As a gift, the wife bought me Keurig’s Gourmet Single-Cup Home Brewing System. The Special Edition B60 to be more precise. Why did she buy it for me? Well she knew full well I would never even consider buying a coffee maker over $100 on my own. Why would I? My Mr. Coffee Maker for $25 has served me well. Only rich fools would buy themselves such an expensive coffee maker, right?

Well, now that this handsome coffee maker sits in my kitchen…I’ll never go back to my old coffee maker. The machine is always ready to brew me a cup of coffee within one minute since it constantly keeps a couple cups of water steaming hot. All you do is slip in one of these K-Cups filled with coffee (basically coffee grains in a disposable plastic cup), place your cup next to the brewing system, hit the button, and your done. The one touch brewing system allows for three cup sizes, tea cup, coffee cup, and travel mug. The coffee maker doesn’t quite fill up my travel mug, but given the variety of travel mug sizes I can see why it’s not going to fill every single travel mug out there perfectly.

My Keurig included a variety of 18 K-Cups. The coffee was all good, but surprisingly I found that I also liked the K-Cups filled with tea (would that be called a T-Cup?). For the first time in my life, I’m a tea lover. However, I found that it was just as easy to use a regular tea bags to brew my tea with the Keurig than one of the K-Cups. The B60 has the ability to just fill your cup with hot water instantly into a cup allowing for an easy cup of tea or hot chocolate in seconds. I’ve heard some complaints that the coffee coming out of the K-Cups is a little weak. I suppose this is all a matter of taste, but since I don’t drink the darkest coffee out there…it’s perfect for my taste buds.

My Keurig B60 also includes a back-lit LCD panel, programmable on/off, brew temperature control (the default is a little too hot for my wife), digital clock, 48 oz. water reservoir, and as I mentioned before, 18 K-Cup Variety pack. If you order one, consider ordering the Keurig B60 through our associated Amazon store.
