 Disappointed January 3, 2009

Keurig B70 Gourmet Single-Cup Home Brewing System is just a disappointment. It has some nice features but it just doesn't make a strong enough cup of coffee if you choose to make the largest cup. It makes a decent tiny cup.
Using the same size K cup to make a small to xlarge cup just doesn't work. The brewing time is the same, so if it drips more water through the same amount of grounds, how can you get the same strength for the large cup of coffee? I bought the Senseo Supreme and it's great. You can insert 2 pods to make the large cup.
 Absolutely the best!!! January 2, 2009

I received this coffee maker as a Christmas gift and have been using it 2-3 times per day since. It is so quick and easy and makes a perfect cup of coffee every time, provided the coffee itself is a good brew. I have found several brews that I don't like, but part of the fun has been trying the sample packs that came with the unit and others I received as a gift.
I will say that the only disappointing thing about the Keurig is that a regular (non-EXTRA BOLD) K-cup is only strong enough for a 6-oz cup for me. I must purchase EXTRA BOLD K-cups for a good 8-oz cup and I'm more limited to the types that are available for EXTRA BOLD. That being said, even the EXTRA BOLD are too weak for the 11-oz travel size and that is very disappointing to me since I would like to be able to fill up a larger mug with perfect coffee. Guess I'll have to do two 6-oz cups for a larger size. I hope the K-cup companies come up with a way to make K-cups strong enough for the travel size option.

Got this coffee maker couple of months ago and love it. We got this version and its worth the extra money over the cheaper one.
The LCD is great with the clock and auto on and auto off options. The sizes of coffee are nice.
The selection of coffee and tea options is very wide and something for everybody. If you like coffee but only drink a cup a day instead of a pot you should probably look into this one.
My second Keurig and I love it more than the first December 31, 2008

I bought a Keurig B40 a few years ago when it was being demoed in a local department store. I was impressed by the coffee and bought it on the spot. My B40 has worked flawlessly for several years but I wanted choices in brew sizes and I wanted something that didn't shake the house apart when it ran.
Because I buy my coffee direct from Keurig's website, I was offered a deal that I couldn't pass up - $100 off the price of the B70 Elite. I started using it Christmas Eve and I can't give a better recommendation.
1. You have a choice of cup size. My mother prefers her coffee to be a little weaker so I brew hers on the large cup size - Perfect! My cup is larger so I brew and Extra Bold on the extra large cup size - a little weak but still VERY GOOD. Flavored coffees tend to be too weak so I brew them on the small cup size.
2. QUIET - I always knew when the coffee was ready in the mornings from the sounds of the B40 groaning and all the dishes in the cupboard rattling. Luckily, I never had a broken dish from the shaking but it was a little unnerving. The B70 is very quiet. When it starts the brew cycle you hear a slight hum followed by the sound of coffee running into your cup. It ends with a quiet hum and is ready to brew the next cup.
3. Power on/off settings - I've set my B70 to come on around 6:30am and go off at 8am. When I'm ready for breakfast, I don't have to wait for the water to heat in the Keurig. I also don't have to leave it on 24 hours a day for that luxury. With the B40, my morning ritual included turning on the Keurig and going about my business cooking and getting ready for the day. Finally the water would be hot and I could make a cup of coffee. Now I walk into the kitchen, select my coffee and voila! I have a steaming cup of coffee with no waiting.
4. Selection! This is no different from other Keurig coffee makers - you have a huge selection of coffees to suit every taste. In my home, we have 3-4 coffee drinkers. I like flavored coffees; another family member only drinks decaf; my daughter likes the bold coffees and my son wants flavored decaf most of the time but occasionally wants a mild blended coffee. I can't speak for the other brands of single cup brewers, but Keurig has a huge selection of coffees. I purchase K-cups directly from Keurig and get a discount as well as free shipping but I also buy from Amazon as they frequently have good deals on some of my favorite flavors.
CONS? Only two things come to mind - I wish the reservoir was bigger so I didn't have to fill it as frequently as I do and coffee cost. My coffee costs slightly less than 50 cents per cup which is cheaper than buying coffee out but more expensive than buying in bulk and using a drip coffee maker. Of course, I don't have any waste so it evens out.
 small water tank December 22, 2008

We purchased this home-edition for an office of 4 people and we find that we have to fill up the water tank quite frequently. Also, when filling a cup with fresh brew, it splatters out so that if you have it on a white counter-top the coffee stains are visible.
The quality of the coffee and that it makes only one cup when you need one is great. That's why it gets such high marks from us.
