Our Thoughts …

I bought the Keurig as Brian’s Anniversary/Valentine’s Day present. He combines presents for me so why can’t I for him? Plus if it is a gift I can use too … all the better!

I picked the Platinum Plus model because the reviews noted it wasn’t as loud. We love the five cup sizes offered in this model. I love that I can get a cup of hot water in an instant and not wait for the tea kettle. We have the Keurig timer set so it turns on and turns off on its own. I can also rinse the k-cup area for when Brian makes coffee and I don’t want it in my tea!

Brian loves his coffee from the Keurig as I don’t drink coffee and he hated making even half a pot of coffee to drink on his own. Now he can make a small cup or a large cup and just be done with it.

I waited so long to buy on of these because I was worried we wouldn’t keep using it but seeing how our use is still going to strong, we are excited to be a Keurig family!
