Keurig’s B60 Brewer Special Edition
This is a review of my second Keurig Brewer.
Keurig’s B60 Brewer Special Edition
The B60 brewer is very similar to the other Keurig’s brewers, it has all the features you would expect in a Keurig machine (a cup brews in about one minute), and a few more new features. The one feature I am most excited to see is the three different cup sizes (5.25, 7.25, and 9.25oz for those travel size cups). It is great for entertaining with its single serve brewing, guests love choosing their K-cup flavor. Now you can get reusable K-Cups (My K-Cup) that you can fill with any coffee grounds if you cannot find a K-Cup flavor you like (over 70 varieties to choose from). Each of the My K-Cup’s is good for around 500 brews.
The machine itself measures 13 ¼” H by 10”W by 13D, which isn’t bad. I think it is a little wide, but it is not a deal breaker. The B60 is one of the best looking of the Keurig machines. It also has a durable and good heating and pumping mechanisms.
With the B60, you have control of the brewing temperature and time. The patented one-touch technology allows you to brew your beverage at the standard temperature of 192 degrees F or a cooler 187 degrees F. The lower brewing temperature is great for tea, and regular tea drinkers will appreciate this feature. It has a forty-eight ounce water reservoir that you can remove for easy fill-up. There is also a removable stainless steel drip tray, which makes cleaning up quick.
The 24-hour digital clock that is displayed on a LCD with striking bright-blue backlight is nice. I also like the programmable on/off timer. However having a timer on a single serve machine does seem a bit silly, unless you are on a tight schedule that almost never changes or you always get up at the same time each day. With the indicator you do not even have to think about it, just do what the light tells you to do.
Using the B60 is easy and simple, just open the lid, insert a K-Cup and chose your cup size. Using only 1500 watts, there should be no need to worry about energy consumption. 1500 watts is what most hair dryer’s use, if that helps you understand how much power it uses while it is brewing. The chrome handle and faceplate are a nice touch, they make the machine look fancy. The B60 would fit in great with almost any kitchen or office décor.
Cost, approximately 149.95 and it’s well worth it!
