New Keurig B66 "Ultimate",
By
This review is from: Keurig Platinum Gourmet Single Cup Coffee & Tea Brewing System 60 K-Cups & My K-Cup Reusable Filter
I have just purchased a Keurig Model B66 "Ultimate" and tried it out within the hour. My first opinions on this model are:
On a negative note... I found that the sound is noticeable when the unit is pumping the water into its heater. The individual K-Cup coffee containers while convenient, are costly per cup. On the positive side... I drink black coffee and I feel that this unit does heat the water to a sufficient temperature and brews a drinkable cup of coffee very quickly. Another plus... Keurig also offers a solution for the "costly per cup servings" in that it sells a reusable coffee filter as an accessory. (This filter will permit you to use your own coffee which relates to a much lower cost per cup.) My biggest regret about purchasing this particular model is that I didn't notice that the largest cup this unit brews is only ten (well 9.25) ounces... and not the twelve ounce mug size that I consider to be "my" standard size cup. In all fairness I can't find fault with Keurig for that because it clearly states the cup brewing size right on the back of the box.

Best Coffee System / Package Available,
By The only differences between the B60 and B66 is the color of the machine and quantity of sample K-Cups. The B60 is almost all black with a chrome handle while this B66 has a black body, silver top and chrome handle. The B60 gives you the standard 18 pack K-Cup sample, while the B66 gives you an additional 4 18-packs of samples AND a reusable "My K-Cup". The My K-Cup is a reusable filter you can put your own coffee in if you really want to (kind of defeats the purpose). After using both the B60 and B66 I can tell you they both work EXACTLY the same. Any review you see for B60 has the same features, benefits, and shortfalls as the B66. I'm the only coffee drinker in my house so it became a big pain to measure out beans, grind them, empty them from the grinder into the coffee maker, add the water, then wait for the coffee. Plus when you're done you have to discard the used filter / grounds and any left over coffee and clean the carafe and maybe the drip mechanism as well. THE KEURIG IS ALMOST 100% MAINTENANCE / CLEANING FREE. It has a 48 oz water reservoir so you don't need to refill daily. The cleanup is just taking the used K-Cup and throwing it out. There's no grinding of beans or cleaning necessary and I don't have to spend 1/2 an hour to make 2 cups of coffee. Some other nice benefits are that it also makes tea, hot cocoa and plain ole hot water (for Ramen or other uses). It also has a cool blue LED and blue lit water tank. The auto-on and off features help you save time and money. The 90 K-Cups the B66 gives you should last a long time and help you decide which blend of coffee(s) you prefer most. The water reservoir is also dishwasher safe. The cons are few and far between. It is noisy when it starts and finishes making a cup of coffee. The water intake makes a loud vibrating noise when it pumps water in or out of the internal reservoir. This doesn't bother me, my wife, or my infant son. The strength of the 9.25 oz versus the 5.25 ounce cup is diminished. It's just the amount of water being used on the same amount of grounds. So if you want a regular 9.25 oz coffee you should probably use a strong K-Cup. Refill K-Cups are somewhat expensive, but it's WAY less then a gourmet coffee shop. If you look around and use coupons it's a great way to save. I've had the coffee maker for 3 days now and I couldn't be prouder of my purchase. I look forward to my daily coffee finally! One last note, if you're going through a carafe or more of coffee a day, you may want to think about whether or not it's a cost savings or worth the time savings for you. But for me, this is the best product I've come across in a while.

Convenient / Good Coffee,
I'd never heard of K-cups when I ran into the
Keurig B66 in Costco. At [...]with 90 K-cups, I figured it was worth a try. As a bit of a coffee snob (longtime "Peetnik" who finds Starbucks a little too weak) I'd avoided systems like Senseo because I figured that they wouldn't brew coffee as strong as I like it. And that WAS my experience with the Keurig, too: The sample K-cups were okay, but--unless brewed on the tiny 5.25 oz setting-- far too weak for my taste. Again, let me stress, MY personal taste is for coffee stronger than probably 95% of Americans, so take that into account. Cons: Even after trying the K-cups recommended by others who say they prefer strong coffee (Emeril's "Big Easy Bold," Coffee People's "Donut Shop Coffee," "Black Tiger" & "Wake Up", Timothy's "Midnight Magic" & "Rainforest Espresso," and so on, I'm still having trouble finding a stiff cup of Joe brewed at 7.25 oz. Also, they haven't developed an environmentally friendly K-cup yet. Damn! And it's pricey, by home coffee maker standards. Pros: Clean-up...there really is none! This format is the fastest, easiest, most trouble-free way to get a quick cup of decent coffee. I'm in Bachelor Heaven! I brew whenever I feel like it--'cause it's so easy--and never waste excess coffee. I will never resort to instant, so this is a wonderful compromise: It ain't french press coffee, folks, but it's pretty good and ridiculously easy. Two or more folks can enjoy entirely different coffees at virtually the same time. Also, this package does include a device for using your own coffee: after continuing to audition K-cups, I may eventually resort to stuffing it with some quality Peet's coffee, here and there. Also, there's a ton of different types of coffee, cocoa and tea for this available at decent prices on Amazon (some people consider ~44 cents a serving expensive, but I'm used to paying for quality coffee--and not pushing for that many cups out of a pound --so K-cups at ~$[...] for 48 cups (no tax or shipping) seems modest to ME. From what I'm told, the B60 is the closest model for comparison... both have 3 sizes (5.25 oz, 7.25 oz & 9.25 oz). I've heard another Keurig model offers a 11.25 oz option, but given that I'm having trouble finding something strong enough at 7.25, 11.25 seems laughable. I'm using Brita water, for what it's worth, and have only had the machine for about a month, so I can't yet speak to its durability. It vibrates a bit and makes a little noise. Neither bothered me, but I can see that if one person was up, making coffee, a light sleeper in a nearby room might notice the sound. Here's a tip: A company called Kenoza[...] offers single cup purchases. I know the 90 cups that mine came with sound like a lot, but I immediately realized I needed the strongest options, so went to Kenoza and got 2 or 3 samples (at 46 cents each) of many of the strongest ("Extra Bold" is the K-cup jargon)...coffees; far better than blindly buying 48 cups of something you may hate! So, in summary, at [...] with 90 K-cups I think it's a freakin' bargain. Obviously, the more you have to pay, the less spectacular the deal. Drinkable coffee--no one's going to mistake it for Peet's in a french press--but it's better than instant and some regular drip coffee makers. If you like a variety of coffees, and don't care if it's strong, run, don't walk, to the Keurig...and the lack of clean-up is AWESOME!
