Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Keurig B70 Gourmet Single-Cup Home Brewing System
Customer Review: The ONLY Single Cup Brewer to OWN!
Summary: 5 Stars
I will make this short and sweet:
A Keurig is a hit at any party, guests love the ability to choose exactly what kind of coffee to have with dessert!
I started with a Senseo a little over two years ago and moved to the Keurig B60 last year. When the B70 came out recently I knew it was time to upgrade. I am very glad I did! This machine is a little quieter than the B60 and the blue LEDs that illuminate the water tank are a nice touch. Add the K-Cup filter and you can brew your favorite ground coffee anytime. No need to worry about the K-Cups not being produced in the future, because if you have the K-Cup filter all you need is some freshly ground coffee and you're ready to go!
Make the right choice and hop on board with the B70 ~ you'll enjoy it!
Customer Review: Easy and Cool In The Kitchen
Summary: 5 Stars
We had been enjoying the whole experience of the Keurig B50, when I got the email and blogsite updates over the past few months that Keurig was promoting a new and improved single-cup brewer. I confess - I coveted this new machine in a big way. So when we were the recipients of a bright shiny new B70 last week on our front stoop, it was very much like Christmas for me. My wife just smiled, and the kids gave out a sincere, "Whoa, that's cool!" at our new kitchen friend.
Everything that we liked about the B50 is there for the B70 - with the addition of larger cup sizes and the overall look and feel. The coffee just tastes good, first and foremost. I've tasted cups from other single-serve brewers, and most of them have been barely more appetizing than generic vending machine drop-the-cup coffee. From my first experience with the Keurig machines, however, I was amazed how good the brew tasted. The home brewers make a great cup of coffee without having to waste a pot, or lose the coffee all over the counter when the previous machine's brew basket got finicky. The additional My K-cup attachments allow for grinding our own beans, too - so as a coffee snob, I'm hooked.
The Platinum B70 adds selection for cup size - right now, I think our best default size is 9.25oz, filling out most travel mugs and our normal in-house mugs well without getting watery on the k-cups we've tried so far. And it has a larger reservoir for water, meaning we can get more coffee for fewer refills in the kitchen sink. All of these things would be enough, right?
But wow, it is just so cool looking. The blue LED lights that make the water glow on the left, and the blue LCD screen on the right that shows the clock, menu, cup selection, and the chrome fixtures - even the spring-loaded holder in the front top of the brewer - all of that combines to make it more than just a good coffee, taking us into the realm of a really cool experience. The kids oooo and aaahhh every time they walk into the evening kitchen, seeing Daddy's glowing blue coffee brewer, just wanting to marvel in its glow.... okay, that's a little too melodramatic, but only slightly.
If you like coffee and spend more than $10 per day, or throw away more than a third of a pot of coffee each morning, or if you enjoy coffee but avoid making it at night because for just one cup that whole pot will go to waste - I think you owe it to yourself to try this brewer out. Not just in the store, but blue and glowing in your own kitchen. Trust me - "Merry Christmas" is a great feeling.
Customer Review: Say Good-Bye to Starbucks...
Summary: 5 Stars
If you love coffee and hate the fuss then buy the B-70.Customer Review: This coffee maker does everything great except one thing
Summary: 1 Stars
This coffeemaker looks great and works well...everything is great except one thing..
it does not make a good cup of coffee.
The coffee is weak...it doesn't matter about the four brew sizes, they all make watered down coffee.....it is more like flavored water....
I tried different types of coffeee, I bought two of the containers where you can brew your own...it all comes out weak....
I really wanted to like this coffeemaker. First, I have lots of other coffeemakers, but liked the idea of fast perfect coffee in the morning with no clean-up....30 seconds after waking up, a fresh brewed coffee,
plus this is the most expensive coffee maker I have purchased....so I wanted to love it... now I don't know what to do with it...its fast and easy...but the coffee is weak...tried green mountain, timothys, others....
i tried to convince myself that the coffee was good, but finally have to admit that it is weak coffee flavored water,
If you don't like this review, then I suggest you spend your $200 plus $20 per 2 boxes of k-cups. After a week, you'll wish you had listened.
Update 12/23/2006....the coffee is okay at the smallest cup size.
Customer Review: Feeling like a child on Christmas morning!
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently purchased the Keurig B-70 Gourmet Single Cup Home Brewing System. The best "toy" I purchased in a long time! It really isn't a toy, however, I now remember the feeling of a child on Christmas morning. Getting up in the morning and chosing the size and blend or flavor of my coffee--and it is not burnt because hubby made it an hour before--priceless.
I did my homework reading reviews and examining the coffee pod varieties on Home Brewing systems for over a year and I am pleased that I waited for this new model to come out. My husband and I have completely enjoyed this brewing system since receiving it a few weeks ago. You get a delicious hot cup of coffee in 45 seconds or less and the convenience of chosing your favoite blend or flavor. If you shop appropriately for coffee pod bargains you can spend as low as .30 per cup--now that is a bargain compared to the favorite coffee shops!
I cannot compare with the other Keurig models, however, I can say that I am thrilled that the B-70 offers the travel mug brew size, as that is the size of my favorite mug at home and I use the "bold" coffee pods for that size cup of coffee. The varieties of coffee available is excellent--the downside, almost floating because we have been trying all the blends and flavors! And don't forget to try the "My K-cup" filter for all of your other favorite coffees.
