It is instant coffee. The same kind that you put in a cup full of hot water and stir. Buy a HB brewstation and a burr grinder and use filtered water if you want a good cup of java.

When I bought this, I did not have much thought about this machine except just coffee itself. Now, having used this machine for 6 months, I found that I am throwing out so many plastic packages. So, I bought re-usable coffee filter, but it was just messy and the coffee was not that great. And all the convenience is gone. You might better use the normal brew coffee machine that use a single sheet filter.
There is an another option of using K-cup pod maker, which I haven’t tried. But then again, you have to go through making pods by yourself, which may not be an option for the poeple who just want convenience.
Unless each k-cup is being made recyclable, wasting plastics for each cup of coffee is a wrong thing to do, especially when we have many ways of coffee making without hampering our environment. Besides, it doesn’t make that great coffee, enough to justify damaging the environment.

I hope Kurt Russel doesn’t sue me for that title.
I decided to take the leap into pod brewing systems with this as I received a gift certificate to help with this purchase along with several other discounts. I think I went out of pocket $90 and I still feel cheated.
The basic problem is that there are not enough grounds in the pods- even the pod that allows you to add your own grounds. Instead of K-Cups they should have said K-Scoops as the amount of coffee in the pods is FAR too miniscule to have much flavor impact on the water. I ran with the recommended Dark Magic and Sumatra “Extra Bold” blends, but even they fell way short. I tried to make this work for about a month and then gave up on it.
If you’re looking for a cool blue night light that makes instant hot water from a pressurized resevoir (PV=nRT) then this might be for you. If you’re looking for strong coffee look elsewhere. If you like coffee-flavored water then this is probably for you.
I’m actually brewing manually with a funnel (my organic chemistry Bodum glass vessel broke- I think I’ve broken EVERY piece of Bodum glass I’ve ever owned), a gold cone filter (left over from the $50 Bodum MDC- Manual Drip Coffee-maker), and a Thermos 12 oz stainless steel cup (The Holy Grail of coffee cups, which reminds me…I need to buy another pair of these gems).
This all started with my “voluntary” recall of the 8 cup Starbucks Barista brewer. If I had it to do over again I would NEVER have turned in the Barista. It made great coffee ALL the time and I could overbrew if I wanted to and have coffee soup. Stupid is as stupid does. I think I’m going to buy a Black and Decker Smart Brew and just make 1 cup at a time (like I do now) so I don’t have to try and find another thermal maker as I haven’t found one yet that hasn’t been panned in the reviews.

I returned it. It was broken when I received it. I was very unhappy with the return process trying to get a return # was very difficult and felt like I was imposing on the staff. I have bought many things on the site and have never had to return anything. I ended up getting one from the Keurig web site (of couse it cost a little bit more). Your welcome to call me on my cell @ 520-820-2790.

I got the Keurig B70 Gourmet Single Cup Home Brewing System for my birthday. For $159 the B70 really does not do much.
The B70 has a nice blue LCD that displays some silly and un-needed information like announcing that water is needed or the water is hot, or the water is cold. The B70 has a transparent water tank that is lit up with a blue LED. The machine looks cool on your counter when the kitchen lights are out. That is the best thing about the B70.
In addition to looking cool, the B70 will squirt preheated water through a capsule that costs several times as much as the coffee inside ought to cost.
Yes, it is said to be ‘gourmet’ coffee that you end up with, but tell me what is ‘gourmet’ about shooting water that has been keep hot for several days or hours though a plastic capsule full of coffee that was ground who knows how long ago has been sitting encapsulated for who knows how long?
A ‘Green’ machine it is not. The water is kept hot all of the time, so the heater is kicking on and off, and the pretty blue lights are going all the time, so it enlarges your carbon footprint. The plastic capsules, one for every cup, end up in the landfill. Those capsules will probably last a couple of centuries. You could turn the machine off to save energy, bu then you would just have to wait to heat the water when you want a cup, and that waiting defeats the whole purpose of the machine.
Using the reusable capsule with your own coffee is a pain because first you have to find it, unscrew the top and clean out the grounds from last time. Between washing the grounds out and filling it up, of course coffee grounds spread everywhere. Again, that defeats the whole premise of the machine.
Get a teapot, some #1 or #2 Melitta filters, a holder, and some Starbucks ground coffee. Doing a cup or two at a time with this setup will be almost as fast, cost less, reduce your footprint, the coffee will be better and you can buy an entire collection of gourmet coffee with the hundred bucks you save. Also, the teapot can be put in your cupboard when you are done, unlike the B70, which is rather large and probably won’t fit anywhere except on your counter.
