This model is very similar to the B40, but it is a bit taller to accommodate larger mugs and travel mugs. This device has three brew sizes; 6oz, 8oz, and 10oz. This offers you a little more flexibility in how much coffee you can make. You could run two 8oz cycles for a 16oz cup of coffee or two 10oz cycles for a 20oz cup of coffee. It also has a large water resevoir, so you several people can make coffee very quickly without having to refill the machine.

The unit takes several minutes to warm up before you can brew, and it shuts itself off after 2 hours. The nice thing about this coffeemaker is the digital display, which allows you to select different setting such as cleaning cycles etc. The B60 also allows you to use re-usable My K Cup filters so you can use your own ground coffee without having to constantly buy expensive k-cups. This feature gives you even more flexibility in your coffee brewing. Any coffee grounds can be used!

This Keurig’s smaller sized model. It brews two cup sizes, 7.25oz and 9.25oz. It uses k-cups, but it can also use a re-usable M K Cup filter. This allows you to use regular ground coffee in the Keurig machine instead of buying pre-made k-cups which cost about $30 for a 50 pack. It can get expensive if you drink a lot of coffee, and the My K Cup allows you some flexibility in how you make your coffee. This unit does not have a digital display that the B60 and B70 have. These two models also have larger cup sizes for filling up travel mugs etc. However, you can simply run two cycles with the B40 which would remedy any problem of not making enough coffee. Also, the machine shuts itself off after two hours of non-use.

It uses a large 48oz reservoir, so you can make multiple cups before refilling. This mid-sized model that is a step under the B60 and B70 models. It is for the more cost-conscious consumer. Also, depending on you coffee consumption, this model could be just fine for you. It will definately make enough coffee for the average person and a few friends. However, it is just missing a few features the higher end models have.

This model makes 8-ounce cups of coffee in under 3 minutes. It is the smallest Keurig coffeemaker sold by amazon, and is compact enough to fit practically anywhere. This is a good model for college students to have in their dorms. It is small and compact, so it won't take up valuable study space. Also, the garage or home office are good places to put this machine as well.

If you are buying a main home coffeemaker, go with the B40, B60, or B70. These models are larger and can do the job faster and better. The B40 does not cost too much more and has a lot more features. This mini brewer is for people needing a second coffeemaker, do not drink alot of coffee, or need to save space.

The B30 model only brews 8-ounce cups, while the Keurig Mini Plus brews 6, 8, or 10 ounces. This may not be a big deal but they are the same price. Take your pick, but I would go with the model with more features. Read about it here.

Note: Higher end models start at top and progress to lower end models.

Velocity Models will brew coffee quickly: 10 cups or 50oz in about 3 minutes. They have a heated holding tank that keeps the water hot, so it is ready to brew at a moments notice. The water temperature remains about 200 degees F which is the industry accepted optimal brewing temperature. Most coffeemakers brew at a lower temperature, and some companies offer thermal coffeemakers that are designed to brew around 200 degrees F for about the same price as this model but they cannot match in quality. This Bunn coffeemaker also has a specially designed system that mixes the water and coffee evenly in the filter basket to make sure all the flavor is extracted from the coffee grounds.

These models are designed to keep the water at 200 degrees F for extended time so you can have coffee ready with the push of a button in about 3 minutes. It is not programmable, but it is designed to be always on and hot. It takes about 15 for the water to be heated for the first use. If you don’t like hot water to sit for a long time, or you need a programmable version, check out the Phase Brew Models.

The Bunn BTX-B has a thermal carafe with no warming plate. Warming plates ruin the flavor of the coffee if you leave a pot there too long. This model has a vacuum insulated carafe, so there is no need for a warming plate. Experienced coffee brewers know this, and will either buy a model with a thermal carafe or immediately pour the coffee into a thermal insulated carafe or pitcher.

If you brew coffee multiple cups per day, the velocity coffee maker is for you. It is always ready to brew you a cup of coffee in under 3 minutes. If you only drink a cup in the morning, we recommend the Phase Brew.

This is a step up from the B40 and B60 models. It offers five brew sizes: 4oz, 6oz, 8oz, 10oz, and 12 oz. This many brew sizes is nice, and gives you plenty of flexibility for you or your guests needs. A 16oz option would be nice, but this large a brew size may not be possible with the standard size of the k cups. If you want a large cup of coffee you will need to run two cycles with 2 k cups. However, you will know that each cup you make with this machine will be worth it.

This coffeemaker also holds more water in the reservoir 60oz than the B40 and B60. It would be a good choice for the office or home if you drink many cups of coffee throughout the day.

The My K Cup is a small filter that is the same size as a regular k cup. Pour your coffee grounds in, and it fits into the machine just like regular pre-packaged one. It allows you to buy ground coffee and use it in the machine. This provides you with unlimited brewing choices. The perfect k cup can either be bought or you can make it yourself and this machine provides that total control over your coffee flavor. Some great tasting exotic types of coffee are not available in pre-packaged k cups, so keurig built this flexibility into all their machines.

This model is designed to fit in small spaces, dorm rooms, home offices, shops, and small kitchens. It can brew fast, so if you drink one cup and decide you need another you can have it fast. This is one of the cheapest Keurig coffeemakers available. We recommend if over the B30; the Mini Plus has three brew sizes and the B30 does not. They are about the same price.

Does not have a large water resevoir; it only holds the amout of water you will brew for one cup. There is also not enough room for large travel mugs. Model was designed to make one cup quickly without taking up much space on the counter. If you need to make multiple cups at a time for a several people and have plenty of space, get a model with a large water resevoir such as the Keurig B60.

This drip coffee maker is very compact, and will not take up much space on the counter. It has an analog type clock with digital hands. The buttons are ergonomically placed around the clock.

Key features: Fully programmable for 24 hours so you can have your coffee ready when you are, timer measures how long your coffee has been sitting, automatic shut-off after 2 hours, brew strength select buttons, and it uses paper filters or an optional re-usable gold tone filter. It also comes with a disc style carbon water filter that removes chlorine from your tap water.

This model will definitely get the job done for a low price. If you are cost conscious and need a good 12-cup coffeemaker then this is a good bet.

This model has a large range of cup size options; it brews any size between four and fourteen ounces. This is a larger range than most keurig models. However, it does not use K Cups; it uses pods. these are pretty widely available online. I havn't sen a lot of them in stores, but I'm sure they are there. Coffee pods don't get as much publicity as K Cups for some reason.

Expect the same top-notch quality with this machine as with other Bunn Coffeemakers. Bunn makes several other one cup coffee makers, but this is probably the cheapest. It is a simple design which is something I like about Bunn. The fewer moving parts in a machine, the less probability it has of breaking.

These models are top-of-the-line programmable coffeemakers. They are the best you can buy because the quality cannot be matched by other manufacturers. They will cost more than most, but in the end it is worth it because you will get a consistently good cup of coffee for many years to come.

Key Features

Phase brew time is slightly longer than the velocity brew models. Because of this they may brew slightly stronger coffee. They also have a heating phase of 6 minutes and a brewing phase of 4 minutes, so you will have your coffee ready in 10 minutes start to finish. They don’t store the water continually heated like the velocity models do. All phase brew models are fully programmable, so the coffee will be ready when you are.

As you can see, they are very compact, and have two columns that hold up the water tank and brew basket. It is a very economical and simple design with no extra frills; just pure function. Both models have stainless steel components; the removable brew basket is stainless steel. It simply slides out when you are ready to load it with coffee grounds or clean it. The HT has a thermal insulated carafe while the HG does not, and the HT will keep your coffee hotter for longer on those cold days. The top of the machine has a twist lid, where you pour water in. This is not a flimsy lid; it is solid and well designed.

Great economical coffee maker with a thermal carafe, this model is cheap. Great if you are on a budget. It is small enough to fit on the counter without taking up lots of space.

It is programmable, so coffee is ready when you wake up. The white window you see on the side lets you know where the water level is, and there is one on each side.

Thermal carafe: keeps coffee hot longer without having to externally heat it. Coffee makers without thermal carafes typically have warmers underneath the plate to keep coffee hot. These can scorch the coffee, and it won't be fresh anymore. If the coffee might sit in the carafe for a while, you should get a thermal carafe to keep it fresh

It is a drip coffee maker, and Mr. Coffee invented the drip coffee maker decades ago. They have had many years to perfect this design.

The manual coffee maker is found in most upscale coffee shops, and it gives the barista total control over the coffee brewing process. It is a ceramic cone either held on a stand above the cup or place directly on top of the mug. A filter fits down into the cone, and you put as much coffee grounds as you like into the filter. Before adding coffee grounds, run some hot water over the filter to make it stick to the sides of the cone; and this also primes it so water will flow through better once you start brewing.

When you're ready to start, pour hot water over the grounds; make a small circle with your hand as you pour it over the coffee grounds so they will be completely saturated with water. The more coffee you put into the manual pourover, the slower the coffee will filter through resulting in a stronger coffee. If you put less coffee into the filter, water will flow the coffee faster resulting weaker coffee. Heating your water in the microwave for about 2 minutes in a measuring cup is the fastest way to get the water up to temperature before pouring it. Also, you may need to stir the mixture if the flow slows down; the grounds can clog the fliter and slow flow. Just take a spoon and stir up the mixture and it will start flowing faster again.

This control you get with a manual coffee maker cannot be matched by a machine. Coffee strength can be adjusted using an electric coffeemaker by putting in more or less coffee grounds and/or pressing a brew strength selector switch. However, the manual pour over can give you the most control over making coffee.

Another advantage to the manual coffee maker is that there is very little clean-up. Simply throw the filter away and rinse the device and place it to dry. You don't have to wash out a carafe, empty water from a holding tank, or clean out a brew basket.

The manual coffee maker is a fast and easy way to make great coffee without buying an espensive machine!

Many coffee shops use grind whole coffee beans right before pouring the grounds into the filter; and this provides the freshest coffee possible. You can do this as well, but you'll need a bean grinder.

Note: You pretty much have to get these online; some grocery stores carry the cheap plastic ones. I would recommend a high quality porcelin one from Amazon.com; you'll have it in a few days! Great customer service and great products!

This is a thermal coffeemaker which means it heats the water hotter than a regular coffeemaker before it comes into contact with the coffee grounds. Expert baristas know that this hotter temperature extracts more flavor from the coffee giving you a better tasting cup of coffee. This model is also fast making ten cups in less than seven minutes. This model also includes some bonus features to keep the coffee hotter after brewing. The nozzle is specially designed to keep air away from the dripping coffee until it is in the decanter. The decanter double wall insulated to preserver hotness and freshness.

In addition to these bonus features, this model also included all standard features such as cleaning cycles, fully programmable, internal replaceable water filter. It does not say that it has a brew strength selector, but apparently this is not necessary with the hotter temperatures of this coffeemaker.

This is a great coffeemaker. This device is built well and and economical; it will make a great cup of coffee. It is compact, brews fast and hot, keeps the coffee hot for a long time, and is easy to use. It is a great choice for anyone who loves coffee.
