For those of you who are looking for a small appliance such as a coffee machine that does more than just make coffee, I would recommend the Keurig B70 Series. I was fortunate enough to receive on for review purposes and I simply love it! The Keurig B70 Platinum Series is a single cup brewer. However, it offers more versatility than just your average coffee machine.
The Keurig B70 Series can brew coffee, teas, and ciders. You also have the choice of either a hot or cold drink. In order to brew a cold drink, simply choose which Kcup flavor you want. For example, I tried both the Green Mountain Coffee, Extra Bold that I received as a sample as well as the Celestial Seasonings Perfect Iced Tea. I have yet to try the Green Mountain Naturals Hot Apple Cider.
Before using your Keurig B70 Platinum unit there are some things that you should do. Follow these steps to ensure that your brewer is set up properly before you brew your first cup.
1. Remove the packaging from the unit and place on counter.
2. Remove the lid to the water reservoir and fill with water. It is recommended that you use distilled
or bottled water to cut down on lime scale buildup.
3. Plug the unit in and press the off/on switch located at the back of the unit.
4. Place mug on the cup plate which is located under the brew spout.
5. Press the flashing brew button.
6. Let the cup fill with boiling water.
7. Throw out that cup of boiling water.
8. Choose one of the Kcup flavors and place it in the top part of the unit. There is a silver handle that
you lift up. Be careful when putting the Kcup into the unit as there are special pins that pierce the Kcup
to permit the flavor to flow through. Close the lid.
9. Choose your cup size and place on brewing plate under the spout.
10. Press brew.
11. In a matter of minutes, you will have a cup of freshly brewed coffee, tea, hot chocolate or cider.
12. The unit is also programmable, so just set the timer to the time that you wish and wake up to something warm or cold and refreshing.
As you can see the Keurig B70 Platinum Series is a nice looking machine. It is rather easy to set up and within no time you will have a drink of your choice.
There are several things that come along with the Keurig machine, such as; an owner’s manual, that clearly explains all the parts of the machine and the basic setup. It also goes into detail how to set the timer, cleaning instructions and much more.
It also comes with a booklet that list the various types of Kcups that are available for the machine. Some of them are iced coffee, energy coffee, iced tea, travel mug sized coffee, and milk-based beverages.
For those of you who wish to have an iced drink using the Keurig B70 Brewer, it is recommended that you use a ceramic or stainless steel mug. Do not use plastic or glass. Simply add whole or crushed ice cubes to your cup. Place your drink of choice in the Keurig B70 brewer, put your cup of ice underneath and brew as usual.
The Keurig B70 Platinum Series is available for purchase at the Keurig website and is priced at $179.95. They also have other Keurig brewers and accessories available at the website. The Keurig B70 Platinum Series is a great brewing system for your home or to give as a gift for Christmas or any time of the year!
*Disclaimer*- I received the Keurig B70 Platinum series brewing system, along with 3 boxes of Kcups for the purpose of a product review. I did not receive any monetary compensation for this review post. I was under no obligation to write a positive review and all opinions expressed are entirely my own and may not be the same as yours.
This sounds GREAT and for my family, much better than a coffee maker. We all get up at different times and we all like different kinds of coffee. My youngest only likes hot chocolate so she would be able to drink something too! I like the fact that it can do cold or hot beverages. I am definitely going to look into this now. Thanks so much for the great review!
I want one!.. I have a mr coffee k-cup brewer and its ok but I want a real keurig..
I have wanted a keurig forever
I want one of these so bad! I love the variety of drinks you can make with this.
We just recently got a Keurig — and my husband is now addicted to making coffee in it. He doesn’t even want to make or have regular coffee (like at the office)… It’s an amazing appliance. Now if we able to keep affording the cups!
I LOVE Keurig! I have one and I just love it. It is great when I am the only one drinking coffee. I also love all the different K-cups that are available now.
What is your favorite flavor in coffee.
I don’t drink coffee but this would be so nice for my tea!
I have been wanting one of these for a long time. I love your detailed review, very nice.
I really want a kuerig but I am not sure how practical it is if you drink more than one cup a day. So awesome though!
I would LOVE to have one of these. I’ve heard such great things about them.
I’d love to have a Keurig one day. It sounds amazing!
My friends swear by their keurigs 🙂 Too cool.
I really need to get one for my husband for Christmas. He is a HUGE coffee drinker 🙂
I’ve been wanting a Keurig for as long as I can remember. Maybe there will be one under my Christmas Tree this year.
They used to have one where I worked. I LOVE these!
