If you're reading this review, you're most likely doing research and
trying to decide between the Keurig line (B40,B50,B60), the Tassimo, or
the Senseo. Out of those three, the Keurig is the best looking, the
most durable, has the best heating and pumping mechanism, and has the
largest variety of coffees and teas available. The Tassimo's
versatility is tempting, but variety of coffees is lacking, the machine
is a first-run model that does not feel as quality as the Keurig (I
could barely find a piece of metal in the entire thing), and it cannot
be set to warm itself up like the Keurig. The Senseo isn't bad and I
may even consider getting it as a second machine, but it is kind of lame
how you need two pods to brew an 8 oz cup of coffee. Considering the
price of pods that I was looking at, it would outprice both the Keurig
and the Tassimo for daily usage.
Between the Keurig models
(B40,B50,B60), I spent a lot of time trying to decide and eventually
went with the B60, mainly because the B60 is the only model that brews 3
different sizes of coffee--5.25, 7.25, and 9.25oz. The B50, a favorite
amongst shoppers, does not offer the 9.25oz size. This large size
allows my Oxo travel mug to almost completely fill after using one Extra
Bold K-cup. As an added benefit of the B60, you get beautiful blue
LEDs behind the display and the water tank, as well as a polished chrome
handle and polished chrome outer-ring to the display. It looks very
modern and very classy in my otherwise boring kitchen. Highly
recommended.
