Summary: 5 Stars
I have to admit that I've become a bit of a coffee snob in my middle age. I enjoy interesting blends and exotic mixes. I love the aroma and flavor, but mostly I love that first cup in the morning. That's actually why I started researching single-cup brewing; I was experiencing disappointment with all the cups after that first cup. I'd even started a weekly trip to the drive-thru of the local corporate coffee monster to get a truly fresh cup on my way to work. I don't drink coffee all day; I usually only have two to three cups, but after the first cup with my old brewer....sigh...something was missing.
My research lead me to the Keurig brand. I discovered that Keurig has a great assortment of coffees (many fair trade, even Newman's Own, a company I love to support). Keurig also has great teas (including my all time favorite: Sleepytime). The price of the coffee maker startled me initially, but when I added up the cost of my drive-thru habit, I was able to work my way thru the feelings of excess.
The B40 Elite is super simple to use. The coffee is ready in 30 seconds! I like the auto-off feature for weekdays; on weekends I leave the machine turned on for afternoon coffee or tea. The Keurig does have a very loud water pump, but it's a good reminder that the coffee's done when I'm a bit blurry in the mornings
Some of the coffees in the variety pack that came with my Keurig seem a tad weak, so I'll just order the bold or rich varieties. I've actually used the k-cup for some of those stronger blends twice (I like to experiment), and they seemed adequate in a crunch. To supplement the offered k-cups with some grinds not (yet) available in pre-made k-cups, I purchased the 'My k-cup' accessory; I highly recommend it. The Keurig has a rather large footprint, but it's artfully made, so I can live with that.
Bottom line? I love this machine. I won't go back to a 'traditional' brewer. I guess the folks at the drive thru will miss me...
