The Great Things About a K Cup Coffee Maker

Keurig is the developer of the K cup coffee maker systems that utilize new technologies to produce exceptional coffee. Instead of using regular ground coffee, these systems make use of little pre-measured packets of coffee that the company calls K-Cups. Housed in these convenient little cups you’ll find some of the premium coffee blends from all over the country.  No where else will you get  this kind of convenience as well as variety. Pop the little k-cup into your Keurig machine, and you can experience a variety of American coffees right in the comfort of your own home.

There are a number of different models of k cup coffee makers available, and there’s sure to be one to fulfill every kind of need. You can start with a Mini Personal Brewer in your choice of black, red, or white. This convenient little machine leaves a very small footprint and is appropriate in many places where a larger  unit would just take up too much space, such as a cabin, an RV, a dorm room, or even on your desktop at the office. This little model will heat and brew you a cup of coffee in less than three minutes.

If you’d like to have a larger K Cup coffee maker with more features, you can choose from the Elite Home Brewing System, the Special Edition Home Brewing System, or the Platinum Home Brewing system. These machines will allow you to set the number of ounces of coffee you want to brew and come with many removable parts that you can just put into the dishwasher for easy clean-up. Both the Special Edition and Platinum models are programmable. You can also opt for a model called the OfficePro Small Office Brewer. It features a drainable water reservoir to enable you to move it to where you want it without dripping, a feature which the home brewers don’t have.

The variety of coffees you can buy to go with your k cup coffee maker will amaze you. You can choose from Donut Shop coffee, Green Mountain, Newman’s Own, Caribou, Kona, and Emeril’s French Roast. In addition, you can buy a selection of different flavored coffees, hot teas, iced teas, and hot chocolate k-cups to make this a versatile machine that can be used by the entire family.

Keurig Coffee Makers and Green Mountain K-Cups

Green Mountain coffee is a relative newcomer to the world of coffee companies, but it has gotten started with a bang. Since it first started producing gourmet ground roast coffee in a small cafe in Vermont in 1981, it has grown to an entity that is reputed worldwide as a leader in the specialty coffee  industry. In fact, at the end of the company’s fiscal year that ended in September, 2008, the company reported more than $500 million in sales. The company operations are run through two business segments: Green Mountain Coffee and Keurig. As you may already know, Keurig produces a line of single-cup coffee makers that use K-cup portion packs to make outstanding coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. Green Mountain k-cups have become one of the hottest items in the coffee market.

The new Keurig coffee makers are designed for ease of use and clean up. Simply slip in a k-cup of the beverage you want and press a button.  K-cups are pre-measured, so you get the perfect cup of coffee every time. There’s no messy grounds and no spills. The Keurig Special Edition Brewer B60 is a middle-of-the-line system that uses k-cups. This brewer features 3 brew sizes, adjustable brew temperature, LCD display, water reservoir, programmable on-off timer, and removable stainless steel drip tray for easy cleaning. Other models of Keurig machines have many of these same features.

Although Green Mountain and Keurig are part of the same parent company, Green Mountain k-cups are the only ones the coffee part of the entity sells. In fact, there are more than 75 different kinds of coffees, cocoas, and teas available in k-cup form that can be used with the Keurig brewing machines. Several different kinds of Tully’s, Newman’s Own, Caribou, and Green Mountain coffees are represented in the offerings along with a number of different Celestial teas and Cafe Escapes hot chocolates. There are even espresso blend k-cups that you can choose from. If you like, you could indulge yourself in a different hot beverage every morning, because numerous variety packs are available.
