Well let me just tell you...this is the best investment that I have ever made. (except my Grandma bought it for me as an apartment warming gift...but still!) Seriously, I get so much use out of this thing, it's ridiculous. I use it at least 3 times per day. Not joking.
It's the perfect coffee maker for me since I live alone. It makes a single cup at a time in a matter of 5-7 seconds. Glorious, right? I mean who has time to stand around and wait on their coffee in the AM? Not me...I'm usually rushing out the door, but leaving without inhaling a cup of coffee is not an option.
Another perk: it isn't obnoxiously loud. No beeping! And the best thing: it's so easy to use. You pop the K-Cup (which is the coffee) of your choice in the top, close it (the machine then punctures a hole in the K-cup), select your cup size (there is a normal coffee mug size & a travel mug size) and BAM...
It even tells you when you need to add water and "de-scale" (aka clean) the machine. I've been using this machine since October and I haven't had to de-scale it yet. I have to add water about every other day, but like I said, I use it A LOT. There is also an "auto off" button, but mine stays on all the time. If you do turn it off, you have to wait a few extra seconds when you turn it on so that it can heat up to make your coffee.
And how cute are these little K-cups?! Oh AND you can make so much more than just plain coffee. In just this picture there are 4 different blends of coffee, iced coffee, white tea, red tea, and apple cider. I also use it for hot chocolate but I didn't have any to take a picture of. There are SO many options when it comes to K-cups. My favorite right now is the Blonde blend by Starbucks. SO delicious. It's a smoother blend - I'm not really a bold coffee kinda girl.
So if you're in the market for a new coffee machine.. Look no further! This is the one :) There are other models that are more advanced than the one that I have, but this is the basic model and it does everything that I need a coffee machine to do.
The model that I have is called the Keurig B40 Elite Brewer Coffee Maker. Mine was bought at Bed Bath & Beyond for $119.99...and worth every penny!
PS - Thanks to this post I got to make a cup of coffee and enjoy it at like 7 PM. Probably not so good for my new bedtime...oops! . One last thing :) Last week I won a giveaway over at Modern Buttercup & my winnings came in the mail today. Oh my gosh - I just had to brag on the cute job that Annabel at Fragmented Splendour did! I didn't even want to open either of the packages because of how cute they were. I mean look!
Oh...and can I just tell you that the only thing that I actually won was that bracelet! Look at all the extra goodies that she sent over :) The photo says, "This is a quote designed to inspire you to be the best that you can be everyday." Love that!
And one of the buttons says, "You are amazing incredible fantastic brilliant"
Precious! I'm so glad that I won this giveaway (because I love free stuff) and because it caused me to find Annabel's sweet blog & shop. They are definitely worth checking out. Thanks, Annabel :) . Well look at that.. two Product Spotlights in one. Aren't you lucky? ;)
