Keurig K75 Platinum Single-Cup Home-Brewing System with Water Filter Kit, One Size, Silver/Platinum

I love this machine, to say it's convenient is an understatement. I drink hot beverages, namely tea and coffee to get me through my day. I am always rushing or multi tasking. Before I had this machine I was always dehydrated, I never drank enough fluids, I don't like cold beverages much, but never had time to make a tea or coffee because my demanding 3 year old would always need something and when I finally had that spare 15 mins to make a coffee or tea, I'd just slump on the sofa...time would pass and I never enjoyed a drink. Now my coffee is ready at the touch of a button, at the perfect temperature. I appreciate the different brewing sizes and often fill up my starbucks tall size mug with the largest brew size. Don't buy a mug bigger than starbucks tall size or it won't fit under the machine by the way...unless maybe you removed the drip tray but that would be inconvenient.Set-up took less than five mins and I'm slow when it comes to that kind of thing. I love how convenient it is to fill the reservoir - simply pull up a little flap and pour a cup of cold tap water in. The k-cups are fabulous little things, you do need to try a few until you find ones you like best though, I'd recommend a variety pack to begin with. I immediately bought a box of Tully's extra bold dark roast decaf and it was too strong for me. I'm drinking it anyway, but wished I had tried some samples. I LOVE the cafe escapes Chai tea, it'sa little sweet so if you don't like that, don't go for that...I also love that they make Tetley tea k-cups and I like the twining English breakfast decaf. I'm going to try some of the k-cups designed to be brewed over ice soon, there's some nice berry flavours, check out the Keurig website....and then also check Amazon, because there may be better prices for k-cups there. There's no mess and no wastage. K-cups are not cheap, that's my only tiny criticism, but I am in LOVE with this machine. I usually can't be bothered to leave product reviews but this time I really felt I owed this product a good review as I'm enjoying ti so much. My mum loves it too....when is it going to come out in the UK, would love to get her one. My cuz has a Keurig, hers is a slightly more simple model....get this one, its worth it - don't think it was as simple to fill reservoir on hers and she didn't have choice of brewing size.

This is my first experience with single cup serving and thus far it has been excellent. My wife and I rise in the morning at different times and we like different types of coffee. This brewing system makes those two factors non-issues. Here is my take on this product:Documentation: Superb. This is like a throw-back to the days when excellent documentation was a given. In todays environment you either don't get any documentation or when you do get some it is on a playing card sized piece of cheapo paper and printed in an unreadable sub-miniature font size. Keurig provides booklets on quality paper with an easily read font size. The illustrations are clear and helpful. Information is clearly presented in an amazingly lucid format to provide maximum clarity. This is some of the best, if not the absolute best, doccumentation ever provided.Set-up: The set-up guide provides 14 illustrated steps that are perfectly presented. The steps include unpacking the brewer, cleaning it, adding water, readig the screen and disposing the initial brewed water. These first 10 steps are labeled "Set-up preparation". The last four steps are labeled "Brew infusion" and cover the actual simplicity of brewing a cup of coffee.Ownwer's Manual: This is a well illustrated document as well. It covers the various settings that are available such as setting the clock as well as programming brew temperature and brew size. Instructions are provided for brewing iced beverages and for brewing hot water for use in cooking, making cocoa and making soup. There is information for de-scaling and cleaning the brewer. There is a trouble shooting section as well. Everything is well written and easy to understand.Shopping Guide: This in the same format and size as the previous two documents and provides a registration card and information about some offers and products from Keurig.Brewer: I cannot in all honesty evaluate the quality of the material used to make this brewer because I am not a materials expert. I can, however, provide information on the performance. Adding water is a very simple task. There is a lid that can be raised and water poured into the canister very easily. I use bottled water which is a cinch to pour. Using bottled water eliminates the need for a filter, IMHO, so I don't iuse one. I am not suggesting that others do the same just that it is my personal preference. Brewing a cup of coffee is the epitome of simplicity. You raise a lever, place in a K-cup, lower the lever and push the BREW button. In less than a minute you have a cup of coffee of your choice in the size and temperature that you have preselected or have changed just prior to pushing the BREW button.Summary: My wife and I are completely satisfied with this brewing system. It is easy to use, brews quickly, and provides for making the type of coffee that each of us prefers at the time we prefer. I have praised the documentation already but it is worth another kudo. This has proven to be an excellent product.
