The first thing to know, is…
What Is The Keurig B60 Coffee Maker
Well this machine is a single cup coffee maker, which means you brew one cup at a time. The benefits of this process are that coffee never goes stale, as in drip based machines. Because the taste of coffee deteriorates quickly it is important that your coffee maker that has programmable timer and temperature control. Which again the Keurig B60 has.
This machine is a good solid performer, built like a tank in fact. Other machines I’ve had over the years were of poor build quality and produced inferior coffee to this little gem. The machine is not only built well, it also looks great – beautiful with its chrome accents and blue backlit display. It really does look good sitting on my counter-top.
I own and operate a small café in my town, and I get asked constantly by clients which coffee maker I use at home. I will tell you what I tell them, you can’t go past this machine for its ease of use, simplicity, style and quality of coffee. It gets used every day by myself, my wife and out children and it has worked now without fail for months.
Part of the reason I love using it so much is that there are more than 70 different flavors to choose from including flavors like vanilla, French Roast and pumpkin spice. I cannot recommend this coffee maker highly enough…

Who Should Own A Keurig Coffee Maker?
If you want a great cup of coffee every time you need one, then the Keurig B60 will deliver each and every time. It will brew your coffee in less than a minute and once the machine warms up, 10 seconds is all you need to get a hot steaming cup of coffee.
With the larger cup size you can fill your travel mug for that coffee on the way to work. You can even change which type of coffee you drink 70 times if you wish, because there are that many different types and flavors – even more if you drink tea.
There are those worried that when you entertain, that the Keurig Coffee Maker will fail to produce hot coffee for the entire group. Well unless you have 20 guests at one time, then this will still perform. We regularly have two other couples over for dinner and I can have 6 hot cups of coffee out on the table at one time – and with six different flavors.
Are There Comparable Machines?
I run my own café, and as such I obviously like my coffee. But I’ll never put in a commercial or semi-commercial machine onto my hone. Why?
Well they are temperamental, require a lot of intensive cleaning and I don’t have that time in the morning to get it up and running. So over the years I have bought and returned a lot of coffee machines trying to find just the right one.
Now I won’t name brands here, but I have had 7 different machines over the years. Some only lasted a month or two before they fell apart. I’ve had the lot, done research and used them all.
A few months back now, someone mentioned to me the Keurig Coffee Maker, and I thought “here we go again … another temperamental, crap coffee producing machine that will not be cheap.”
To say I as pleasantly surprised is an under-statement. This machine has been used every day for over 5 months now. And not just once…
I’ll brew 3 cups each day, my wife will have a couple of her flavored coffees, and my two boys will have anything from hot chocolates, or even use it to give them hot water for their noodles, oatmeal or other goodies.
It just keeps on working, producing quality coffee over and over again. It’s easy to clean and simple to use. If you’re looking for a great home machine so you can have a great cup of anything, then this is by far the best coffee maker available.
The Bottom Line
Here’s just some of the many comments I’ve had from clients of my café that went ahead and purchased one of the Keurig B60 coffee makers:
“I think the B60 is outstanding. I like it much better then the messy pod system. I am soo happy with this product.”
“Got my B60 out of the box, added water, and plugged it in … coffee in less than a minute. Brilliant!”
“Makes a great cup of coffee, worth the money and quick in the morning. Impressive.”
So in my opinion…
If you’re looking for a great coffee maker that will look good on your counter, produce great coffee, with numerous varieties of flavors/brews, no mess or fuss to clean and works every day without fail, then the Keurig B60 is the machine for you.
