all you need to say is, “Good morning, Alexa,” for Alexa to cue up your first cup of the day.
