The whisper quiet Keurig Platinum B70 with
Quiet Brew Technology and an Iced Coffee setting.
Keurig is updating the Keurig Platinum B70 with two new features this August - Quiet Brew Technology and an Iced Coffee setting. We recently visited Keurig, and found these two new features to be really what the Single Serve Coffee doctor had ordered.
We love our current Keurig Platinum B70, but the end of the brew cycle was very loud. Now the pump that made all that noise has been redesigned, and the resulting brew cycle is whisper quiet. The Quiet Brew Technology will only be featured on the B70 this Fall.
Check out how quiet the Platinum B70 Keurig single serve coffee brewer is:
The other big update is a new 4 oz iced coffee setting. This is a totally new brew option, and allows you to fill a cup with ice, and brew up a very nice looking iced cup of single serve coffee. This also means the Keurig Platinum B70 will have 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 ounce settings to brew your single serve coffee with.
Nice... I think I'll disregard getting the Mini and will save up for this new B70 instead. Wish Bosch would have thought of this when they made their new Tassimo. Kudos to Keurig for scoring this feature.

Have they moved the power button to the front of the unit, like on the B60? Having to reach around to the rear bottom is a pain, especially with the unit against a wall. That's why I haven't gotten the B70.

The power button is still on the back.

I don't quite understand what the iced coffee setting does....is it just a 4oz drop?

To further clarify on my original comment above, I was talking about the iced coffee feature.
As for Mr Coffee's comment, I'm curious as well... how does the machine brew the iced coffee? Does it reduce the brew temperature to a level which is just high enough to gain flavor out of the grounds?
If it brewed it at normal temperature, wouldn't it melt the ice within a matter of seconds/minutes?

i will just stick to my B40 Elite. I can add ice to my coffee for less than $100.

Anyone know a more specific "release date" for the updated B70? We're really looking for something quiet for our office that can make iced coffee.

I do demo's for Keurig and get all the new brewers for free. I have the B30 and this model and love both of them!

I would like to second Brett's question. I've saved the money for this and have been waiting since I found the original posting here. I want to upgrade, but does anybody know when this model will be released or even where we can check online to learn when it will be?

They're out now. I ran into ONE at Kohls and grabbed it. Others have reported seeing them at Bed Bath and Beyond. Day-amn this thing is QUIET!!!

Do you know if this QuietBrew technology is going to be on any of the other Keurig models any time in the future?
