Keurig B70 Gourmet Single-Cup Home Brewing System Reveiws

I tend to research my appliances and electronics rather thoroughly, and after a couple months of reading both professional and consumer opinions around the ‘net on higher-end coffee makers, I decided on the Keurig B70. After owning it for a week, I’m extremely happy with my decision.

The two points that worried me the most with this machine turn out to not really be issues: One was that I would be locked into K-Cups and at the mercy of their pricing and availability, but it’s not so. You can brew your own coffee with this machine, just buy the 10 dollar “My K-Cup” adapter, which is a small two-scoop filter you can place in the machine instead of a K-Cup.

The other sticking point was here and there I’d read people say it made weak coffee, but a ha, this really depends on the type of coffee you’re using and your brewing size option. After trying about 25 different types so far, I have found that the various dark roast and “extra bold” K-Cups are very strong and flavorful, while the medium and light roasts tend to be on the lighter side. From there, you can tweak the strength of your coffee by choosing the brew size. It’s all up to you. Making 7oz. cups of various dark roast blends turns out to be quite a bit stronger and more flavorful than when I used to load up my Mr. Coffee with my own freshly-ground beans.

And that’s where the embarrassment from my review title comes in — I thought I was already making great coffee. I’d pester friends and relatives to try my coffee thinking it was top notch, but I’m tasting so many more subtle flavors and and notes in these various K-Cup blends that it almost seems like I didn’t know what I was doing before. Eek.

So, overall I couldn’t be much more impressed, but two quick notes:

- That panel on the right side of the machine under the LED panel, I thought that might be brushed chrome, and it’s not. It’s plastic.

- If you ask me, the machine ideally makes 7oz. of great tasting coffee per one K-Cup. So if you usually drink coffee from giant mugs or travel mugs, realize you will have to use two K-Cups per fill.

I urge you not to listen to those “coffee aficionados” that are writing about the weakness of the coffee. I have had my coffee maker for a week now, and have tried 8 different blends of coffee, from the light breakfast blends to the the more robust blends. I am using the highest water volume setting, 11.25 ounces. The coffee that comes from this excellent coffee maker is not weak, even at those settings. In fact, everyone who has tried coffee from my maker has commented that the coffee, if anything, is a little strong even at the highest setting. My wife’s company with an office of 25 uses the Keurig machine, at hundreds of cups per month. Many of the guys like the strongest blends, like Dark Magic. Even the ones who like a real strong cup of coffee add a little water to their cups to weaken it. So don’t be hesitant just because of a few picky critics.

Regarding the maker itself, I have to say that it is a thing of beauty to look at. The blue hue with the lights makes it look great, if not a bit gaudy.

It heats up quickly for the next cup. I use the highest temperature setting of 192 degrees F, and that is one hot cup of coffee. Much hotter than I got out of my regular coffee maker. I like the ability to just get hot water out of the machine. You can change the default temperature of the water if you don’t like such a hot cup of coffee that you have to wait to drink.

I love the timer settings. It has an auto off feature that will automatically turn off the maker as early as 1 hour from non-use. It also has a timer to allow you to turn on the coffee maker in the morning and off later in the day. I have mine set for 8 am to go on, and 4 pm to go off.

You can get over 100 types of coffees, including teas and hot chocolate. Also, I recommend getting the optional filter basket/cup where you can use your own coffee to make a cup. It should have been included, but of course they are making all of their money on the coffee. I found two places online where I get the coffee at 40 cents per cup by buying a quantity of about 7 boxes or a 75 buck order. That actually isn’t too much coffee to buy as you will find yourself drawn to the coffee machine to make a quick cup whereas in the past you didn’t want to bother because of the time and mess. Speaking of mess, I have been using mine for a week and I still do not have a single drop of mess, and there is nothing to clean. just pull the used cup and throw it in the garbage. The used cups are well drained when a cup of coffee is made, and there is no leakage.

The only thing I cannot comment on is the durability of the unit. It seems well built, but only time will tell. It sounds like Keuring will stand behind their product if something goes wrong, based upon other reviews.

I just bought a second one of these for home. I went with the top of the line unit because I can get a large cup of coffee from it.
