Customer Reviews

Quiet is the word
I purchased the B70 first time around in August this year, unfortunatly it was defective on arriving. I was able to get a feel for it though as it did try to go through the motions, it was extremly loud and vibrated all over the counter. Amazon was great about the return process and gave me a full refund. I almost gave up on the B70, but I saw a review that said a new B70 was coming out anytime. Well, I just got mine in, and I can say it is SO much quieter than the first model. No vibrations and hardly any sound. It also has an Iced brew mode which I haven't tried yet. So as long as the model you buy has the Iced brew mode, then expect one quiet machine!

I bought it because of the reviews. Good idea!
The Keurig B70 "Platinum" is the best coffee maker I've ever tried, and I've tried em all! I am a single guy who basically stopped drinking coffee because you can't make less than 4 cups using a standard drip coffee maker and the "single serving" makers were disappointing. I recently tried the Senseo coffee pod system and it wasn't any good. I needed to use two pods to get the coffee strong enough and then I had to wash the pod holder. With the B70, you pop in a K Cup, hit brew and in a few seconds you've got a piping hot, perfectly brewed cup of coffee.

It's so good that I'd like to see someone do a blind taste test comparing K Cup coffee to the $4.00 a cup places. My money would be on the K Cups.

I was surprised at how good the tea tastes! Tea is supposed to require a couple of minutes of steeping to properly release the flavors. Once again, in just a few seconds you are drinking piping hot, perfectly brewed tea. I only got one of the K Cup Hot Cocoa and it was very good. I'd like to play with the amount of water that gets added, but it was very good.

Finally, I chose this Keurig machine because it has an Iced Coffee setting. This only puts 4oz of water through the machine resulting in a concentrated but small cup of hot beverage. The smaller amount of hot liquid gets diluted to the perfect strength when you add it to ice. I haven't tried making iced tea using this method, but I'm sure it would work beautifully.

I read more than 150 reviews before buying this machine. If I didn't drink coffee, I still would have bought one of these. Never have I seen a product get such rave reviews. After using the machine for a couple of days, I totally agree. This is an amazing coffee maker.

MYTH BUSTED - It's LOUD! I have gone through YouTube and watched videos of other Keurig machines and they do sound like their compressors make a loud buzzing sound for a few seconds. My machine is almost whisper quiet. I can hear the compressor come on when I push the "Brew" button, but it's very, very quiet. Maybe if the machine is defective it might make more noise, but mine wouldn't wake up someone sleeping in the same room.

Buy this coffee maker. You will end up buying them for everyone you know.

Outstanding Product
I have had this product since February 2008. The performance is flawless. The coffee tastes the same everytime. I also purchased the carousel and the adapter so I can use my own grind I mix. The noise is so short lived, in my opinion, I do not find it a problem. I would never go back to a different coffee system. Are there some coffees I do not like? The answer is, yes. One option is to purchase samplers to see which you prefer. If you do not like the first cup of a particular mix, is it highly unlikely you will like the next cup because the delivery system is consistent. I keep a wide variety of K-cups to choose from for my husband and myself, as well as guests. The Ghirardelli hot cocoa is an excellent hot cocoa. I never have to toss out coffee because it is "old" tasting. If you find your cup of joe is a little strong for you, change your cup size "up one" from the menu bar. If there is a better price than Amazon.com, I could not find it. Even if it had been a little less elsewhere, I would have stuck with Amazon because you cannot find better customer service anywhere.
