Wouldn't this make a great gift for a student, or a commuter? The machine brews right into the thermal travel mug and then shuts itself off, so your favorite coffee lover can simply grab and go!Customer Review: Excellent Personal Coffemaker
As an on-the-go college student, I can say that this is an excellent personal coffemaker! It brews quickly, turns itself off when it is finished, and is easy to clean. I use a paper filter (size 1) inside the mesh basket to make clean-up even easier. The included travel mug is very sturdy. Heating water for instant oatmeal is another good use, but the water isn't hot enough to make good tea, in my opinion. Overall I am very satisfied and would recommend it!
Customer Review: Just Okay...
I'm not sad I bought it, it makes me realize what kind of coffee maker I really need. I drink coffee very irregularly and needed something that would just make me a cup when I felt the need and my dad a cup when he came over. It does the job, but dirties very easy and the top of the machine isn't heavy enough to stop water from leaking out. It does do the job, but my next one will be better made and easier to clean.
All the Keurig coffee maker also make Teas and Hot chocolate along with the coffees, so you need not worry on that aspect. And with the variety of 150+ different K-cups to choose from,and even then if you don't find one for your taste bud add your own coffee, a Keurig coffee maker can just be what you wanted for that perfect cup of coffee for you. But from the different models to choose from based on their technical descriptions of the features describing these models it can be a bit difficult to make up your mind on which model is the right one for you. So if its a Keurig coffee maker model which has caught your attention, here are some details which can be useful in helping you decide the right model for you.
Here are a few questions you need to answer before you make your purchase of your home coffee maker.- How many choices do you need in different cup sizes?
- How many cups of coffee do you need?
- How important is the programmable function for you?
The Keurig Elite B40 has 2 cup sizes to choose from - 7. 25 oz and 9. 25 oz, the Keurig B60 offers you a choice of 3 - 5. 25 oz, 7. 25 oz and 9. 25 oz where as the big brother of these two, the Keurig platinum B70 offers 4 - 5. 25 oz, 7. 25 oz, 9. 25 oz and 11. 25 oz. So if you like a large cup of coffee, a coffee maker which can fill in your cup can be a feature you may like in your machine. Again, if you like your coffee strong, its the smaller size cups that can give you a strong cup of coffee. So the coffee machines with the larger cup size are not what will make a difference for you.
Do you need a larger capacity? The Keurig B40 and the B60 models come with a 48 oz removable reservoir whereas if you need larger capacity water reservoir, go for the Keurig B70 with a 60 oz capacity. So depending on the cup size you choose, the 60 oz will let you have more time and more cups between filling the water reservoir. The B70 can be quite good if you love to entertain aswell, again removes the hard work of filling the water reservoir after every few cups.
The B60 and B70 come with a nice looking programmable LCD screen which can be good feature to have in a machine, as it informs you of quite a few things like when the machine is ready for a brew or when the water reservoir needs filling up. Also, if you like a large cup of coffee, the B60 and B70 even lets you programme and set your default cup size.
These are a few points you might like to consider before making your final purchase.
So if you are looking to buy a Keurig coffee maker do some research and review what the different models have to offer you.
