Keurig Review

Posted on January 18 2010 by Stefanie

spacerlogoMy long awaited Keurig…oh life is good! If you read my post about choosing a new coffee maker then you already know my obsession with all things coffee and how badly I wanted/needed a new coffee maker. So here I am sipping on some delicious Gloria Jeans Swiss Chocolate Almond coffee that I made in my Keurig and just dying to tell you all how wonderful and fast it is. And let’s not forget all the features it offers.

So first things first, I am now over my Dunkin Donuts Hazelnut coffee obsession and have  a new coffee love; Gloria Jeans Mudslide and of course the Swiss Chocolate Almond. YUM! Keurig offers more than Gloria Jeans flavors though. Click here to see all their wonderfully delicious flavors. And here are a few awesome Keurig accessories you can purchase to go along with your Keurig or get one for that coffee-loving, Keurig-loving friend of yours! They even offer teas, which my daughter loves! She is so excited that she can have a hot cup of tea every once in a while when it’s cold outside or she’s not feeling well. The Lemon Zinger Herbal Tea is her favorite…so tasty! And they have iced teas as well since the Platinum Keurig Brewing System can make iced drinks.

Keurig Features

The Platinum Edition has the largest available 60 oz. removable water reservoir and can hold up to ten cups before you have to refill it. Wonderful for me since I am the only one that drinks coffee in the house and I can keep filling up all day without having to refill the tank each time. The drip tray comes out for easy cleaning and also so I can fill my travel mug for those days when I need my coffee on the go.  There is an auto on/off timer, a digital clock, adjustable temperature control and you can select your favorite cup size. I love that I can wake up to my coffee maker warmed up and that it’s ready and waiting for me to just push the button for fast, yummy coffee.  I also  love that I can set to turn off after being on for a couple hours so I don’t have to worry while I’m out if I remembered to turn it off.
As some of you know from reading my past coffee post, my old coffee maker was very old and extremely slow. The Keurig beats it in not only coffee taste but also in the amount of time it takes from start to finish. Here is a video on the Keurig, it’s features and a comparison to my old coffee maker.





A few things that I can’t wait to get for my Keurig are the refillable K-Cup filter, called the My K-Cup, in case I don’t have any K-Cups leftkcup carousel I can refill it with some of my Dunkin Donuts coffee and the carousel to keep my K-Cups organized and out of the way. The K-Cups are wonderful and I love that they’re easy to use and not messy. I hated spilling coffee grounds on my counter almost every morning while I was measuring out my coffee and trying to fill up my filter. This is so easy to use; pop in a K-Cup, press my  cup size and brew button and voila…my coffee is ready in about one minute.

Do you have a Keurig? I would love to know your favorite K-Cup flavor and what you think about your Keurig compared to other brewing systems.

  1. I have a Keurig and love it, too. It’s so convenient in a house like mine where my husband and I have totally different taste in coffee.

    His favorite is Green Mountain Breakfast Blend. My favorite is Green Mountain Vanilla Caramel Creme and I just got a Kaluhua flavor that is delish!

    Love my Keurig. I love the Donut Shop coffee from Coffee People. Another favorite is the Celestial Seasons Breakfast Tea. It’s good hot, but if you’re an iced tea drink like me it makes yummy iced sweet tea. I just fill a glass with ice and sugar and brew. Mmmm!
