Got our Keurig...

and I freakin' LOVE it!  If you drink coffee - you need one :)  We actually got it on Thursday last week, so we were able to use it all weekend and I swear it's the best $ we've spent in a long time.  The model we got (B70) has an on/off program so during that length of time you can have coffee whenever you want, if it's after the machine has shut "off" for the day, you just hit a button and it's ready to go in about 4 mins.  There's 5 cup sizes including an "iced" coffee option (which we haven't tried yet) so you're good to go for any size mug you have.  Ours also comes w/ a filter for the water reservoir so you can use tap water and don't have to worry about it affecting the taste of the coffee or it messing with your machine...and it holds 60 ozs., we could go 2 or 3 days w/o having to add more water.  And it's soooo quiet!  I've heard other Keurigs brewing before and while they're not crazy loud or anything, they did have a definite amount of noise associated with them. 

The Cinnamon color we got too is beautiful.  Honestly, what held us back for a long time was the color...which I know sounds odd, but they were only ever avail. in black or the stainless look, neither of which I have in my kitchen.  And if it's something I need to look at everyday, it needs to look good and not be an eyesore.  I have a lot of burgundy accents in my kitchen, and it fits in perfectly :)

Anyway, I highly recommend it!  I know there were a few ladies that commented in my previous post saying they were thinking about getting one, so I just wanted to share another opinion.

Re: Got our Keurig...

  • I'm glad you love it! Our Keurig has made us coffee snobs, haha!

  • So glad to hear you like yours, too!  One question though - can you recycle those K-cups?  With the way Dh and I drink coffee, we'd be going through a lot of those in a week.  I saw that they make a reusable filter.  Has anyone tried that yet?

    I bought the reusable filter but I haven't perfected the amount of coffee grinds in it yet (either too strong or too weak). The filter was about $15 from kohls.

  • Glad you like it! But I still don't get them...I guess that reusable cup makes them more environmental.
  • i want one! you have to help me talk E into it though...
  • Ours also came with the reusable filter thingy, but we haven't used it yet because we're still working our way through the variety pack testing out flavors/varieties.  But I know I will def. use it a lot...I like a few particular brands/flavors that are not available in the k-cups (as far as I know anyway).  I hadn't thought about recycling the k-cups...I just checked them to see if there was a symbol on the bottom, but there isn't.

    DH and I like different things so it was always a compromise in the morning.  I like flavored coffee and a lot of times choose decaf or half-caf over the regular, DH prefers a darker, more bold roast.  Now we both get what we want.  It's great for tea too, like an instant hot water spout...my mom wanted tea when she was over last night, and I just ran a cycle w/o a k-cup and she had her tea super fast.

  • Wow, that sounds awesome!  I dream of the day when I can have coffee every morning again.

  • Okay...that review sealed the deal!  I want to get that model for DH's private office.  It is going to make me want to visit him daily!  I love the idea of the reusable K-cup.  That would make it more economical.

  • We have one at work and I love it. We have a regular one from our wedding registry so I don't want to have to get a coffee pot for awhile. I like that if you have regular coffee you can brew it in the individual cup/filter thingy too. I LOVE pumpkin spice, wild blueberry to name a few.
