The machine itself looks pretty well built, and you would think it should sell for more, and that is because it should sell for more. It is a bit weaker than I like (being a life-long espresso drinker), but still better than 90% of the coffee I get in restaurants, and most people homes. The coffee is not quite up to par with Starbucks, but at about 40 cents a cup (versus the 4 bucks for my cappucinos)it is more than good enough. Green Mountain (the maker of the Keurig) sells the machines at virtually no profit, so that you buy into the system, they then make their money off the K-Cups (I read somewhere they make about 7 cents a cup on the branded stuff, and a bit more on their own). We have an "old school" coffee maker, but I only use that when guests come over, because it is way too much work for just one cup. My wife purchased this machine for me for Father's Day since I had been complaining about how much I spend at Starbucks.
I didn't need a water resevoir, because I am the only coffee drinker in my house, and the smaller footprint made it the perfect size for our limited counter top space. And if you like a particular flavor, you know that is what you will get every time as there is no measuring to mess up. I had been looking at the different Keurig machines, and the other single serve brewers (senseo, Tassimo, etc). This thing gets used every morning before work, and sometimes after dinner. And if you are worried that the machine will become discontinued and you won't be able to find k-cups, rest assured that is very unlikely as they are the biggest seller among these systems, and that margin should only grow as they just struck a deal with Wal-Mart to sell their products, and there is a Cuisinart K-cup system in the works. My wife decided for me, and did a great job.
I couldn't believe how easy it was to use.
Now that I have this brewing system I make my own cofee. It has saved me a lot of money I used to buy coffee out at least once a day and that is a very expensive habit. I also bought my son one for his birthday and he is very happy with it.sjp This Brewing System is great. It is fast, clean and makes great coffee.
The reservoir feature is something in my big Keurig that I actually don't like - since it's just me and I only drink at home on the weekends, I end up washing it every time I make a cup. Now, that said, I would not put an Extra Bold k-cup in the mini - that is too strong for me. I actually like the B30 better.
Also, in my opinion, the coffee tastes better. Anyway, for silence, convenience, size, price, etc. I don't see the value in the larger sizes in my big Keurig because to me, the coffee becomes way too weak.
Like many others, I have a B60 at home and the B30 is my second Keurig. I hit brew and then turn my computer on so I don't even notice how long it takes for it to complete. I wish I had two minis and not spent the extra on the larger for the house.
I'm the only coffee drinker both at home and in my office. The little machine sits at work - just grab a bottle of water in the morning and I have a lovely little cup of coffee a few minutes later.
it was the thing we ever did and we have the bigger one at home. it's just the right size for coffee when you only want one of cup coffee. Thank You. I had purchase the Keurig B30 mini Single-serve Brewing System for my wife we took it with us on vacations and she was happy that we did. she enjoy the way it brews coffee with the cup.
Literally anyone can make a very good cup of coffee with this machine. I'm very impressed with this product. I really can't say enough about this product, if you're thinking about purchasing a Keurig do yourself a favor and pick one up right away. I strongly recommend purchasing the "my k cup" attachment as you can then use your own freshly ground beans to produce excellent coffee on the cheap with no waste. It's very easy to use and produces an excellent cup of coffee every time. I've used the k-cups as well as the "my k cup" attachment and they're quite easy to switch between.
