Buy the Keurig B70 Platinum at Cooking.com

Keurig updated their top of the line single cup coffee brewer, the Platinum B70, a while back and dropped the price by $30… that’s right, they made it better AND cheaper!

So - truth time here. We all know that I’m a huge fan of DIY coffee - from roast to cup. I like to start with green beans, roast them myself in a pan or popcorn popper, and brew it in a press pot or even a saucepan on the stove.  On the other hand, I sometimes really appreciate convenience, especially if the convenience doesn’t come at the expense of decent coffee. If you like your coffee neat, sweet and easy, a Keurig is definitely the way to go. How do I know this? Because it’s how my mom makes her coffee now.

So what’s to like about the new, updated Keurig B70 Platinum? Here’s the quick rundown:

1. It runs QUIETly - like you can barely hear it even when it’s pumping.
2. It makes great coffee, keeping the water at the right temperature for brewing.
3. It has a new ICED coffee setting.  Just fill a cup with ice and use the 3.5 oz iced setting
4. It’s programmable, so you can set it to make your coffee for you.
5. It’s a very, very pretty machine, and you know how I feel about pretty machines.
6. Best of all - it’s $30 cheaper than it was last year. You can now buy a Keurig Platinum B70 Single Cup Coffee Brewer (the one that they gave away at the Grammies last year) for $169.95.

I’ll just add that one of the biggest reasons I prefer the Keurig to any other single cup coffee brewer I’ve seen is the incredible variety of coffees, teas and hot chocolate that’s available in K-cups… and the fact that you can MAKE YOUR OWN K-cups. Yes, you can.
