My Cheap Reviews

Very good coffee
I got one of these for Xmas and brought it to my office. I liked it so much we got another one for home! The coffee is very good, and the convenience factor makes up for any issues I have. To save money I make each cup of coffee with one K-Cup used twice -- once on the largest setting and once on the smallest setting. Makes up for not having the largest setting available.

The only real negatives are the noise it makes (not a big problem to me), the cost for K-Cups (look for sales and it'll be cheaper, and it's always cheaper than going to Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks) and the small water reservoir. Other than that I like it a lot for a good cup of coffee and the convenience factor.

However, in the spirit of Macy's from A Miracle on 34th Street, I got it for [...] cheaper at Costco and received an extra 72 K-cups and a gizmo for using with your own coffee grounds. 72 K-cups is about [...] worth of coffee and the gizmo goes for [...] on Amazon. So that's [...] ([...] lower price plus K-cups and gizmo) less than here.

Finally, good coffee!
First, some background: my wife and I have been searching for a good coffee maker since our Delonghi died about 2 years ago. We tried many different brands and styles (everything from Mr. Coffee--yuck!--to Aeropress, which wasn't too bad after a steep learning curve). Brews turned out too weak, burned, watery, plastic-tasting, the list goes on and on. The best we found was an Aeropress single-cup dispenser, which we used until deciding that it was just too much work (mostly the cleanup). In continuing to look for a suitable solution, we had hoped to get away from the single-serving Aeropress, because it took so much time and effort just to fix a cup for each of us in the morning, and going back for refills took almost all the joy out of a morning cup of coffee.

After more than a year of disappointments we had resigned ourselves to paying the extortion-like per cup at the local coffee shop. There had to be a way we could both enjoy coffee for less than per morning! Finally, we saw the reviews for the Keurig, which had high marks similar to the Aeropress, and decided to give single-cup one more chance. Wow, am I glad we did!

The K-cups took almost no adapting, and we were "experts" by the second cup. I must admit that I don't miss the mess and hassle of grinding my own beans! We got some specialty coffees for Christmas, and had no problem using the "My K-cup" adapter included with the brewer.

Cleanup is extremely simple, making multiple servings quick and easy. It takes less than a minute to brew two cups and clean up (as simple as removing and throwing away the used K-cup). Note, however, that there is considerably more cleanup if you use the "My K-cup" adapter--similar to cleaning the filter from a drip coffee maker. Still, it isn't a big deal to us, especially as rarely as we use the adapter.

The coffee strength and flavor is what really sold us on the Keurig. We were able to "test" the machine at Costco on demo day, and were hooked from the first taste. I prefer extra bold, and my wife enjoys medium blends, so using a single-serving brewer is perfect to suit both our tastes. We have found that using the large cup setting (you can select small 8 oz, medium 10 oz, or large 12 oz cups) brews coffee that is too weak for either of our tastes, so we typically use the medium cup setting, which brews a perfect cup.

While some have said that the K-cups are expensive, we have been able to buy them in bulk for less than (asin:B000AQSMPO).50 each, which seems like a bargain to us. There are many blends and brands available, including Tully's (our favorite).

We have yet to find a downside to the brewer, after 8 weeks of use.

Fantastic brewer! My parents love it! Fast, easy, great coffee!
My father LOVES coffee, but he hates making a pot for just him or for him and my mom. I searched, read reviews until I decided on this one for him for Christmas. I purchased this Keurig along with the extra filter A MUST!..(It makes it possible to use your own coffee), k-cup holder, and boxes of decaf k-cups. They LOVE IT!! It was a hit on Christmas with everyone but my parents tell me they now have a perfectly brewed cup of coffee for in the morning, before bed...any time in seconds! It's extremely easy to use and built very well. I also liked the feature of this model that you could use different size coffee mugs/cups.

Best Ever!
I've had this for a few months now, and absolutely LOVE it! It's convient, fast, easy to use and makes the same wonderful cup of coffee every time! The bottom is removable, so my 15 oz. travel cup fits perfectly underneath. I don't like super strong coffee, so I use the same k-cup twice to fill my travel cup (using the middle brew setting). I love that you can use this for coffee, tea or hot chocolate. I also like the fact that I can use this machine for hot water for packets of hot chocolate. Great product!

Great and easy coffee and tea!
I received my B60 for Christmas and I am very pleased with how well it works. It is so easy and there are so many varieties of coffee to try, that it is a winner.

I've also tried the tea varieties and this is a good way to make a fast cup of tea.

I recommend this coffee maker and going to the Keurig site to buy samples of teas and coffees before buying a lot of any flavor. I did not do that and one of the lemon tea brands is too lemony. Keurig also includes an 18 cup variety pack, so make a few of them and discover what flavors are to your liking.

The brewer allows you to experiment with the size cup you make. Use this to vary the strength of your tea and coffee. It also has a water temperature control. I recommend keeping it on the hottest - as it is not too hot. If you like really hot coffee, this is sort of a drawback.

I recommend the Keuring B60 if you like real coffee instead of instant but can't be bothered making a full pot just for yourself.
