Review: Breville BKC600XL Gourmet Single Cup Brewer - Use K-Cups and Ground Coffee
Breville is widely known for making exceptional small kitchen appliances, and for producing very attractive small appliances. We were very excited to find out that indeed Keurig and Breville had teamed up this year to introduce a high end Keurig brewer designed by Breville. The results are exceptional - a very polished interesting staineless steel design, with Keurig K Cup brewing technology, and all the features you can get in any Keurig machine - including the reuseable My K Cup integrated into the machine allowing you to use your own ground coffee instead of K Cups, and a charcoal water filter in the tank reservoir.

Unboxing the Breville BKC600XL Gourmet Single Cup Brewer
We've just unboxed the Breville BKC60XL Gourment Single Cup Brewer. The Breville single cup brewer uses Keurig K Cups and also the reuseable Keurig My K Cup coffee filter that can use ground coffee. The machine is pretty stunning once unboxed, and we are really excited by the charcoal water filter, and the My K Cup storage on the top. For a full list of features of the new Breville BKC600XL Gourmet Single Cup Brewer please see our earlier post. Now - let the unboxing begin!
Do we see some K Cups in this box? A K Cup sampler pack?
Breville BKC600XL Gourmet Single Cup Brewer Arrives for Review
The Breville BKC600XL Gourmet Single Cup Brewer has arrived for review. We'll have a full unboxing and also first impressions soon. So far our initial impression is the Breville BKC600XL Gourmet Single Cup Brewer is heavy - and we think it's from all that glorious stainless steel. At $299 it had better be heavy, as this is the most expensive and feature laden Keurig single serve coffee maker that uses both K Cups and ground coffee to date.
You can read about all the features of the Breville BKC600XL Gourmet Single Cup Brewer in here.
Breville BKC600XL Gourmet Single Cup Brewer - Stainless Steel K Cup Brewer Perfection
The Breville USA Gourmet Single Cup Brewer BKC600XL looks like it came straight out of ten forward. The design has what we would like to call - "stainless", as there's no single inch on this machine sans the controls that doesn't come covered in glorious stainless steel. The Breville BKC600XL Gourmet Single Cup Brewer is also filled with new features not present in other Keurig single serve coffee makers. There is an included My Cup Reuseable coffee filter complete with storage bay in the top, along with the first Keurig single serve coffee maker to have a charcoal water filter in the water tank. The Breville BKC600XL Gourmet Single Cup Brewer is also completely compatible with over 150+ varieties of Keurig K Cups - from coffee, to cocoa, and tea. The Breville BKC600XL Gourmet Single Cup Brewer is priced at $299, making it the most expensive Keurig single serve coffee maker for the home.
Here's a run down of all the features with pictures and briefs, and of course - we'll have a full review soon...
Breville to Launch Single Serve Brewer with Keurig Technology
We've recently gotten word the new Breville/Keurig machine will be coming out this Fall in Q4 2007. Way back in March (and thanks to a post in the forums for a reminder), we got news Breville and Keurig had launched into a partnership to make a new Keurig brewer. The Breville machine will use Keurig K-Cups, and be compatible with all existing K Cups. So, this will allow any new Breville/Keurig brewer owner to choose between Keurig's 150+ varieties of coffee, tea and hot cocoa K-Cups. Currently, Keurig offers K-Cups from Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Diedrich, Gloria Jean's, Timothy's, Van Houtte, Celestial Seasonings, Bigelow, Twinings, Tully's and Caribou Coffee.
The Breville-Keurig single-serve brewer will also feature the following:
Stainless steel body and water tank wrap
Diecast handle
64 oz. backlit water reservoir
My-Grind adapter
4 brew sizes (small, regular, large and extra large)
