Kurig B 60 Coffee Brewing System Review

Tiffany Young: Hello and welcome to neo-fight.tv, the technology review with two points of view. My name is Tiffany Young. Ben Freedman: And I am Ben Freedman and it’s Tuesday, July 11th and I got to tell you, I am a coffeeholic. In fact, I had a little bit too much coffee this morning. Tiffany Young: As I told them, first thing I walked in, I said, “Too much coffee Ben, you’re cut off.” Ben Freedman: Yes. I also would like to make this announcement right now. We will review any coffee products sent to us at any time. Tiffany Young: So you need to send that to me, to my attention please, not to Ben because Ben definitely has his fill of coffee products. Ben Freedman: Now, you had mentioned to me about a month ago you were thinking about buying that Starbucks coffee maker. Tiffany Young: Yes, it’s like a thousand bucks. And it’s an espresso coffee grinder-maker thing, but the problem was that I drink mochas every morning and so does my husband, and they don’t make the mocha powder to reproduce the coffee at home. Ben Freedman: Mochas are not really coffee, okay? My rule is if you’ve got chocolate and milk and cream— Tiffany Young: How is mocha not coffee? Put espresso in it. Ben Freedman: First of all, it’s espresso, there’s no X. It’s espresso, not expresso. Tiffany Young: Whatever, I said espresso. Ben Freedman: And if it’s got coffee, milk and sugar, you know what it is, it’s a milk shake. Tiffany Young: It’s not -- Ben Freedman: You are drinking a coffee-flavored milkshake. Tiffany Young: No, I don’t think so. A milkshake is made with milk and ice cream. This is chocolate with three shots there, or quad, that’s coffee. It can still get you all riled up in the morning, so coffee’s coffee. Ben Freedman: Well, for much, much cheaper— Tiffany Young: Except for $4.00 a cup, right? Ben Freedman: Well, for much cheaper than that and for much cheaper than the espresso grinder-maker from Starbucks, which is a cool product, you can get a really nice little product like this. This is the Keurig— Tiffany Young: I think you got it. Ben Freedman: Keurig B60 Coffee Brewing System and I have to tell you, it is a very neat little system as Vanna over here is demonstrating. Here’s what you do, so you fill this tank with water right here. Here’s a water tank. You go and fill it up with water. And then, every coffee is individually wrapped in a little package. Hold that up there and you can probably see what coffee will you be drinking today. Tiffany Young: You know, my favorite coffee— Ben Freedman: You favorite coffee? Tiffany Young: No, the guy’s name from the host show, the Vanna—what’s the guy’s name? Alex? Thank you, Pat. Today, I am drinking— Ben Freedman: She hasn’t had enough coffee yet today. Tiffany Young: Well, I am just trying to keep up, you know. Ben Freedman: Okay, read the coffee. Tiffany Young: The Wild Blueberry Mountain coffee and this is very good. Ben Freedman: Read the description in front of the box. By the way, the coffee that we are drinking today all comes from the Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, which is—thank you very much for sending us all this stuff. Tiffany Young: The sweet flavor of juicy sun-kissed blueberries baked to perfection in a buttery crust. Ben Freedman: Wow! Now, I am drinking -- Tiffany Young: So we should eat these. Ben Freedman: I am drinking rainforest nuts—hold on a second—rainforest, you probably drunk too much coffee. I am drinking a rainforest nut—I think you are a rainforest nut. Tiffany Young: You know what, I think we should open this and eat it. Ben Freedman: Let me read this to you, a subtly sweet delightful coffee with a taste of vanilla, caramel, cashews and Brazil nuts. Tiffany Young: You read these, you read the labels on these little containers— Ben Freedman: It’s like pie. It’s like dessert. Tiffany Young: It’s like you need a fork. That’s what it should be like, right? Ben Freedman: So what have you done here? You take the milk—this is an individual single serving pouch, you drop it in here and then you close this up and you hit the button and boom. Tiffany Young: And one is a small cup, medium cup, large cup. Ben Freedman: Three different cup selection sizes. You hit a button and your coffee is brewed. When you’re done, you lift this up, you take this out and you throw this away and it’s done. Tiffany Young: And you can put your purified water in here if you don’t want to drink the tap water and stuff. Ben Freedman: Yes, water or vodka in there. Tiffany Young: Oh god! That’s disgusting. Do you imagine that? Ben Freedman: Hot vodka drinks. Tiffany Young: Vodka Kahlua, I think it’s Kahlua. Ben Freedman: I don’t know if you can see this, it’s punched a little hole in here and it punches a little hole in the bottom and there’s a little filter in here and the water goes through. The great thing about this is that everyone in the house can drink—since it is single serving, you can have a different flavor for everyone in the house. You know, I have one of those Starbucks machines and the problem is that it’s full of regular coffee and when someone wants decaf, it doesn’t have one of those— Tiffany Young: I just think it’s such a pain in the butt, taking them apart, cleaning them. Ben Freedman: I know, so this is much, much simpler. Tiffany Young: I mean the stamping part, all of it. It’s so good. Ben Freedman: We’re drinking the coffee here as we speak. Tiffany Young: This is my third cup of blueberry crumble cake or whatever this is. Ben Freedman: Okay. There are a couple of downsides to this machine. We got to mention it, I love this machine but it has a couple of downsides. Tiffany Young: I love this machine, too. It’s great. Ben Freedman: First of all, you can’t buy this everywhere, like if I run out of coffee, I could go to Wallgreens and pick up some coffee and put it in my machine. These are not available everywhere. I haven’t seen these at the supermarkets yet. These are called K-cups. We got these ones from Green Mountain. You could get them online. They are called K-cups which is odd since it’s coffee you think it could be C-cups. But C-cups sound a little brassier-like. Tiffany Young: Yes, exactly. Ben Freedman: I don’t know. Tiffany Young: It sounds like a Victoria’s Secret ad. Ben Freedman: I thought this machine was a little expensive, about 160 bucks but you think that’s reasonable. Tiffany Young: Yeah, I think it’s very reasonable. Ben Freedman: I guess compared to the Starbucks product. Tiffany Young: Yes, if you really do compare it to the simple and ease of use, it’s a very great design. When this is plugged in, you can see that it’s got a little blue LCD light on the top and that’s kind of cool-looking. It has a nice design and it’s so easy, and you meet everybody’s needs in your house. Ben Freedman: One last thing, Green Mountain built themselves as a very environmental company and that’s great. I am not sure how environmental having single serving plastic cups are. Well, if you take a look at this box, this box holds 25 of these little things whereas if that was a regular box of coffee this big, you get a lot more than 25 cups. Tiffany Young: I think not assuming that we all recycle. Ben Freedman: That’s true. That would be great to have a program where you actually send these back to Green Mountain and you could refill them. Tiffany Young: Oh you mean like the cups with the breast cancer thing, right? Ben Freedman: You completely lost it now. Tiffany Young: Never mind. Ben Freedman: Breast cancer? Tiffany Young: No, they send the lids back, they’re aluminum and they donate to breast cancer. Ben Freedman: They donate the lids to breast cancer? Tiffany Young: They donate the proceeds back to Breast Cancer Research by returning the lid via the mail. Ben, get with the program. Ben Freedman: So I love that there is no filters. I love that each person can pick their own flavor. Tiffany Young: This is a great product. Ben Freedman: The only—I'm going to duck it a point only for the coffee. You can’t get the coffee anywhere just now, so if you are, if you get that hankering at 2 a.m., you can’t go out to Wallgreens or 7/11 and buy some more coffee. Tiffany Young: I’m definitely five out of five on this. I think it’s a wonderful, wonderful product. And it’s so easy that someone’s not going to go and mess it up on you, and then you have to go turn around and try it for him. Ben Freedman: That’s true. Tiffany Young: And who has— Ben Freedman: No manual reading. Tiffany Young: No manual reading, and who’s thinking at like five in the morning when they try to make coffee anyway. Not me. It keeps something simple. Ben Freedman: So that’s five out of five for Tiffany and four out five for me, so that’s nine out of ten for Keurig B60 Coffee Brewing System which makes a very good coffee.
