I LOVE mine, would make a great holiday gift! I'll NEVER go back to a regular brewer again. No, I'm not a spokesperson, just thrilled with the product

 

1. Fresh cup every time, no burnt coffee sitting in the pot for an hour.

2. Over 200 varieties of coffee "k-cups" to choose from

3. Its left on all the time, so it never has any warm up time, it takes under 10 seconds to brew a cup.

4. Awesome for parties, everyone can pick what strength / flavor / decaf / regular etc they want.

5. No clean up, just throw out the used k-cup when you are done, no more messy filters.

6. No more measuring grinds, brews a perfect cup every time!

 

I have this one...the platinum...

we love ours Chad, my wife is crazy over that things. Just wish it was a little quieter tho.

Mine is SUPER quiet...I had the elite model at first, it was a little noisy so I traded up for the platinum. The newer ones have "whisper quiet technology" lol...I guess they were getting complaints of the noise. But mine I hear absolutely nothing at all except the coffee flowing into the cup.

 

I'm sending you a PM.

does it make tea?

hot choclate?

 

yes it does just went to the site..

Yes Tony, there are a bunch of different teas available, bigelow, celestial seasonings, timothy's, and about 6 or 7 different hot chocolate k-cups available. The machine can also be used to just give you a hot cup of plain water if you want to "steep" for a long time using a bag or ball. There is also a thing called "my k-cup holder" which will allow you to grind your own coffee and put the grinds into the holder to bypass the k-cups. Oh, and the platinum has a iced tea setting also, just brew over ice...this can be used for iced coffee too...but you can do that with any of the keurig brewers.

 

Here is a 8 page pdf of all the different k-cups available. There are a few new ones that are not on the list....but you'll get the idea.

I do not drink coffee but my wife does. I was at a friends last month and he had one and everybody was picking out what kind of coffee they wanted. It looked pretty cool. If it is on all the time, isn't it using a lot of electricity to keep the water "hot" and ready to go? Sounds like a very expensive cup of coffee to me?

They say it uses less than a traditional coffee maker because it just maintains the temp instead of the initial draw of heating a cold or room temp maker. But who knows You certainly don't have to leave it on all the time, it is what the manufacturer recommends tho.

I was going to get one until I looked at the price of the K-cups. I'm good for a lot of coffee per day. It's much better for my needs to by the beans and grind them daily using a decanter to keep the coffee warm.

 

We had an industrial size one in the law firm and the coffeee is good. but expensive.

Yeah, that is a drawback. It comes out to be about $0.50 a cup. But, if you can't stand stale coffee (for me its more than 30 mins old) and you are always dumping out pots it does pay to only brew one cup at a time. Not to mention, if you go to starbucks or dunkin donuts the keurig will for sure save you money. I was going to wawa every morning for coffee, but now I just make it at home.

I have a Saeco Via Veneto coffee express, I like the Italian espresso and cappuccino.

I take my coffee serious got a bunn 17 for coffee and a breville espresso maker 2 singles or 1 double Id give coffee up at home for espresso .the worst thing about espresso at home is its better than 99% of espresso out you cant beat lavazza in the gold can.Ive had customers give me coffee from the keurig unit and it was very good

My wife has had 3 different Keurig machines and they all seem to break. After a while, the amount of coffee dispensed trickles down to a small amount, or the brew button stops working...last week , the plastic water pitcher part melted and deformed in the dish washer......Im also a bit worried about the whole hot water& plastic thing. They say that chemicals from the plastic can be released when in contact with hot water....seems to make a good cup of coffee however...

I saw one on TV today. I am a simple guy, Maxwell House and Mr Coffee.

 

But I am not opposed to a Xmas gift with a years supply of coffee Chad. :mrgreen:

Which would you rather have from Chad, a coffee maker, or a gun?

Chad's gun of course

ohhh ok, just making sure

 

Chad which gun are you letting me take home on tuesday?

I have a special shooter, just for you.

I could totally take this terribly but I won't stoop to that level.

 

Bring some fun guns on tuesday, and plenty of ammo, since your sponsoring me

:text-offtopic:

you are always dumping out pots

 

I'm the same way but my Cuisinart has a vacuum decanter that keeps it hot but doesn't burn as it isn't on any heat after the initial brew. The ten cup pot in reality is about five cups for me.

 

At work we had the industrial BUNN machine but the coffee does burn after a short time and gets tossed. With ten or fifteen k-cups a day it would be as expensive as a smoking habit. Now they have aout 20 people using K-cups during the day shift. Add to take anyone who comes in for business is always offered coffee. The little boxes don't cut it any longer. Thankfully we have a Restaurant Depot that sells it by the carton.

Yeah, the little boxes go pretty quick for me too. Did you guys ever look into a delivery service? I offer free coffee and cookies at the car washes, and we go thru a few cases a week, because I have the cashiers dump it out every 30 mins and make a fresh pot. We also use the vacuum decanters, there is nothing worse than giving out free coffee and its stale. I use a service to come in every week and see what we need and place the order, the coffee is MUCH cheaper, and I get free machines (for my house too lol), racks, decanters, and all accessories as long as you buy the coffee from them. If you want, I can get you their number.

I got one for my birthday a few months back after my Presto unit took a poo. I too found that i would never drink more than a half pot just for myself and brewing less than that seems to lead to weak flavor. I was hesitant because i like good coffee's and will usually order beans online from a roaster rather than buy in the store and wasn't sure if the k-kups would be too stale or weak. While there are some that are kinda meh in flavor, there seems to be some on the bold side that i have found to be enjoyable. Single cup brewing is perfect for me and cleanup is a snap. I even got the special basket for brewing with your own grounds so i can enjoy my own beans as well.

Yes, there are definitely some k-cups that are quite weak....they are the "light" roasts. I'm pretty picky with coffee too, and I have a large travel mug so a light roast brewed at the large setting tastes like flavored water! I tend to stick to the bold cups...green mountain roasters double black diamond, or coffee people's jet fuel is a very good cup and both are great on the large setting. Once in a blue moon I'll have a flavored cup, although we are running out of cabinet space because of all the boxes of k-cups I have! lol And that my k-cup is great if you grind your own. My "outlaws", more specifically mother in law, :roll: only wants her folgers, so I got those round one cup pods that are their own filter and remove the screen from the my k-cup, throw the pod in there and it brews perfectly. Hmmmm, now that I'm thinking about it, I wonder if they make a cyanide k-cup just for her? :?

 

I've never had a k-cup that was stale, they stay very fresh in their little cups, if you look closely on the side of the cup there is a "freshness date" stamped on it.

for commercial type applications there is a product called FilterFresh which makes a fresh cup each time. The coffee filter looks like a roll of toilet paper. It was acceptable way back when I first saw it. I don't know that I would compare it to a Kcup but it's more cost effective, especially for something like a commercial office or a PD.

I offer free coffee and cookies at the car washes

 

My car dealers do the same thing. They have the commercial unit and it save them the clean up chore.

 

Our law firm still has the Filter Fresh type machine. I looked into one for the PD and found they were extremely expensive. No way Purchasing was letting me buy a two thousand dollar coffee maker. Plus they required much more of a cleanup them the cup style and offered

Saw this on slickdeals and thought of you guys:

I'm going to my local "wash it yourself" carwash later today. they do not provide coffee. Actually, they aren't even manned. Unfortunatly NJ is too far of a ride for a coffee.

I LOVE mine, would make a great holiday gift! I'll NEVER go back to a regular brewer again. No, I'm not a spokesperson, just thrilled with the product

 

Got one for Christmas and it's great! Perfect for making just a single cup of coffee. So quick -- just takes a couple of seconds to brew a cup, and it makes some great tasting coffee.

 

You can make your own "k-cups" also, to save money.

I so desperately want one. I think it will lead to drinking more coffee though
