The Keurig B30 is one of the delights of the single cup coffee machine world – delivering a fresh cup of gourmet tea or coffee in under 3 minutes. What’s more, you can take it anywhere.
Utilizing Keurig’s patented K-Cups, the B30 mini brewer is able to make over one hundred (and growing) different varieties of premium brand coffee or tea from a predetermined measurement.
Keurig B30 review
The Keurig B30 doesn’t stop shining there. It also features one touch technology that allows precise control over every aspect of the coffee making process without the inconvenience of grinding beans, handling filters or even measuring coffee. All you have to do is open the lid, insert a K-Cup and push the button and you are done.
This mini brewer is ideal for the office, kitchen counter or even dorm room at college. You can even take it with you when you travel, and you’ll always have a perfect cup of coffee anywhere at anytime. Now you have a portable, push button coffee making solution!
I would like to add at this point that the Keurig B30 is not intended to carry the load of a typical at home coffee machine – its main purpose is for “low traffic” areas like the ones mentioned above and other places where it would be impossible to bring along a fully decked out coffee system.
The fact that this coffee machine fits into a suitcase should be a dead giveaway as to its main purpose!
Seriously though, some people may be dissatisfied with this product but I will reiterate; it is important not to expect a Fiat to drive like a Ferrari. It really is a horses for courses scenario. Regardless of that, some less than pleased buyers have found that..
- It has a long brew time (usually around 2 minutes) and has to be filled with water for each cup of coffee made
- It has only one cup size (8 oz).
- It has no adjustable temperature setting (however the default of 192 degrees will suit most people).
What are other people saying about the Keurig B30?
Phil from Virginia, USA offered his thoughts on this versatile coffee machine, and suggested who the tarket might be for the B30.
This is my first venture into the world of single-serve coffee makers. I researched for several weeks, visited stores, researched some more, then decided upon the Keurig system. To me, this system seems like the best balance of affordability, availability, and convenience….
… In the end, the lack of features was the reason I decided to purchase it. You have the K-Cup benefit with fewer moving parts which in my mind that means fewer things to fail. Yes, no pretty blue LED lights, no timer, no water reservoir, no choice in temperature, and no choice in brew sizes. However, there is also no noise, no vibration, smaller footprint, and extra money left in my pocket to buy more K-Cups
If the above review sounds like you and you would like a simple and unassuming coffee machine then the B30 might be the one for you. You have to admit, Phil does make a good point regarding the fact that the less technology there is, the less that can go wrong.
In this case, it is safe to assume the the simple design of the machine does not affect the quality of the coffee in any shape or form.
Conclusion
At the time of writing, the reviews speak for themselves on Amazon with 196 of the 254 reviewers giving a four or five star rating. For the price, ease of use and sheer dependability you really cannot look past the Keurig B30.
You will find that the acquisition of this machine will make your life a whole easier and less stressful – you will be able to try out all of the different K-Cups with your family and friends while simultaneously avoiding those costly and potentially weight-gaining trips to the coffee shop where you can be tempted to buy fatty pastries as well as high priced coffees.
They also come in black, white and fire truck red for those that love aesthetics or who are concerned of whether it will match their kitchen decor.
