Five Reasons to Love the Keurig Brewing System
We've got five great reasons to buy the Keurig, including its versatility and environmentally friendly functionality.
If you considered buying the Keurig brewing system a year or two ago, but decided against it. Well, now's a great time to look at it again! Not only will it be a useful addition to your home, but it would also be a good gift idea for upcoming events like Father's Day and college graduation. Here are five reasons to love this very hot, single-cup brewing system.
1. Makes hot drinks, one cup at a time
I'm tired of making a pot of coffee and having most of it go to waste. If I make a small pot, we run out. If I make a large one, it's too much. The Keurig prevents this brewing ambiguity by making just one cup at a time. This not only cuts down on waste, but allows two or more beverage drinkers to have a choice over whether they want the same strength or variety as their partner.
2. Adjustable cup size
Depending on the model of Keurig you want, you have the choice of up to three brewing sizes: 5.25 ounces, 7.25 ounces, or 9.25 ounces. Great for larger travel mugs on the go or regular mugs enjoyed at home.
3. Auto on and auto off functions
The Keurig features a 48-ounce water reservoir so you don't have to fill it every time you'd like a cup. By programming in the times you'd like it to automatically turn on and automatically turn off, you can designate when you'd like the system to heat up that water and for how long to keep it hot. This enables you to brew a hot "cuppa joe" quickly, and whenever you want it.
4. My K-Cup reusable filter
If you're concerned with the impact you have on the environment, or the impact the Keurig will have on your wallet, you'll really appreciate the My K-Cup reusable filter. This allows you to use any coffee or tea in the Keurig system, cutting back on the empty K-cup canisters you put in the trash, and on the amount you have to spend on them. It also enables you to drink any brand you'd like, and not just the ones that manufacture K-cups.
5. The K-Cup carousel tower
Okay, this isn't really a reason to buy the machine, but I love the handiness of the K-Cup carousel tower. The carousel holds up to 30 K-cups on a lazy Susan base, making it easy to display and choose from your favorites. Sure beats canisters of tea bags on the counter, hot chocolate in the cupboard, and coffee in the fridge!
The Keurig is a great choice for making hot chocolate or tea, but it's really for die-hard coffee drinkers who will be most impressed with this machine--even if they already own a regular coffee maker.
