NBR: Keurig Recs

dawnies79

I know, I know...Google is my friend. I'm looking into getting a Keurig and when I looked on Amazon there are several different models. I'm very new to them, and I know several of you have them so I need help. I'm having a hard time figuring out which model would be best for DH and I. We drink a fair amount of coffee. I fill a travel mug every morning and since DH is home during the day he winds up drinking 3-5 cups a day. It's about the same on weekends. Any recs? Are there pros and cons to different models?

I think we have the Elite model, it is digital and programmable.  It has an brew over ice feature, and several different sizes.  We got ours at Target but I'm pretty certain COSTCO has the same one plus you get a sample pack of K cups and a reusable insert (To use for coffee grounds).  It's super fast, I usually program it to come on 30 mins before we wake then it's all warmed up before I wake.  It takes less than a minute to brew 1 cup (or up to 13 oz I think).  We buy our K cups at COSTCO too.  80 of them for $35.

 This is the model I have.  I don't really have any experience with any other models. My friend has this one https://www.amazon.com/Keurig-B-40-Gourmet-Single-Cup-Home-Brewing/dp/B000AQPMHA/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1308162736&sr=8-6 and now she wants my model because the display is digital.

I love my Keurig, I usually have 2 big cups a coffee a day and have used this thing every day since I got it for Christmas!

We debated between the keurig or cuisinart one, both at Costco. We went with the cuisinart one, had some better features dh thought.  We just got it in May and love it. Although I still use our espresso machine in the morning, he uses it acouple times a day for coffee and iced teas.

We love our cuisinart!

We originally had this model: https://www.amazon.com/Keurig-B-40-Gourmet-Single-Cup-Home-Brewing/dp/B000AQPMHA/ref=sr_1_5?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1308165398&sr=1-5 ... it worked great for about a year then for some reason it broke (and now I can't seem to remember what went wrong with it ..) 

 

My husband's coworker's husband works for Green Mountain Coffee ..so we got 50% off a new one and ended up getting this:  

 https://www.amazon.com/Breville-BKC700XL-Single-Serve-Coffeemaker-Iced-Beverage/dp/B002MZYZHU/ref=sr_1_2?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1308165352&sr=1-2

 

We LOVE it!! We program it for before we wake up so it's all warmed up and it takes about a minute per cup, plus you don't have to fill the tank as often as the smaller machines.  We also buy our Kcups at Costco ...they're a way better deal than anywhere else!

Ok we have the platinum as well, Costco seems like the best deal! At least compared to the link to Amazon.

Thank you, ladies. I thought it was going to be a tough sell to DH since we already have a traditional coffee maker. After I told him you all have great things to say he is totally for it. Yay!
