Review: Keurig Platinum B70 K Cup Single-Cup Brewer

Review from Single Serve Coffee.com - Coffee Pod Reviews

We've been testing the Keurig Platinum B70 K Cup Single-Cup Brewer along side it's older cousin the Keurig B60 brewer for over 2 weeks and find the two cousins to be refreshingly different. What's different from the Keurig Platinum B70 K Cup Single-Cup Brewer compared with the B40, B50, and comparable B60? Basically, a smaller footprint, larger reservoir and reduced noise during brewing. It also features 4 programmable cup sizes versus 3 on the Keurig B60, the largest topping out at a whopping 11.25 oz, which is enough to fill just about any travel mug with lots of coffee.

So readers had a bunch of questions we needed to answer:

Is it really more quiet than the older models?
How much of a difference does the larger reservoir make?
Were there other changes you like or didn't like?
How is the coffee compared to the B60 or B50?
Did you like the larger brew size option of 11.25 oz?

We answer all your questions and if you'd like to see how we rated the other Keurig brewers - for a full run down of our impressions of the B40 and B60, you can read a full review here. For a full review of the Keurig B50, you can read our full review here.

Features of the New Keurig Platinum B70 K Cup Single-Cup Brewer

Keurig B70 Features

4 brew sizes:
5.25-oz. more intense cup
7.25-oz. regular cup
9.25-oz. mug
11.25-oz. travel mug
Adjustable brew temperature
Blue backlit LCD display and water reservoir
Digital clock, Programmable on/off timer
Ready to brew three minutes after turned on
Descale indicator for long life
Removable 60-oz. water reservoir
Removable stainless steel drip tray
Chrome handle and faceplate
UL/c-UL Approved, Warranted for household use

There's more than just new settings, there's also a new look and design for the Keurig Platinum B70 K Cup Single-Cup Brewer. It's a bit thinner and also a bit more sleek than the B60. We like the new closing mechanism for inserting the K Cup into the Keurig B70, and find it closes a bit easier. The Keurig Platinum B70 K Cup Single-Cup Brewer also claims to be much quieter? Is it?

So that brings us to our first question and answer - Is it really more quiet than the older Keurig models?

Yes and no. We ran a set of videos last week giving you the ability to hear the Keurig B60 and the Keurig Platinum B70 K Cup Single-Cup Brewer. If everything is tight and in place on the new B70, it will be quieter than the older Keurig B60. But if the lid to the reservoir is loose, or you have the machine on an uneven counter, the machines will sound about the same when priming. During brewing, the Keurig Platinum B70 K Cup Single-Cup Brewer is always quieter. And surprisingly? Seems to take less time to brew the standard 7.25 oz regular cup of coffee.

And now this brings us to our second question - How much of a difference does the larger reservoir make?

This one's easy. It's worth the extra $50 if you make a ton of coffee to purchase the Keurig Platinum B70 K Cup Single-Cup Brewer on this new feature alone. We went most of Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday not needing to refill the water reservoir. In the older Keurig models - the 12 less ounces really did make a difference. We always felt we were refilling the Keurig B60 or B40 we use at work all the time.

And finally for feature questions - Were there changes you like or didn't like in the new B70 model?

There's one change we don't like. It wasn't evident right away and maybe wouldn't even bother you. The only power button to turn on the Keurig B70 is in the back. The Keurig B40, B50, and B60 power buttons are on the front and easy to access. If you put your new Keurig Platinum B70 K Cup Single-Cup Brewer against the wall on your counter, and if you haven't pre-programmed the machine to come on in the morning, then you'll have to reach around to power up the B70. This is a bit of a bummer. We often find the auto-on to be the best feature, but we also use the Keurig later in the day and with a touch of a button on the front of the B60 - it powers right up. Call us picky - but we like our power buttons in the front.

We also thought for $199.99 you might get a charcoal water filter in the B70. None. Though we use filtered water here at SingleServeCoffee.com, many people don't have this option and it makes a big difference. We hope in the future Keurig offers a water filter option so you get the best cup possible if you don't have filtered water to use.

Brewing K Cup Coffee in the Keurig Platinum B70 Single Cup Brewer

We have really been putting the Keurig Platinum B70 K Cup Single-Cup Brewer through it's paces. We tried coffee from all 4 different models - the B40, B50, B60, and B70 and found the coffee all to be the same when brewed at the standard 7.25 oz setting. We also used the K Cup reuseable coffee filter in all the models with some French Roast coffee from Green Mountain, and also found the coffee to be nearly the same.

The Keurig Platinum B70 Single-Cup brewer is quieter during the brew cycle, but still at the end the brewer pump is quite loud. There is something more understated about it's finish and we also noticed it takes less time to brew a cup of coffee using the B70 - almost 15 less seconds than the Keurig B60.

So that brings us to our next question - How is the coffee compared to the B60 or B50?

Like we said above - not much difference at all. Comparing Tully's French Roast coffee in each of the models at 7.25 oz produced a great tasting cup of coffee. We ran the tests simultaneously, with 3 members of the SingleServeCoffee.com staff pushing the button on the 3 brewers - B40, B60 and B70 at the same time. We sampled the coffee from each - it's the same.

What else is there to say about brewing coffee in the Keurig B70? It's a bit faster than the other models and this doesn't seem to make a difference in coffee taste of flavor. All the extra-bold K Cup coffees tasted great, and we found no real difference in brewing the coffee at the different temperatures except we like our coffee really hot at 192 F instead of the lower 187 F setting. But what about that brew size?

And this leads us to our final question - Did you like the larger brew size option of 11.25 oz?

Yes and no. As Keurig recommends, when brewing on the 11.25 oz travel mug setting, you need to use extra bold K Cups in the Keurig Platinum B70 K Cup Single-Cup Brewer. A regular K Cup like the Green Mountain French Roast or a Gloria Jean's Pumpkin Spice won't hold up. There's simply not enough coffee to water to brew at 11.25 oz. And even with the extra bold K Cups, at 11.25 oz we didn't like the coffee nearly as much as the 7.25 oz setting. We prefer less coffee volume to better flavor every time.

Conclusions

We really like the new Keurig Platinum B70 K Cup Single-Cup Brewer and find it to be an improvement over the Keurig B60.

Pros

60 water reservoir - less trips to the faucet
Larger display with easier to program interface
A bit quieter than the older models
New Sleek Design
Better closing mechanism for inserting K Cups
New Larger 11.25 oz brew size - only good for use with extra bold K Cups

Cons

Power button in the back
11.25 brew size is only good for use with extra bold K Cups

We're going to give the Keurig Platinum B70 K Cup Single-Cup Brewer a recommend to buy if you really need the larger reservoir (which we think everyone will like) and if you are looking to purchase a Keurig machine that's got more features than any other Keurig model. Once again, Keurig continues to innovate on an extremely solid design from earlier models like the B60, and we can't wait to see what the future brings for Keurig over the next year. With over 130+ coffees to choose from, the Keurig Platinum B70 K Cup Single-Cup Brewer is a great choice for any coffee drinker looking for a variety of options in a single serve coffee maker.

I have a B60 and it does not have the "NOT READY" problem when I did the "priming" process. So I brought this B70 during Christmas this year, I had the exact "NOT READY" problem during the "priming" process like most of the people here. They sure DO have some engeineering/quality control issue here. No water was coming out and it looked like the pump had some kind of problem in getting water from the tank when the "priming" process was taken place. Instead of waiting a technican to call me back on Monday, I decided to ask my friend Google. It appeared there are a lot of people have the same problem and only ONE of the postings offered a solution and it WORKS!!! Here is the link and the extracted method in showing you how to reset the B70 so that you can retry the "priming" process. PS: You may have to try MANY times for the step #3 as described. http://www.all-about-coffee-makers.com/my-experince-of-keurig-b66-coffee-maker.html Fixed Not Ready Mode by: Anonymous Bummed - I talked to Keurig this morning (Dec 27, 2008). There are 4 steps to fix this: 1. Simultaneously press and release "small mug" and "medium mug". Immediately afterward press "menu" 3 times. (Menu is the black button under the display screen.) You should see a time 6:09 on your screen. 2. Press "menu" once. Your LCD screen should say Brew 0:00. 3. (I messed this step up like 10 times and had to unplug the machine, then replug it and start over at step one. You have to unplug if the LCD displays "auto ____". If it continues to flash "Not Ready" and "Brew" then you can just keep trying step 3). Press and hold "medium mug". While holding "medium mug" press and release "menu". Immediately after pressing "menu" (while still holding "medium mug") press "small mug". Release "small mug" and "medium mug" at the same time. This entire thing needs to be done very quickly. as soon as you release "menu" go to "small mug" and release both buttons quickly. 4. Unplug the machine (do not turn it off). Wait for 3 seconds or so. Plug it back in, turn it on and follow the instructions for priming. GOOD LUCK :o)

I just received the new B70. Not a big deal but when setting the clock passing 11:59 - AM and/or PM does not change. It changes at 1:00. Is there is a fix for this or am I stuck. Thank you, Wade (770)513-2737

I bought my Platinum B70 a couple of months ago, it was working great. Now, all of the sudden this weekend it has stopped working; all it says is "NOT READY", but won't tell me why it's not ready, and I'm doing everything exactly as before when it was working great. Very frustrating. I expected more quality out of a $200 coffee maker
Posted by: lunksmoo at December 3, 2006 9:44 PM

I got the Keurig B70 + My K-Cup specifically to brew loose leaf tea and it works great, but for most teas you'll need to grind the leaves finer, but you need to do that anyway with coffee beans so I don't see that as a problem at all.
Posted by: abc at December 10, 2006 5:01 PM

Just got my B70 a few days after Christmas and it's great. Only had it a short time but no problems so far but that's why you have a warranty. One thing I like about the Keurig over other brands is the "My K-Cup" filter that lets you use your own coffee or tea. Nice. I'd reccommend Keurig.
Posted by: Jim at December 30, 2006 12:04 PM

I'll echo the comments by lunksmoo. Got a Keurig B70 for my wife for Xmas 2007. Here it is, not even four months later, and the unit suddenly started telling me it's "NOT READY" with no explanation, no apparent reason, and no apparent fix. Now I have to send it back to the manufacturer for a fix? Just great.
Posted by: JimG at April 11, 2007 11:50 AM

I love my Keurig - got it for Christmas 2006 used it up until about a week ago when it started popping my circuit breaker every time it tried to brew a cup of coffee. Not sure what the problem was, so called customer service. It was 7:30PM, the gentleman took down my information and said that someone would call me back the next day. The Director of Customer Service called me at 9:35, by 9:45, she was making arrangements to ship out a brand new machine. I received it today and will call her on Monday to have her arrange pickup with UPS of my old machine in the new packing material. No trouble, no hassle. Yes, there was a problem, but I have never experienced more stellar customer service in an organization.
Posted by: Chris at June 1, 2007 10:17 PM

We're having the same 'Not Ready' problem. Just left a message for customer service. We just got it for Christmas so we've been using it less than 6 months. Aside from the current problem we've loved it!! Hopefully cust serv will be able to get us a new one!
Posted by: Coleen at June 2, 2007 8:41 AM

I'm having the same NOT READY problem. The machine is only 7 months old and still under warranty. I have a call into customer service, but I fear that I'll have to send it in for repair! BUMMER!!! Considering all of the above posts with the same problem. . .there's obviously a GLITCH in the B70!!!
Posted by: Rose at June 14, 2007 6:58 AM

Yes, there is a problem with the B70. We got ours in Feb '07 and it got stuck in "NOT READY" as well. I called Keurig customer service and they are sending out a new B70, but, they are backordered. They must be in short supply due to this defect. We think that a power outage or surge caused the problem because it became defective right after we had a power outage. We now have a surge protector for our new machine whenever we get that. Apparently, the B70 is very sensitive to electrical surges.
Posted by: Monte at July 5, 2007 10:09 PM

My Keurig Platinum B70 also got stuck in "NOT READY" after several months of use. Customer Service at Keurig confirmed to me that there is a glitch in the machine that causes this problem. It has something to do with the heating element. I was told that the glitch has been re-engineered and the problem solved. Customer Service was wonderful and immediately shipped out a new machine. No returning the old machine for repair, they just send you out a new one. GREAT!
Posted by: Dennis at July 15, 2007 12:17 PM

Well, I'm out of a great coffee maker but glad to hear I'm not alone. My 6 month old B70 has the same issue "Not Ready". I was told today to expect a call from customer service tomorrow... Im keeping my fingers crossed - I LOVE this machine. I'll post the outcome :)
Posted by: Julie at August 8, 2007 7:47 PM

Ditto on the Not Ready message. It was working fine for 10 months and then this! I will not be a happy camper in the morning without my java!! I hope to hear from customer service too!!!
Posted by: Kathy at August 17, 2007 11:17 PM

Just today had the "not ready" issue with a B70 bought in June. I have a call in for customer service and they promised to call back in 24 hours. Sheesh! Looks like I'm not alone.
Posted by: Chuck at December 17, 2007 7:32 PM

I got my new keurig b70 a few weeks ago and haven't had any problem except I don't get a full cup of coffee everytime sometime it's only half in which case it makes it to strong and other times not strong enough. Also, why do the k-cups cost sooooo much? I do have the k-cup make your own brand but it does not taste the same it's druggy in the botton. Is anyone else having this problem?
Posted by: June at December 24, 2007 9:16 PM

I received my coffee pot in Aug.2006 and Christmas morning I got the "Not ready" sign. I contacted customer service and they extended the warranty since the year had passed and they are sending me a new updated B70. The rep. said they haven't had any returns from the updated one. The were very efficient and curtious!
Posted by: Karyn at December 26, 2007 4:03 PM

I have the B50 and just received the B70 December 2007. The B50 makes a better cup of coffee. The B70 is faster, but the coffee is weaker. (I think I can wait another 15 seconds for better tasting coffee.) Unless you use the same size cup, you have to select the size and then select the brew button. On the B50, when you select the size, it automatically brews. B50, to use a travel mug, I brew two times. B70, the travel mug size is useless, unless you have the strongest k-cup coffee. Since the rest of the size settings produce weaker coffee than the B50, I can't imagine the strongest k-cup coffee tasting very good using the 11.25-oz. setting. (But, to be fair, I haven't tried this setting with bold k-cup coffee.) Pros: Can set when to come on and off, Can set time to shut off when not in use, Temperature setting, Design Cons: Makes weaker coffee than the B50 (faster is not better), On/off button on the back of the machine You buy a coffee maker to make good coffe; save your money and buy the B50.
Posted by: Deborah at December 27, 2007 7:16 AM

We have had the B70 for about 6 months now and it is the best thing since sliced bread!!! It would be a little more convenient if the "ON" button was not in the back......... But I still love this machine!!
Posted by: Monica Bliss at January 28, 2008 11:38 AM

I just started having the same problem as June. Sometimes I only get a small amount of water out of the machine. I've found that if I put my finger over the return tube to the water tank that water will come out of the K cup. If I don't, nothing comes out.
Posted by: Kris at February 18, 2008 10:42 AM

Same experience: "Not Ready". Keurig readily replaced the unit outside of WARRANTY. Updated Model. Apparently there was a problem with the HEATING ELEMENT. Good People.
Posted by: CHUCK R. at March 13, 2008 8:51 PM

Got mine Jan. of 08 for my birthday. The "Not Ready" problem happened yesterday. I called and they are replacing it since under warranty. Hoping to find also the heating element online to order to fix the one I have. I've loved the unit though. Great coffee and the convienence was great and frankly priceless. I am assuming I had one of the old models before the fix on the heating element - and hoping I get one that is defect-free now.
Posted by: AkCoug at May 6, 2008 12:33 PM

My b70 is acting funny. The ounces for each brew size are somtimes over fill & also under fill. I did descale. anyone heard of this problem & what needed to be done. TIA
Posted by: dianeb at July 6, 2008 3:59 PM

well after 18months of operation i got the dreaded "not ready" failure. I have to give credit to the customer service dept, Gale in particular. She was super nice and extended my warranty on my B-70. A new one (hope its a new one) is on the way. Hope I can get at least another 18 months out of this one. Thanks John H.
Posted by: johnh at July 26, 2008 2:30 AM

UPDATE on previous post. I had a problem with my heating element. They replaced immediately with 2nd machine. The 2nd B70 lasted about 4 months and then the same problem - "not ready" - no noise from unit (not heating). They shipped 3rd unit (Aug 08). Told me it was my well water. However - we have a $10,000 filtering system. It seems Keurig wants to limit my warranty because of having well water - advised to descale monthly. I have no problem with doing this - but in the manual it says that the unit should tell you de-scale. I never received any of these notifications. Also - because of our filtering system - I'm hesitant to think it was mineral build up that fried the unit/heating element. I'm wondering if there is still some sort of defect.
Posted by: AkCoug at August 16, 2008 12:43 PM

Received a B70 as a gift in May of '07. In March of '08, I saw the dreaded "Not Ready" light. Customer service was great and sent out a new unit and I had it in two days. Two days ago, I woke up to find that "Not Ready" light again. Customer Service said that they would send me a new one right away. Ihope this one lasts a while.

just purchased Keurig premium at Costco today ( 9/27/08) and looked forward to firt cup - set up as per instruction --> did not prime, but after a while went into "not ready" blinking message - won't reset, wont power off, no buttons responding, tried manually by unplugging and replugging multiple times to no avail. the web site with no advise, very disappointed!
Posted by: gkim at September 28, 2008 12:16 AM

i had mine 12 hours. received it friday night. primed it. did all the right things....saturday morning - not ready. the customer service person said i had to wait until monday for tech support. i told her what i read on the internet about the defect and she got - shall we say "testy". about 4 years ago i received a new machine that smelled from vinegar...and asked me to prime it from the first day. i am a bit disenchanged with keruig.
Posted by: francine at November 9, 2008 10:03 AM

sorry - in my last post i meant to say disenchanted - not disencharged...also what i was trying to explain is that a few years ago they sent me a refurbished machine instead of the new machine i had paid for. i am at a loss, i love the concept but their quality control seems to be lacking
Posted by: francine at November 9, 2008 10:07 AM

Just got mine at Costco. Followed the Primer instructions, "NOT READY" will not stop blinking, never even got to use it, reading these posts tell me this thing does not work.
Posted by: kams at November 11, 2008 1:33 AM

Same thing has happened to me. I bought my Keurig on October 1 (fortunately I kept the receipt for proof) and now today December 1 I'm getting the dreaded "Not Ready" blinking light. I called customer service and have been promised a call back from their tech people first thing tomorrow morning. I love my Keurig but this is frustrating. What am I supposed to do for coffee in the meantime until they resolve this issue?
Posted by: Allison at December 1, 2008 6:16 PM

Got my b60 for christmas, took it out of the box, didnt even ask to be primed, and is stuck in the NOT READY screen. Shame. However, since it was a christmas present, i dont have the reciept. Blast. How am i supposed to fix this? I wonder if i can take it apart and tinker around a bit. See if something is clogged. Maybe the needle is clogged, or something. Has anyone tried to open theirs up? Ide call customer support, but its christmas. Oh well, tomorrow isnt christmas. Hope they can help.
Posted by: andy at December 25, 2008 12:03 PM

Got my B70 for Christmas and never got it working. However, I did start the priming process but it never completed and I ended up with the same not ready message. I also will be calling customer service tomorrow and am considering returning it for a refund. Thanks for all the great posts. I now know that it's a glitch that they have and could mean problems for the duration of owning the Keurig. May not be worth the headache...
Posted by: Denis Houle at December 25, 2008 10:21 PM

I got the B70 for Christmas and the water only heats to 160 degrees instead of 192 degrees that it's set at. I guess it's a lemon, so I'm going to try to exchange it.
Posted by: Heidi at December 26, 2008 12:02 PM

When the unit worked, I really liked the machine. Despite being noisy, I was pleased with the coffee and the convenience of one cup service. Depending on when it stops working (and it will stop working), you may or may not have any recourse with Keurig. My B70 was working perfectly one day and the next day it had the dreaded "Not Ready" phrase displayed on the indicator. No warning signs. Just immediate and complete failure of the unit. The Keurig B70 has a defect in the water heating element. Do some Internet searching and you will find many dissatisfied consumers. Keurig seems to handle the warranty claims in a professional manner and on occasion, will extend the warranty to keep the customer happy. You can typically expect them to reconcile a defective unit up to 18 months past the purchase date. The real problem lies outside the 18 month period. They won't offer a replacement. They don't fix the broken unit. They won't sell you a replacement heating unit. Their only solution is to have you throw out the old unit and they may give you a discount off a brand new one. Personally, I would expect a $200.00 appliance to last five or more years. If such an expensive unit failed, I would expect to have the option to repair it and not fill a landfill with a very new looking appliance. This policy is environmentally irresponsible.

Bravo to the post above from "ew." I've had my Keurig B70 for about 3 years now and have never had a problem. Then one day, poof, the "Not Ready" message appears. I tried every which fix to no avail. I was stunned when Keurig's customer service told me they don't fix the machines but would replace at a lower cost. Yes, that IS environmentally irresponsible. Are they really trying to tell me it's impossible to replace the heating unit? I really doubt that. I feel the same -- $200 is a lot of money to spend on a coffee maker and only get 3 years out of it. If I didn't love the damn thing so much I would not get another one, but I've yet to find a machine I like as much as this one (when it's working!) Shame on Keurig for not offering repair service. And by the way, they do not offer extended warranties, either. Bad business!
Posted by: mandamoose at April 20, 2009 2:15 PM

Wow......Only read a few of these reviews. Some good, some bad. I received a B60 for a gift about 2 months ago back in the beginning of March of 09. . From the time I plugged it in, it made somewhat of a loud noise. I saw this in a few reviews and thought that it was normal. Now I know this particular person paid $149.00 for the Keurig B60 and that's an awful lot of money to spend on a coffee maker despite the fact that it does it relatively quickly. But, if it works, makes a good cup of coffee in under a minute and continues to work, I figured it would be money well spent (on me). Well, it stopped working yesterday, the 30th of April 09!! The noise has grown consistently louder and the brew sizes are not consistent at all. Now when I close the K-cup into the resivoir and push the button, it spits out about 1/10th a cup and then waits 2 and a half minutes to pour out another 5/10ths of the same cup. Then I have to lift the k-cup holder, push it closed again and then push the next size smaller button and repeat step one, then wait another 2 and a half minutes!!!! VERY ANNOYING! I tried descaling yesterday with White Vinegar and it obviously didn't work. Now, I really like this coffee machine because of the timely fashion I can have a cup freshly brewed gourmet coffee for me in the morning. But I'm debating whether or not to go and spend an ADDITIONAL $170.00 on the B70, only to find out that it's going to do the same thing in a short amount of time! As a few of the last posters here stated, if I'm paying that much money for a coffee machine, it had BETTER work continuously for a period of AT LEAST 5 years, if not more! I'm going to contact Keurig about this B60 that I received and see if they will repair/replace it for me at no cost since it is only 2 months old! I hope I don't get the run-around! Will keep everyone posted!

I just recently upgraded from one Keurig maker to the new Platinum - however, only 2 weeks of use and I'm running into the same problem as I did with the older model, the coffee stops brewing half way through making me start over again with a new kcup. I frickin' love this machine, so I have no plans on not using it. I've contacted customer service today to see what can be done to fix the problem. I would still recommend to anyone to ditch the old pot coffee maker and switch to a Keurig machine.
Posted by: CoffeeNut at May 29, 2009 6:30 PM

Don't buy a Keurig B70. Stop working today with the "Not Ready" on the LCD. Customer service made me feel like it was my fault! From all I have read on the internet, it is a problem with the water pump. This has been a promblem for some time. So I will tell everyone I know not to buy this product. Customer service would do nothing for me and my machine in only 2 years old. Again, don't buy any Keurig.
Posted by: Jeanne at June 29, 2009 9:47 PM

Just got a replacement for a B70 Platinum that the heating element failed after 2 years. Had to pay $130.00 but also got 4 free boxes of my choice of coffee. Let me tell you that the new unit with the quiet feature is completely silent. There is 0 noise. Keurig customer service has been great. Have purchased over 10 units in the past 4-5 years for ourselves, parents, sister and friends. Great product and great coffee.
Posted by: Jr at July 9, 2009 12:06 PM

I got a B60 and I don't know if it was a bad one or not but it was loud, similar to the old Senseo. I love the taste of the coffee so I decided to bring it back to the store and spring for the B70, let me tell you it was day and night the B70 was very quiet and much faster well worth the difference in price. So my ADVICE TO ANYONE DECIDING BETWEEN THE TWO GO FOR THE B70 YOU WILL LOVE IT.

I purchased a B70 1 yr ago and today it just stopped working. After spending time with customer service, they determined that the pump was broke. I called on a Sunday afternoon, got a human on the phone and they were very prompt and respectful. I have a new machine coming in 10 days. My B70 has always worked wonderful, and the thought of brewing coffee using a filter brew system sickens me. Make sure you DESCALE your machine every 4 months or so depending on usage. Those pesky minerals will ruin your keuring. USE FILTERED water .. keep it clean and you, will enjoy your mornings with keurig.

KEURIG B70 vs KEURIG B77. To tell you the truth, I'd never heard of the Keurig B77! My friend was heading to Bed bath and Beyond to pick up the B70 for me. She first stopped at Costco to do some shopping. She called me to inform me that Costco had a Keurig B77 model for $139.99 and would I be interested. I checked online and was at first skeptical because; I had my sights on the B70 model. I had read all the reviews and knew this was the model I wanted. I told my friend to take a picture of the box with her camera phone and send it to me. Low and behold, the picture on the box looked EXACTLY like the Kuerig B70! I still was skeptical. So, I went to BBB website and compared the features. The unit on BBB website was $169.99. In the box, you get just the unit and a 12 k-Cup variety pack. CHECK THIS OUT! The Unit at Costco is $139.99. Not only do you receive the Unit and the 12 K-Cup variety pack, you also receive, 60 MORE K-Cup varieties FREE!!!! Thats right, FREE! For $139.99 YOU RECEIVE THE EXACT SAME MODEL B70, plus, YOU RECEIVE 72 free K-CUPS varieties! not finished yet! AND, You also receive a FREE K-Cup Filter!!! Thats right! The device you normally pay $14.99 for, that allows you to brew your own coffee grinds? This is also included FREE of charge, in the box with the Costco Model B77! I am so GLAD my friend found this at Costco! Don't pay $169.99 at BBB or any other place for the B70 model! GO TO Costco and get the B77 Model for $139.99!!! It is a much better deal!!! You get the B70 + EXTRAS for $$$ less!!!
