Keurig B50 Single Serve Coffee Maker Review

The first thing we noticed where nice and easy to follow unpacking instructions in the inner side of our box.

The packing is a surround of form-fit, molded Styrofoam that helps to protect the coffee machine in case of transport errors.

The machine looks nice and is made of solid materials. It has respectable 48 ounces big water reservoir that is very easy to fill with water. It comes with two »hooks« that engage the side of the unit. That ensures easy and trouble free moving.

Numerous safety systems have been designed into the B50 unit.

Keurig b50 has a programmable on-off feature which users will surely find helpful. It uses magnetic sensor captured in the water tank, that will not allow use, if the water reservoir is low or not in place.

And it can only brew beverage in your coffee mug or cup if the water is at the optimal temperature.

The Keurig b50 comes with digital clock, LCD and a brewing indicator which helps the user to note the brewing time of the coffee.

Display is also very functional when the heating tank becomes too heavily scaled. At that time, the unit displays "DE-SCALE" sign on LCD monitor.

If the scale builds up to a degree hazardous to the machine's life, the "DE-SCALE" warning starts to flash. That feature can really save you a lot of money.

The Keurig b50 single serve coffee maker is programmable and can turn on or of and make a cup of coffee at specific pre-programmed time.

The Keurig system is based on the K cup proprietary system that seems to offer many benefits over the pods seen in other similar single serve coffee makers.

By K cup system user insert K-cup into machine, place the mug under and in less then a minute a cup of delicious gourmet coffee is prepared. If you want you have the option to prepare other hot drinks also.

The good thing is that Keurig offers a huge range of K-Cup varieties from different companies such as Diedrich Coffee Roasters,Van Houtte, Timothy's, Green Mountain Coffee and others.

They also have a large range of blends from fair trade coffee, certified coffee, organic coffee as well as teas and hot cocoa to extra bold roasts, dark to light roast, flavored and decaffeinated.

How to start brewing with Keurig b50 single serve coffee maker?

Keurig b50 is very easy to sett up. You get a complete list of instructions on a separate sheet and also in the manual.

IMPORTANT: The priming is done just the first time with a new machine.

The pump works for a bit until the internal tank fills and then pumps some water through the brew system.

To start the machine take a K cup, lift up the lever and drop a K cup in the brewing chamber. Then lower the lever and let the two large-bore needles do the rest of the work. The two needles pierce the k cup one from the top and one from the bottom where the brewed coffee exits.

Put your coffee cup on the drip tray under the spout and press the appropriate button for small or large portion when the LCD shows »READY« sign. That is all there is to know about brewing a perfect cup of gourmet or other speciality coffee.

When you are finished open the lever and the used K cup will be there and ready for easy removal.

You will have no problems with cleaning the Keurig B50 Gourmet Single Cup Brewing System. Unlike some other coffee machines, this machine is a »clean up heaven«. You will not worry about any drips from the coffee because of its sleek and classy design and features.

We noticed that the heat on/heat off cycle works very fast. It points to quality heating construction.

There is certainly more inside here than a cheap button thermostat or capillary tube sensor that are found in so many lesser machines.

The brew temperature seems to indicate that is the case. We registered a very consistent 205F – 215F water temp coming from the upper brew needle with the coffee exiting the brewing group at about 193F or 89C.
