Keurig 2.0 & Keurig 2.0 Hack

Keurig 2.0 Reviews k550 & k560 – Pros & Cons I just purchased the Keurig 2.0 Model k560 (which is same as Model k550) at Costco for $129 ($149 – $20 special). The 560 included 48 Keurig K-cups, 4 Carafe size K-cups, and a 4 cup Carafe. Reviews have been poor but Costco has a great return policy so I thought I would take a chance. I’ve had the Keurig B31 (B30) Mini brewer for over a year now and love the convenience. We use our Cuisinart to brew a pot of coffee in the morning and the Keurig for the occasional cup during the day. I work from home and wanted a single cup coffee brewer in my office. The Keurig B31 (read my review here) doesn’t have a water reserve so the new Keurig 2.0 560 looked great, sporting an 80 oz. water reserve. Here’s where it gets interesting

Keurig B31 Mini Coffee Maker Review

NOTICE: Keurig Recall (12/23/2014) – Keurig is recalling 6.6 million of its popular coffee makers after receiving “90 reports of burn-related injuries.” “Hot liquid could escape from certain MINI Plus Brewing System units during use,” the company said Tuesday. That is more likely “if the brewer is used to brew more than two cups in quick succession.”  Visit Keurig website for more information. It appears that if your Keurig B31 does not have a model # starting with K10 you are OK. The coffee makers are stamped with the model number K10 and were made between December 2009 and July 2014. They may have been purchased at a Kmart, Kohl’s, Target or Walmart , or directly from Keurig Green Mountain. _________________ My Review of the Keurig B31 The Keurig B31 Mini Coffee Maker is the baby of the Keurig line. Its bigger brothers, the Keurig B70, Keurig B40, Keurig B75, etc. all

Keurig B130 K-cup Coffee Brewer $60 Free Shipping – Deal

This is a great deal if you are in the market for a Keurig single cup coffee maker! I have the B170 model (Costco $149) and started with the B31 model (Walmart $99)… So for $60 this is a really good deal – even comes with an 18 cup box of coffee pods. Let me warn you, K-cups can get addictive! There are so many varieties available – regular & decaf – from mild to extra bold, flavored, cocoa, tea… you name it. On average the cups cost about $.60 ea.. so not cheap if you drink a lot of coffee. But for that morning cup, or evening cup of decaf, you will love your Keurig. I like really strong coffee, my wife likes medium strong… now we both have what we want! To save money, you can purchase the Keurig K-cup adaptor or a 3rd party adaptor on Amazon

$16 Keurig K-Cup 48-pk. Green Mountain Coffee Holiday Coffee Collection – DEAL

$16 for 48 K-cups at Kohls. $1 shipping. I recently received a Keurig single serve coffee maker as a gift (thanks, Al & Bev!) and am now hooked. I’m on the lookout for good deals on these little single serve cups. Costco has the best deal – 80 cups for $35 or so – but limited selection. This Kohl’s deal looks pretty good. I’m not sure I’ll like all the flavors… I’m more of a bold, black coffee drinker…  but it may be nice to have some selections when friends visit. Although these are holiday (winter) variety pack, according to most reviewers, they are tasty any time of the year. Here is the deal taken from one of my favorite deal sites, www.dealnews.com. Deal ends 4/7. (I checked Amazon and their price is $28) 48 Keurig Green Mountain Coffee Collection K-Cups sale $19.99 regular $39.99 w/code $15.99 + .99 shipping
