I expected to HATE it!
By N P Hoca
Why would anybody want a
huge coffemaker that brews only one cup at a time? I'll
tell why. It's FAST and the coffee tastes GREAT!
I was attempting to be
gracious when I received this Keurig as a Christmas gift
because I have very little kitchen counter space and could
not see any benefit in brewing only one cup at a time.
Since my friend paid a lot of $$ for this, I read the
brochure and began using it for "a couple of days." Well, a
couple of days turned into a couple of weeks, and now a
couple of months.
Perhaps our use of the
machine is a little unconventional. I do get 2+ cups of
coffee out of one K-cup. My daughter uses it to heat water
for soup or tea. It is so fast that it beats the microwave,
PLUS the liquid is just the perfect temperature.
Bottom line is that I
made space for the Kurig and it's used on and off all
day!
Best single-serve coffee
maker out there
By The Mad Hatter
If you're reading this review, you're most likely doing
research and trying to decide between the Keurig line
(B40,B50,B60), the Tassimo, or the Senseo. Out of those
three, the Keurig is the best looking, the most durable,
has the best heating and pumping mechanism, and has the
largest variety of coffees and teas available. The
Tassimo's versatility is tempting, but variety of coffees
is lacking, the machine is a first-run model that does not
feel as quality as the Keurig (I could barely find a piece
of metal in the entire thing), and it cannot be set to warm
itself up like the Keurig. The Senseo isn't bad and I may
even consider getting it as a second machine, but it is
kind of lame how you need two pods to brew an 8 oz cup of
coffee. Considering the price of pods that I was looking
at, it would outprice both the Keurig and the Tassimo for
daily usage.
I love this Coffee
Maker
By L. Larson
Finally, I found the easy - no clean up - fast coffee
maker that I need for my busy lifestyle. The k-pods are
awesome - I use it for coffee and tea, it's so easy. Just
put in the k-pod - push a button and you have your
beverage. Great taste - no fuss - no mess or a chance of an
exploding pod - a great size water reserve and a cool look.
I've bought so many coffee makers over the years and I
finally found a keeper.
One thing - you can't make a pot - but this machine is
ready for the next cup in 30 seconds (fast) and my guest
love choosing their favorite flavor, (there are so many to
choose from) so I haven't missed the pot at all.
Best. Coffeemaker.
Period.
By Dark Knight
I bought a Keurig after reading all of the reviews about
it. I thought to myself, surely this machine has a lot of
hype to live up to.
Not only did it pass the hype test, it did so with
flying colors.
Let me just say that if you are doing research on this
machine, you will discover that people just rave about it.
Review after review say it is worth the investment.
Add this review to that list.
PROS:
It works not just as a coffee maker, there are also tea
K-Cups available and it also can be used to heat water in
less than 20 seconds. So if you have a tea bag and just
want hot water, there is not need to use a kettle.
Ever.
You can buy a filter that allows you to place your own
GROUND beans in the machine and make your favorite coffee
blend.
It is ridiculously easy to use. No paper filters needed.
No grinds in the bottom of the cup. No wasting away of
drinking coffee in the morning.
KEURIG'S CUSTOMER SERVICE ALONE MAKES THIS A BEST BUY.
If you have ANY problems, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week,
Keurig operators are at the ready. I once called then at
midnight because I thought I was having an issue setting up
the machine. The customer service guy (had a Boston accent)
was very nice and answered all my questions. He also
registered the machine (it was a "gift"- to myself :-)), so
there was no need to mail in the warranty card.
The blue LED lights are the best kept secret about this
machine. It is very modern and fits into any kitchen, both
during the day and at night.
CONS:
The K-Cups are hard to find in stores. I have only seen Bed
Bath and Beyond sell K Cups in the store. 18 k-cups for
$10??? That's ridiculous. ENTER AMAZON... They sell 50
K-Cups for $19.00. That is a better deal by FAR. You would
be well to do to buy a coffee variety pack so you can see
which one is the best for you. You don't want to get stuck
with 50 K-cups of a flavor you don't like.
If you are having a group of people over, it's
definitely easier to make a 12-cup batch of coffee. Some
people may not like having to use 12 K-cups (a K-Cup for
each guest). But here's the thing. Every single person will
comment on how good their coffee is. You can then show them
the Keurig, and it's a great conversation piece.
The B60 is a good compromise among the
Keurig models. You can save your money and not spend $30
for a larger water reservoir. So you get a travel mug size
of 11.25(?) oz. in the B70. So what? The 9.etc oz. cup size
is plenty big for most travel mugs once you mix in the
creamer.
Let's be frank. It's expensive. But honestly, the
investment is worth it. Trust the reviews about the
machine. People are more inclined to write a review if they
really love a product or it they really hate a product.
Obviously, people love this machine, and for good
reason.
It is economical to buy this machine if you hate wasting
$2, $3 or $4 at a coffee shop for your coffee in the
morning. The per-cup average is about 40 cents, and in the
long term, this machine pays itself off.
BOTTOM LINE:
If you're reading this review, you obviously care about
what other people think before you spend $100+ on a
freaking coffee maker. Don't worry. I was in your shoes.
But there is a peace of mind that comes along knowing that
you made the right choice. Do as much research as you can
and get as many opinions as you can. But just remember that
thousands of satisfied Keurig customers can't be wrong.
Works a lot better than it
should!
By J. Janssen
I'm a coffee snob, plain and simple. I have a high end
espresso machine, burr grinder, several french presses and
an assortment of drip coffee makers along with a wonderful
vintage vacuum machine. But, on a recent vacation, the
condominium I was staying at came equiped with one of the
Keurig machines and there were a few K-containers of
assorted blends in the cupboard. Expecting nothing more
than ordinary "motel room" coffee, I figured out how to use
the Keurig, fired it up and put in a nondescript K-cup of
"Columbian" and brewed a small cup while I was getting
ready to head out in the morning....I won't say I was
shocked, but I was certainly impressed. That cup was
significantly better than it should have been given the
pre-packaged, pre-ground coffee and the somewhat "gimicky"
appeal of the system. I purchased some additional "k-cups"
that day from a local store and continued to have easy, no
mess morning coffee for the rest of my stay.
When I got back one of the first things I did was
investigate the Keurig and I wound up getting a
B-60 along with several boxes of K-cup
coffees. Is it as good a 100% Blue Mountain in a french
press or Chemix drip maker? No, but it is pretty darn good
coffee, that is consistent from cup to cup with literally
no mess.
Love the coffee and the customer
service
By Coffee Lover in Georgia
I received this coffee maker as a gift for Christmas and
loved it so much I bought a second one for our lake house.
The convenience, selection of coffees available and the
quality of coffee I drink every morning have completely
cured me of my Starbucks habit, much to my husband's
delight.
The other day I dropped and broke the reservoir for my
coffee maker. I called Keurig to ask if I could purchase a
replacement reservoir. After verifying the serial number,
the said they'd send on right out, free of charge. What a
happy surprise!

Great Coffe but machine acts
up after repeated use.
By L.J.
Jimenez
I purchased this machine about 6 months ago,
and it has gotten daily use since that time.Recently, in
the past month or so it has started to "act up". The water
does not warm up, or it only brews a half of a cup.
Sometimes when you push the button, nothing at all
happens.So, what used to be a quick 30 second cup of coffee
haas now become a daily ritual of waiting, praying and
cursing. I would think that for the price of this coffee
maker it would last a littler longer than 6 months without
having difficulties. Oh, and by the way, we are conviently
well out of the 30 day money back guarntee.
Disappointed
By T. Ickes
This fancy-pants coffee maker was a big
disappointment. I bought this for my husband for his
birthday - looking for a great pod coffee system. This
coffee maker isn't it.
He was excited to unwrap his gift - seeing as
how we spotted this machine in Bloomingdales. We loved the
appearance...but the love stopped there.
Sure, it's fast & easy to set-up,
BUT...the coffee quality is poor, no better than instant
coffee. And on the "travel mug" setting, it only fills the
mug about 2/3 full. We tried to brew the same K-cup twice
to get it to fill the mug, but that only made the coffee
taste like hot water. Our plain Mr. Coffee coffee maker
brews better tasting coffee, and fills our mug - no matter
what the size. I guess if it means cleaning out the filter
everyday, it's worth it for better tasting coffee.
Extremely LOUD!
By Thunderstruck
I received the B60 Model for
a anniversary present. The first time I started it up it
was annoyingly loud. I love the coffee that is produced by
this coffee machine. I use one at work (same model) and a
friend has one also. My wife bought the Keurig
coffee maker because I talked about how fresh and
good the coffee was for every cup.
I brought home some Neoprene rubber and put
under the machine with no difference in how loud it was. I
also made the mistake of putting my cup on the drip tray
and walking away. It vibrated so bad that the cup fell off
the drip tray and before I could get back the drip tray was
full of coffee. I know there are good ones out there look
at all the good reviews. It seems there are a few were the
pumps are out of balance or something to that affect.
I am giving three stars since I am the first
one up and the loudness is very disturbing to the rest of
the sleepers in our house.
I would of given 5 stars had it not been loud.
I will make a comment after I call customer service to see
how well they work with me.
Called customer service today. They needed to
listen to the loudness over the phone. So I played along.
All I was told is "to be perfectly honest you might get one
that is exactly the same" Ok, what is that suppose to mean.
I used the one at work today and it is the exact same
model. No problems. Cups don't vibrate off. No loud
vibrating noise.
Great machine, not so great
coffee
By J. Swords
The B60 is a well designed and constructed
single cup coffee maker that makes mediocre tasting coffee.
Buy the Tassimo if you want full-bodied, great tasting
single cup coffee (and cappuccino!). Only consider the
Keurig if you like your coffee to be weak "diner" variety
coffee.
The B60 is probably the most
quiet, well-constructed single cup coffee maker on the
market. I have owned one for over a year and have had no
problems with it. I have used at least six or seven
varieties of coffee in the machine but have never been
satisfied with the coffee taste.
