Keurig Special Edition B60 Coffee Maker

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 coffee 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. Obliviously, 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, but for 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.

Good luck.

The Keurig B60 Coffee Maker is an excellent addition to anyones kitchen. My wife and I love coffee but we have been cutting down on the amount of coffee we have been drinking. So with our traditional pots we were throwing out half a pot or more a day.

Enter the Keurig and the K-cup system. With this system we can make a single cup of coffee per K-cup and the coffee is incredible! The coffee is on par with some of your high end well known coffee shops!

Maker:

The Keurig has a water reserve on it to store water. This reserve is about 10-12 cups of coffee. The maker has to sizes of coffee cups on it (small/large). You also have the ability to set an on and off time for the system so that it is waiting for you when you get up.

To use the system is easy. You open a small sliding tray and insert a K-cup. You push it back in and hit the button. Tada, coffee. :) Clean up is simple and the coffee brews in under 30 seconds.

K-cups:

The K-cups can be interesting to find. They also can be expensive, if you do not shop around. You can purchase light, dark, medium, flavoured, teas, hot chocolates, and fair roast coffees. Many different types are available! :)

The k-cups have a filter in them and actually brew coffee. They are quick to use and easy to dispose of. You can also purchase a reusable filter for your machine. That way you can put in your own coffee for your use. So if you don't like the flavour of the k-cups that are commercially made you can brew your own coffee.

There are a number of makers and sellers for K-cups. Van Houttee, Green Mountain, Tullys, Second Cup, and many many more! When shopping for k-cups go to these companies web sites and you'll get deals. Also, check at some of your commercial coffee companies that sell to other companies. I found k-cups for sale at one of the ones in my city and they are way cheaper then anywhere else!

Overall:

This is a stylish machine that offers a great fast brew. You can also purchase light, medium, and dark roast coffees. Along with coffees you can get teas and hot chocolates.

This coffeemaker is by far the best. I have owned a basic percolator, a grind & brew and now this. There is no clean-up involved. Low maintainence, fill water resovoir every couple of days. The coffee is a good as fresh brewed anywhere. I no longer am dependant on coffehouses like Starbucks. My home brew is better, faster and doesn't cost $3.50 a cup, morelike $.50 if you include the cup and creamer.
This is the "Best Coffemaker Ever"!

This is by far the best kitchen purchase I have ever made, next to my microwave! The Keurig B60 is the best coffee maker and it's perfect for me. My husband doesn't drink coffee, and I only like about a cup a day, so making an entire pot would be a huge waste. This brewer is so convenient and easy to use, especially for a working mom. There is no mess to clean up and it requires no measuring. Even my 9 year old son enjoys making me a cup of coffee, that's how easy it is to use. It is also very attractive and has this cool blue lighting. I am saving a fortune by not going through Starbuck's drive-thru every morning. The coffee is delicious and always fresh. You never get that "burnt" flavor. There is such a huge variety of flavors of K-cups made by several different companies. I recommend getting a few of the variety boxes so you can sample them to see which are your favorites, and then you can purchase entire boxes of those favorites later. I find myself drinking hot tea in the evenings more often because it is so easy to make! My Keurig is programmable, but I never use that feature because it brews my cup in less than a minute, why would you need to set it up ahead of time?! While you cannot purchase K-cups at most grocery stores, I have found them at Kohl's, Bed Bath & Beyond, Linens-N-Things, E-bay, and of course on the Keurig website and the different websites of the coffee manufacturers that produce the K-cups for the brewer. Don't worry about the expiration dates on the K-cups. I have brewed several that were past their dates, and they were just as delicious as when they were brand new. I got hooked on this machine at the clinic where I had my lasik surgery, and then another patient informed me that she went online to search for them because she too was in love with it. She told me that you can buy a "home sized" edition, actually a few different brewers to choose from. My friends and family make fun of me because I won't shut up about my coffee maker, but they don't have one, so they just don't understand!
