Go Green with 50 Count Packed Jet Fuel K-Cups for Keurig
We love the low earth orbit we achieve after drinking a cup of Jet Fuel coffee. With speeds approaching Mach 5, this coffee is bold and rich with a dark intense set of coffee flavors. Jet Fuel K-Cups also come packed in a 33% reduction in packaging with a single 50-Count box. The 40% recycled cardboard in every package also helps to make this purchase of single serve coffee even greener with soy based non-toxic ink on all the packaging. And if that wasn't enough you can thank yourself for helping reduce carbon emissions due to more efficient packaging and transportation.
Review: Cuisinart SS700 Single Serve Coffee K-Cup Brewing System
The Cuisinart SS700 Single Serve Coffee Brewing System is the first Cuisinart coffee brewer to use K-Cups for making tea, hot chocolate, and of course coffee. The Cuisinart SS700 Single Serve Coffee Brewing System features a very large 80 oz water reservoir, iced and regular coffee brewing settings, along with storage of a My K-Cup resusable coffee filter. It also features a very fresh yet angular Cuisinart industrial design, along with a very easy to read blue LCD display. We've been looking forward to more options in K-Cup brewers, and it's really nice to have a brewer from a major brand like Cuisinart.
If you want to compare exhaustively the features of other Keurig Brewers we suggest reading the following Single Serve Coffee reviews, however we'll do our best to cover all the differences and innovations we find in this review as well.

Green Mountain Coffee Roasters and Smuckers to Make The Folgers Available In K-Cups for Single Serve Coffee Brewers
The best part of waking up is Folger in your K-Cup! This is big news as Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc. and The J.M. Smucker Company today announced a multiyear manufacturing and distribution agreement under which GMCR will manufacture certain coffee brands owned by Smucker, including Folgers® Gourmet Selections¢ and Millstone® in single-serve K-Cup® portion packs for Keurig® Single-Cup Brewers. Smucker is a leader in the U.S. retail coffee market with its brands Folgers, Folgers Gourmet Selections, and Millstone. Smucker also manufactures and markets the Dunkin Donuts® coffee brand through retail channels in North America.
Under terms of the agreement, Smucker will have the ability to market and sell a variety of Folgers Gourmet Selections and Millstone K-Cups to consumers in the U.S. and Canada through grocery stores, mass merchandisers, drugstores, and wholesale clubs, as well as through Smucker retail websites. GMCR's Keurig business unit will have the ability to market and sell Smucker coffee brands of K-Cups direct to consumers via its website: www.keurig.com.
Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc. will be the exclusive manufacturer of Smucker coffee brands of K-Cups using roasted and blended coffee beans provided by Smucker. A select offering of Smucker coffee brands of K-Cups are expected to be available to consumers beginning in the fall of 2010.
That's right - we can expect even more K-Cups to be available starting this Fall and on grocery shelves across the US. We really hope we see some Dunkin Donuts K-Cups - but who knows - right now it looks like Millstone and Folgers will be the front runners from the Smucker brands.
Timothy's Sugar Bush Maple K-Cups Available for Pre-Order
It's that time of year when Timothy's creates one of our favorite K-Cups - Timothy's Sugar Bush Maple K-Cups to be exact. We love the maple meets coffee goodness, and each cup reminds us a french toast morning growing up in Maine. If you want the entire flavor review, please check out our full review of the Sugar Bush Maple K-Cups.
Cuisinart SS700 Single Serve K-Cup Brewer First Impressions
We've been using the Cuisinart SS700 Single Serve K-Cup Brewer over the past week, and we thought we'd share some unboxing pictures and of course our first impressions.
The Reservoir is huge - almost a 1/3 larger than the standard B70 Keurig water reservoir
The My K-Cup storage on the side is novel - but we are missing the coffee scoop spoon that comes with the Breville - we like not having to find a scoop to add the coffee
The controls are nice and the display icons are a bit clearer - showing the ounces in the silhouette of the cup icon
It's very quiet so that's nice the Quiet Brew technology is throughout all the Keurig models now
The metal outer coating wipes up easily and is very solid - but it also feels really industrial
The black larger reservoir next to the Keurig B70 reservoir.
You get the brewer, sample K-Cups, charcoal filter, and instructions.
More impressions in our full review next week where we answer your questions as well. You can sound off in the comments or add to our Cuisinart Questions thread in the Single Serve Coffee Forums. Also you can tweet us a questions or two, and send us questions on our Facebook page. Whatever the method, we'll try and get these questions answered within the context of the review.
Keurig B150 and B155 Touch Screen Single Cup Brewer Arrives for Review - We Answer Your Questions
When it rains it pours single serve coffee brewers here at Single Serve Coffee. We just received the new Keurig B150/B155 brewer to review from Keurig. Both the Keurig 150 and 155 models feature a new touch screen user interface to help assist in making your piping hot cup of single serve coffee, tea, or cocoa. Though these brewers are aimed at the small business and home office market, you can also purchase these brewers as a consumer for your home.
We want to know your questions prior to our review in the coming weeks. Do you have questions about the brew temp? How about the reservoir size? How does this brewer compare to the Keurig B70 or the Breville or other commercial Keurig brewers? Ask away and we'll get your questions answered.

Van Houtte to Produce Wolfgang Puck K-Cups for Keurig
Van Houtte is set to produce Wolfgand Puck K-Cups for the Keurig single serve coffee brewing system. We've been missing our Wolfgang Puck coffees as of late, and it's nice to see even more coffees coming to the Keurig system.
There's no official word on the exact line of flavors, but we expect they'll be some returns from the earlier coffee pod days, and hopefully the Wolfgang Puck Rainforest K-cups will appear from the coffee abyss.

Cuisinart SS700 Single Serve Brewing System Pictures
We've got a ton of pictures from Bed, Bath, and Beyond to share with you on the Cuisinart SS700 Single Serve Brewing System that uses K-Cups. This brewer comes with a charcoal water filter, and has a My K-Cup reusable filter stored away in the side of the brewer. The Cuisinart SS700 Single Serve Brewing System is compatible with all K-Cups including the coffee, tea, and hot cocoa K-Cups. Pricing is set at $199.99.
We should have one of these brewers to review very soon, so stay tuned in the mean time enjoy the pictures.
The controls look very familiar, and you can see it has an
Iced-coffee setting.
Keurig B150 and B155 Touch Screen User Interface Single Serve Coffee Brewers
The Keurig Commercial Series B155 is specially designed for use in small to medium sized businesses, medical offices and home offices and offers more ways to personalize the coffee brewing experience. It includes a new one-of-a-kind, interactive touchscreen interface that allows users to walk through a variety of functions, and an easy to fill, removable water reservoir - their largest at 90 ounces - can make up to 18 cups of coffee before needing a refill.
Like all Keurig brewers, the B155 uses Keurig's patented K-Cup portion packs eliminating the hassle of grinding beans, measuring coffee, handling filters and messy clean-up while brewing a gourmet cup of coffee or tea in less than one minute. With over 200 different coffee, tea and hot cocoa options to choose from, everyone in the office can find something they want to consume.
The B155 is available through a Keurig Authorized Distributor, or online at www.keurig.com for $249.95. Make sure to check them out on Facebook at www.facebook.com/keurig to enter their Photo Contest to win a year's supply of K-Cups (through Feb 7.)
You'll need a small to medium business to purchase one, but we like the giant reservoir, and we think the touch screen interface will be a welcome addition to the single serve coffee world. We should have one of the B155's to review soon.
Update: Several readers have written in and it appears you can order one of these regardless of being a small business owner. So if you need the features - you can enjoy the B155 in your home as well.
We were told about this amazing K-Cup over the weekend by our loyal Single Serve Coffee reader and friend Len. He described the K-Cup as simply the richest and boldest K-Cup he's had in quite some time. So we purchased some earlier in the week, and they arrived yesterday. Len was dead on. The Caribou Coffee Mahogany K-Cups produce a bold molasses, spice and semi-sweet chocolate cup of coffee combined with a very bold dark base. We simply love this coffee, and we think you will too. The Caribou Coffee Mahogany K-Cups are available fresh from the roaster when you order them direct online.
We've not had the pleasure of sampling this hearty, full-bodied blend of medium and dark roasts from Newman's Own Organics, but we're anxious to. Supposedly bold yet refined. Strong, yet smooth. This coffee is Fair Trade Certified, organic coffee and now available in an 80-count box. If you don't want 80 K-Cups, there is also a 24 count box available. We'll see if we can drum up some of these K-Cups to review soon.
Review: EZ-Cup for Keurig Single-Cup Machines - Make Your Own K-Cups and Use Your Own Coffee
The EZ-Cup and EZ-Cup Filters allow you to make refillable K-Cups with a filter sleeve that fits inside the EZ-Cup, and then fits into the brewing slot in your Keurig Brewer. Unlike the Perfect Pod Holster which allows you to use coffee pods in your Keurig brewer, the EZ-Cup allows you to use any ground coffee in your Keurig Brewer.
The EZ-Cup filter paper.
Update: Many readers have written in asking if you could use your Perfect Pod Holster with the filters. We have tried this and the spring inside the two different products is well - different. The Perfect Pod Holster has a very strong longer spring and the EZ-Cups is shorter to make room for the filter sleeve. We recommend buying the EZ-Cup and not trying to make the Perfect Pod Holster work. We did not get good results if we used the Perfect Pod Holster - it's for coffee pods not for use with the new EZ-Cup filter sleeve.
It's different from the My K-Cup reuseable K-Cup because you don't have to wash out a filter basket, after you're done filling the EZ-Cup and brewing, you simple open the top and pop out the spent filter basket made of paper. This makes disposing of the coffee grounds really easy, and the entire popped out coffee filter and coffee are able to be composted.
We've had the EZ-Cup now for a few weeks thanks to the folks at As Seen on TV Products sending us one to review, and we have tried a variety of coffee grounds with various success - all of the coffee produced being really quite good. We find the darker finer ground roasts to be our favorites.
