Keurig B40 Elite Gourmet Single-Cup Home-Brewing System

I love coffee but I hate making a full pot just for myself or having to go down the street to get a cup from the local convenience store. This is perfect for me. I was going to get the "mini" B30 model but decided to get the B40 model instead. The machine does make some noise but it isn't that loud. I think I only made note of the noise because some reviews said that it was loud so I actually paid attention to it. Otherwise I probably wouldn't have noticed. The coffee brews very quickly which worried me at first because I thought that the coffee would be weak or not hot enough but it was made to my liking. The machine is very easy to use and clean up is as simple as flipping the handle and lifting the used K-Cup out. The footprint is a little large for a smaller kitchen. I have an eat in kitchen but lack sufficient counter space and outlet availability so the biggest challenge was finding a place for it. If space is a problem, go with the B30. If not the features of the B40 as compared to the B30 make it worth the extra money spent.

I love this one cup coffee maker... coffee is always ready when you are and it is so easy to use. It's really nice to be able to offer everyone the coffee of their choice while you enjoy your personal favorite too!

I purchased this item for my boss as a Christmas present. While I have not used it myself, he loves it and has placed it in his home theater snack bar area (where he practically lives) where it is apparently getting quite the workout.

Specifically, he says that the coffee quality is excellent, and that his guests like the ability to select any type hot beverage from the array of k-cups.

So if my boss is happy, then I am happy!

Outstanding personal coffee maker for the home. If you are the only person in your home who drinks coffee then this is the model for you. It holds enough water for eight cups at a time. The B30 does not have a reservoir so it wasn't optimal for me. If more than two people in your home drink coffee everyday then you'll probably want to get the next size up B60. NOTE: The variety pack that comes with the product is limited. Mostly regular bold, medium coffees, no real flavors. Maybe, a couple of hazlenut.

The B30 is a fine product for travel or very limited space, but it is WELL worth the extra money to get any of the larger models. Do your research, there's an easy comparison tool on Keurig's website, but you'll find that while this one delivers the same wonderful coffee as the bigger ones, you'll have to refill the water for each cup, and, it takes a full 3 minutes to brew, while the other models hold enough water for 8 cups or so, and take only seconds to brew each cup. That being said, this an an adorable little machine, brews outstanding coffee, and is way quieter than the big ones.
