Keurig B60 Single Cup Coffeemaker Review

Ive been a coffee drinker for almost 30 years and Ive tasted coffee brewed just about any way you can imagine. Ive had my coffee singed over a campfire, perked in an aluminum percolator, boiled in a saucepan, and, yes, even dripped through Mr. Coffee. I drink it black, I drink it with cream and/or sugar and Ive even added a few different medicinal libations to it. And at one time, I dated a construction worker who liked his coffee strong enough to climb out of the cup and smack him awake in the morning!

Ive lost count of the number of coffee makers Ive used and abused over the years. They all start out working perfectly. After a couple of weeks, though, the coffee seems to start losing its flavor. Then I start making it stronger for awhile, until it starts to fade again. Eventually, Im using so much coffee just trying to get it to taste like something that I might as well be paying $5 a cup at Starbucks!

About a year ago, I was one of eight guests at a friend's dinner party. At the end of the meal, I offered with the coffee. As I was handing down the cups to her, I noticed she had an odd assortment of little, plastic pods on the counter. When I asked her what they were, she told me it was coffee and that I was in for the best cup of my life. Then she put one single cup under the brewer. One Cup! Did she think I wanted to spend all night making 8 cups of coffee?!

Im sure you can guess the rest of the story. We had 8 different cups of fresh brewed, HOT COFFEE just as quickly as if we had used my crappy coffee maker at home! And it WAS the best cup of coffee Id ever had! In fact, I had 3 that night. I wanted to try some of the different flavors " just to make sure. That night I had Extra Bold, Hazelnut and Butter Toffee and each one was the perfect cup. Remembering my difficulty with coffee makers tiring out after a few weeks, I asked her how long she had had this wonderful machine and she said she had had it for over a year!

The very next day I ordered my first Keurig Coffeemaker. I started off with the Keurig B40 and have since decided that the Keurig B60 is my coffeemaker of choice. Its been on my kitchen counter for a little over 6 months now and each cup of coffee still tastes as wonderful as the first.

One of the features that I like best about the Keurig B60 Single Cup Coffeemaker is that it allows you to brew three different size cups of coffee. Not only is the small size perfect for those mornings when you're running late for work, but the large size will fill a travel mug. This feature also allows you to adjust the strenght of your coffee. Great for those mornings when you need a little extra help getting out the door!

Another feature that I really enjoy is that the Keurig B60 is always on, always ready to brew that perfect cup of coffee. And because it has a 48 ounce water reservoir, you never have to wait for that warm-up time again.

Free Coffee Cups

Everyone loves complimentary giveaways, and everyone is always excited once they see that someone is giving away something as valuable as free coffee cups? Your company's display will be packed with clients as they tell other clients where they obtained the coffee cups that are holding all the useless plastic stuff they got from the displays of your competition. No one will even notice the same old key rings and pens that show up at every event.

Coffee Cups Are Better

Think back to when you used to go trick or treating, even if that was just last October. Liken key rings and calenders to the little orange and black candies that no one actually likes. Coffee cups are like the candy bars of promotional items. Remember all the kids telling each other where to get "the good stuff"? That's what clients will be doing, referring to your coffee cups. And when it comes to any type of promotional item, size is everything. You can't ignore something as big as a coffee cup, especially in comparison to flimsy pieces of plastic. There's no particular season or time period that people use or don't use coffee cups; they're just always around. People drink coffee, or something, in the winter, fall, spring, and summer. Calenders will last four seasons, but that's it. After those initial four seasons, they're landfill bound.

Coffee Cups Make Great Gifts

Coffee cups make especially good gifts, and cheap gifts are what everyone is looking for during Christmas. They're easy to pack, surprisingly durable, and unlike something like a t-shirt, they can't be the wrong size. What a nightmare it would be to gift all of your female employees shirts that were too small...or too big, for that matter. It wouldn't be pretty, and it's not even possible with coffee cups.

Tips On Choosing Coffee Cups

So I'm sure you're asking; how would one go about making or procuring promotional coffee mugs? Following are a few of the things that should be considered. The most important thing to consider is the material you want to use for your coffee cups.

What Material Is Best?

There's lots of materials to choose from, such as plastics, metals, porcelain, or even crockery. Consider that the end product really should reflect your business's purpose. Metal would be a good idea if your company exudes power. For example, a company named SERIOUS BUSINESS would look good on metal coffee cups. A company named Lacy's Pretty Things...not so much. Lacy would probably be happier with ceramic, which provides a much more affectionate and personal look. Ceramic coffee cups tend to really appeal to mothers and other matronly types since ceramic is used in arts and crafts. Plastic cups will tell everyone that your business is available to all walks of life, even those who aren't well off.
